Yes another New Year (cheers!) and another round of “Trends”. Lots to sift through in the home decor world these days! Many say conflicting things!

So... where do you go for the real goods?
If you  it then that is pretty much all you need !

Really! It’s your home, you live there and if you love a certain look colour style then go for it! How to pull that all together is another whole thing and that's maybe where you look for help - magazines, inspiration pics (Pinterest Houzz) , call a friend with a good eye, call in a professional. We do A LOT of styling with only what homeowners currently have. It's amazing what a little shifting, editing and styling can do. 


If you want a refresh but limited on time and budget (most of us!) There are simple quick ways to refresh and feel like you are up to date with your space.
We recently finished a living room and dining room makeover for our lovely client who was feeling it was really time for a change. She said she hadn't had anything new or updated since she was married 23 years ago. We get it! Family, school sports, work, ... life... it takes up so much of our time we can forget how it feels to step back and take a break. We think she not only needed a change but also so deserved to have a space that makes her feel completely comfortable and happy. A place to relax and unwind but also to entertain!

TLC House Update

in , , , , , , by Tracey Jones, January 25, 2016
Here's a very long over due look at the progress on our TLC House renovation. 
The good news is we are pretty much on schedule ( even with the holidays thrown in there!) and according to the banker ( L not T )  pretty close to on budget. I know I'll get told very quickly when we are NO LONGER on budget 
so that keeps me a little scared and very thrifty! The sign of a good partner !


Living Room Paint & Shuffle!

in , , , , by Tracey Jones, November 01, 2013
Here's a quick living room redo we just finished yesterday.

New paint helped transform this nice, tidy - but a little bit dreary - formal room into a bright and pulled together space for book club and other social events!

Using most of what our clients already had we redesigned the layout added in a few pieces of art & accessories ... bam!

fresh new look.

Happy New Year!

It's the day after Labour Day....I know...not a new year technically but this for me is always the time to get back to work, get inspired and get things done! 
(do I hear cheerful humming from all the moms on their way to school ?! " ...the most wonderful time of the year...." lol) I usually do better at my September resolutions than I do at my January endeavours so I am going to stick with that plan :)

I also made a promise to my family at the beginning of summer that I would detach from my computer ( unless work necessary)... and guess what...it was fine!
