Too Much is Never Enough
Scarboro
Injecting a major fun factor was key to the brief and our approach was all about conveying something different. A little wild, a lot expressive: a ten foot tufted sofa, bottle green backsplash, a colour-washed family room, vintage details and New York inspired basement. Driving the concept was the desire to have this family transported from the mundane to ‘anything but boring’ exuberance. Bring on the ‘cray’.
The One in the Mountains
Canmore
This mountain property huddled in the shadow of the iconic Three Sisters is the new home for a prairie couple enamoured with life at altitude. Clean, uncluttered, room to clear their heads: driven by comfort and the need for an ordered lifestyle. Modern sensibilities prevail with dramatic touches of colour and bold textures.
Escape the Ivory Tower
Glendale
Sometimes it’s not what’s said, but what is not said. Uncompromisingly in love with neutrals, but craving an environment that spoke of discreet luxury and understated elegance, we were given a mission to gently coax a stylish yet calm and cool living room out of the great bones of this house. Emphasizing tall ceilings, adding a new neutral to the mix, and enhancing with well-considered details, this house now imbues the cool sophistication of its residents.

The New Old School
Parkhill
Being the generous sort, Harvey the cat shares his home with a human family of 4. Born out of frustration and launched by a leak; this principal retreat designed with the future in mind is rooted in classic design. Marble here, marble there, splendid details abound. Function over form always but in this case one begets the other and culminates in a balance that positively glows. Very swish, as they say, right Harvey?
Round and Round We Go
Springbank
Surrounded by a gorgeous stand of birch, this residence on an expansive acreage makes the dining room the true heart of the home. Mixing well loved and the new together, this space is equal part glamour and colour. Luxurious materials tie together a dining room fit for any gathering.
Coastal & Coral
Springbank
An active life in the foothills, a sprawling country property and views with prairie light for days. These homeowners take full advantage of the location and sightlines in this generous bungalow. We, however, were tasked with bringing their family together into a snug and comfy space for them to lounge and just be. Cloaked in comfort and colour, movie nights, poker games, homework and puppy scritches are the ultimate luxury.
Sparkle and Shine
Springbank
We call this one Glam Ranch and for good reason. Renovated and refurbished over time, this impressive home – settled in the foothills of the Rockies – was translated from a stodgy and dark ranch style home to a stylish, sumptuous sanctuary that shimmers on the landscape. Informed by fashion, and guided by our brief to add sparkle, no room was left behind in the pursuit. Yes, that is a glint of sparkle in the carpeting, of course, we have rhinestone buttons, and indeed the wallpaper glistens in the evening light.
