Let me Help – Construction Phase Design

It’s great to work with clients from the beginning of the building process since design input at the blueprint stage can lead to amazing results.  When I work with an architect from the beginning of the process, we can collaborate on ideas and make sure that no detail is forgotten.  Furniture placement, lighting design and traffic flow can be thought out right from the start and the finished product is beautiful and functional.

The decisions can seem endless when designing and building a home.  I will work with the architect, contractor, lighting designer, and kitchen designer.  I will select all specifications needed for the construction or renovation of a home, including selection of kitchen and bath fixtures, cabinetry and appliances, stone, tile and flooring, hardware, and more.  The result is a home that flows seamlessly and reflects a clear design vision throughout.

Finally, you will experience stress free construction since I will be acting as a liaison between you and contractor regarding the flow, coordination and timing of items needed on site for installation.  This lets you enjoy the process and save time and money by avoiding miscommunication and mistakes.

Have you built or renovated a home?  Do you wish you had a designer working with you from the beginning?  Let me know  your experiences.

Lounge Around

Chaises can be sleek and sexy or voluptuous and cozy -  either way I love them.  They provide the perfect perch for reading a book, polishing your nails or comfortably watching television.  Whether you tuck them in a corner or make them the center of attention they add a bit of glam to any room.   Here are some of my favorites from Donghia.  Do you have a favorite?

 

 

 

Vancouver’s Celine Design

Keeping in the Olympic spirit I would love to share the work of the Vancouver interior design firm Celine Design.  Celine Pitre’s work spans from intimate family homes to luxury resorts.  The fantastic home that I have featured here was actually designed by Celine’s architect husband Alan Endal.  Believe it or not the home is a renovated post war bungalow that took advantage of a beautiful mature landscape.  I love the warm organic feel to the home and the interesting use of materials.  Curious? I can’t show you the pictures, but click here to enjoy.
