Learn to look not just with your eyes but with your heart. Find the things that connect with you. How else will you know how to design your home?”
Kelly Wearstler
I want you to be happy – at home. Hey, it’s what we all want, but sometimes we get confused or distracted in the process of creating! Things like Trends have a way of steering us away from what we truly love, and quite honestly what brings us joy! Design Trends come and go, like fashion. And, admittedly, there was a time when I followed the trends a lot more closely. As a Designer, I bring a holistic and intuitive approach, and these days, my goals are to Design a Simple Life.

When planning a redesign, remodel or renovation, wanting the latest and greatest is pretty natural.
PRO TIP: Stick to classic and timeless when it comes to style, colour, design, form and function, and it will not only stand the test of time, it will also appeal to the masses. Let’s face it, the bottom line is we all want the same thing; to live a more enjoyable and simple life in a home and space we love! That shouldn’t be a struggle, should it!
