This is my own house - so I guess it best reflects me and my personality! I love a little bit of Art Deco... mid century... vintage... oriental... mixed with some contemporary and quirkiness. I don't think I have a definable style but you may have noticed that I like to use colour (a lot of it!). To keep a sense of control, I have used a selected colour palette throughout the house so that there is a flow from one room to another. I love being in this space - first and foremost it's a family home, so it has to take on all that my kids throw at it but it's also a place to work, to entertain and a sanctuary at the end of every day.

To cultivate a sense of warmth and coziness where the family will gather, we added architectural ridge beams and rustic barn wood to the ceilings and updated the fireplace with shiplap. To surprise the client with a living room that truly got the heart of who they are as a family, we created a special nook reserved just for doing puzzles—their favorite way to spend time together.
