A closer look at the finished details of this home!

Opening up the main floor completely changed the way this family can cook, gather, entertain, and enjoy their home. Now the spaces flow together beautifully, natural light carries from one end of the house to the other, and the kitchen truly feels like the heart of it all.

We kept the design classic and elegant, then layered in dramatic details and pieces from the homeowners’ art collection to make the space feel personal to them.

Swipe through for a closer look at the finished home, and head to our last Reel to see more of the before and after transformation. ✨

We are so happy with how this home came together! Seeing the finished space after imagining, planning, and making so many decisions along the way will never get old.

This family loves to cook, host, and spend time together, so creating a main floor that supported that was a huge part of the design. We relocated the kitchen, opened up the wall between the living and dining rooms, and completely changed the way the spaces connect.

Now natural light travels through the home, the beautiful green space outside feels like part of the interior, and the kitchen has become the heart of it all.

Classic, elegant neutrals gave us the foundation, with a few dramatic details and the homeowners’ art collection bringing so much personality into the finished space.
So excited to finally share this one with you🤍

There’s a big difference between using AI to imagine a space and using it as part of an intentional design process.

For this project, we started with a detailed 3D rendering built around the actual dimensions, layout, materials, lighting, and selections for the space. From there, AI helped us enhance the rendering and create a more realistic picture of what the finished kitchen could feel like. And finally, we got to see it come to life.

It’s important to remember that AI is only working with the information that you give it. Trying to plan a space without accurate data and a keen eye can make AI really misleading and problematic.

That’s where working with a designer matters. AI can be an incredible visualization tool, but it doesn’t replace the knowledge behind the design. Understanding scale, proportion, materials, lighting, function, and how all of those decisions work together is what takes an idea from a pretty picture to a space that actually works.

3D rendering → AI enhanced → real life. 🤎

And seeing how closely the finished space reflects the original vision might just be my favourite part.

Where should you splurge, where can you save, and where should you never cut corners? đź‘€

I’m answering some rapid-fire questions about how I approach a renovation budget, including the materials I think are worth the investment, where I see people overspending, and a few places you can save while still getting a beautiful result.

After working on so many different homes, you definitely learn which details are worth every penny!

Want to know the way to an interior designer’s heart? Take notes. 🤍

Tell me you trust my vision. Tell me you’re open to doing something a little different. Give me a healthy budget, tell me you love colour, and if you really want to win me over… say the words “let’s do something custom.”

Works every time. Swipe for my official guide to flirting with an interior designer!

I’m always getting asked where I source pieces for my projects, so here are three brands I find myself coming back to again and again.

I love these as resources because there’s a great range of styles and price points, which makes them useful for so many different homes and budgets.

Whether I’m looking for a statement piece, something simple to finish a room, or inspiration for a project, these are three I always have on my list. Save this one for the next time you’re shopping for your home!

A closer look at all the details of this finished mid-century modern project!

From the custom cabinetry and architectural details to the finishes that tie everything together, this home was such a special one to work on.

We just shared a reel walking through the completed home, so if you want to take another look and see how the spaces all come together, head back to our last post.

For now, swipe through for a closer look at some of my favourite details.

Now we finally get to show you the finished space. 🤎

This mid-century modern home already had so much character, and we wanted the renovation to feel like it belonged here.

By opening up the floor plan and reclaiming the former utility room, we were able to create a much larger, more functional kitchen. Custom cabinetry, a new island, and architectural details inspired by the home’s original era helped bring everything together.

I love seeing how this one turned out, especially knowing how much thought went into preserving the character that made the home special in the first place.

Take a look around ✨
