I’ve always believed that where we live shapes how we live. Our homes do more than hold our belongings, they influence our moods, our energy, and the habits we carry into every day.

I did a thing this summer ….

I’ll admit—I love a good Pinterest scroll. It’s endlessly inspiring and a great starting point for ideas. But here’s the truth: those images only tell part of the story.

In the world of interiors, there are moments when a space calls for more than just colour or texture. It wants a story—something immersive, expressive, and completely unforgettable. Lately, we’ve been reaching for murals, both hand-painted and wallpapered, to bring that next layer of design magic into our projects.

When designing a kitchen or bath, countertops often get all the attention — and rightfully so. But beyond material and colour, there’s one design detail that’s often overlooked and yet quietly influential: the edge profile. It's the finishing touch that can elevate a stone slab from simply beautiful to undeniably bespoke.

Design is filled with decision-making. Some choices shape the now — others shape the future. The most rewarding spaces are built around the latter: thoughtful decisions that hold their value, function effortlessly, and continue to feel beautiful as the years go on.

Every well-designed space begins long before the first mood board is pinned or the first swatch is laid on a table. Behind the scenes, there’s a carefully honed set of tools — part instinct, part experience, and part sourcing magic. As designers, we’re constantly curating: relationships, materials, vendors, and little-known secrets that quietly shape a space from behind the curtain.

There’s a quiet confidence to a home designed with natural materials. Unfussy yet elevated, they bring a sense of grounding—of warmth, texture, and authenticity—that simply can’t be replicated by synthetics. Whether we’re designing a serene lakefront retreat or a tailored family home, these organic elements form the foundation of our work.
