White Walls, Shiplap and a Whole Lot of Love For those of you who’ve followed me for a while (thanks for drinkin’ the Kool-Aid), you’ll know that 99% of my work is Online Colour Consulting (E-Design) and I take only a limited amount of local projects each year – like one or two…maybe. But regardless, […]
Our Open Layout Kitchen and Dining Room Makeover: Before and After Photos
A Lil’ Modern, a Lil’ Transitional and a Wee Wink Farmhouse: Our Home Update Journey Oh, this house. Or let me rephrase that, ‘Oh this home’. That’s right, we’re finally home.

E-DESIGN: 2 Exterior Colour Facelifts!
2 Before and After Projects! Stone, Brick and More… I LOVE exterior painting season.

E-Design: A Small Kitchen Makeover
From Oak to Over the Top! There’s nothing I love more than wine, Ryan Gosling, Cornuts, making a small room look bold and beautiful and this wee kitchen satisfied in a BIG way. But here’s the deal – I only have 2 photos. However, this kitchen is so friggin’ gorgeous that I just HAD […]

And this cute little […]
A Modern Farmhouse Style Home: Paint Colours and More!
While my E-design keeps me hopping, once in a while I’ll take on a local project just to get out of Tim’s hair (what’s left of it, mwahaha). And this is a project that I actually finished a few years ago, but since the owners are now thinking of selling, I decided to get in […]
An E-Design with Edgecomb Gray: The Best Greige Paint Colour!
Edgecomb Gray – My FAVE Greige Paint Colour Greige is a tricky one. SO many people think that when they choose greige, they’re going to get this perfect blend of beige and gray, but that’s rarely the case! It’s kind of like mixing red wine and white wine – you don’t necessarily get a […]
E-Design – An Oak Cabinet Makeover with White Dove

EDesign: Painted Maple Cabinets – A Gorgeous Off-White Makeover!
Before and After: Painted Maple Cabinets Seriously, nothing makes me happier than ‘after’ photos flowing into my inbox. Well, except wine, wine makes me happy. Oh, and Ryan Reynolds, he makes me happy too. Combine wine, Ryan and some after photos and it’s a GOOD NITE in the Mawdsley house (maybe not for Tim). […]
Small Bathroom – From Boring to Beautiful On a Budget!
Adding Personality to a Small Bathroom (Corner Shower) This bathroom was one tough customer. With its corner shower and pedestal sink, it was less than functional and super fugly – unless you’re a fan of fluorescent pea soup green. And while I could definitely improve on the vanity and paint colour, there wasn’t a lot […]
