CCSRproject: 2010-13 Textiles for Bench Seat

We are working on the bench seating for the nook to compliment the newly designed kitchen for the 2010-13 project.

The workroom we use is located in Abbotsford and we are very excited to be collaborating again. She is incredibly talented and uploaded a photo of the all the yummy Dwell Studio for Robert Allen fabrics that we sent to her right before she started her work.

Below is a video about the amazing line that Dwell Studio and Robert Allen created. I am so lucky to be able to work with this beautiful fabric and to create a wonderful little kitchen nook where my clients will be able to enjoy meals with family and friends. Please check back for an UPDATE in a few weeks!

Why, O Why… Pink as an interior theme?

Pink is a wonderful colour… Hey, it’s currently found in my 2 1/2 year old daughter’s room! BUT.. PINK/PEACH/SALMON seems to be what I see in almost every home I enter that needs some design work! These houses are typically between 15-25 years old and are all plagued with pink/peach/salmon paint, wallpaper, carpet, countertops, tile and plumbing fixtures! In our most recent project: an ensuite renovation in west maple ridge, these colours were definitely well used.

Here are some before photos of the room…

Make sure you pop back in a few weeks to see how we dealt with our “pink problem”. Meanwhile – have fun dreaming up ways to deal with any of your un-loved “pink problems”!
