One of the BEST Greige Paint Colours… Out of the THOUSANDS of online colour consultations I’ve done, there are ALWAYS a handful of faves – there’d be two handfuls, but a girl has to hold a glass of wine ya know. And this dining room is DEFINITELY one of those faves BECAUSE it has […]
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 […]

My e-design client was looking […]

My Home Office Makeover…A Black and White Affair
My Black and White Ikea Infused Home Office (aka budget-friendly) As featured in Apartment Therapy If someone had told me that one day I’d paint 2 of our rooms black and white, I’m sure I would’ve said, “not bloody likely!”. That is, until I painted Cassie’s room white with a black feature wall. And I didn’t stop […]
Our Entryway Makeover – A 2 Storey Revival!
The Great Revival of our Foyer Sweet hallelujah! Oh wait, it’s not THAT kind of revival, however it is kind of like God has shone a light down on our entryway and given it new life – or maybe it’s our new light fixture. Well, either way, our entryway looks NOTHING like it did […]
E-Design: A Home Theatre / Media Room
From Studs to Big Screens (sounds like an x-rated movie, doesn’t it) Featuring Single Room Paint Package with Add-Ons I love to see a project when it’s complete and NOTHING tickles my fancy more than ‘after’ photos (well, other than Tim, I let him tickle my fancy once in a while). So when one of my […]

An Open Layout Renovation: Antlers and Modern Farmhouse Charm
Great Room Renovation I love it when a plan comes together (is that Shakespeare or the A-Team?). Anyway, this 1990’s great room was GREATLY in need of a facelift.

Decorating the Dining Room : My Parents House
From Dining-Wrong to Dining Room How do I know my Parents love me? 1. They didn’t kill our dog after he peed on their new carpet 3 times 2. They buy me Starbucks when I’m sick at home 3. They don’t make fun of the fact that we moved 4 months ago and I’m on […]
