Client Subtle Statement
Hi everyone! I feel like it’s been a minute since I’ve posted… I’m going to blame my absence on a combination of adding a new family member (oh hey, Arlo Grey!), the start + wrap-up of a few really excited project and - well - 2020. Need I say more?
Speaking of exciting projects wrapping, I am so thrilled to finally share the #clientsubtlestatement with you all! I first starting chatting with this family nearly 2 years ago (wow, even as I type this, that’s crazy to me!)… They knew their current home wasn’t fitting their needs and very thoughtfully and weighed their options carefully before decided to renovate their existing home! I absolutely LOVE the location of the house so I’m so glad they decided to stay (did I mention it’s the closest project to my own home that I’ve ever worked on? 😉). Biases aside, the neighborhood + street really are lovely and with a few changes to their current layout, we were able to make their existing square footage work for them! When I say “we” I mean Lauren Plomske of LP Design - she helped us with all of our architectural drawings as always, she did an amazing job!
Since we didn’t add any additional area, smart storage and millwork solutions went a LONG way on this job. Not only did we upgrade the obvious, like a new + improved kitchen layout, but we added built-in storage + a bench at the entry and what I’m going to coin as the “built in pantry of dreams” complete with custom floor to ceiling white oak doors concealing the perfect combination of rollout drawers + fixed shelves. We also stole a little bit of square footage from the home office to add another bathroom. I’m so happy for the homeowners that they now have their own private ensuite!
These clients were serious troopers - not only did they live in their basement throughout the renovation process of the 2 upper floors - but they survived a reno THROUGH COVID! I’m pictured in my mask below, to prove it, ha! We were fortunate that the project wrapped and we were able to get in and photograph it just before new restrictions came into place. This time when I say “we” I mean Jamie Anholt and myself. I’ve never washed my hands so frequently or brought so much hand sanitizer to a shoot day!
Getting these photos back has been such a great way for me to finish up the work year - when I opened my inbox to see them, I truly felt like Christmas came early! I’m so happy with how everything came together on this one and incredibly glad this sweet family can enjoy their “new + improved” home for the holidays. Thanks for following along and all the support over the year… Given all the extra time we’ve been spending house-bound in 2020, I’m appreciating more and more what an honour it is to play a part in creating a sense of “home” for my clients. I’m very humbled but also hoping that 2021 looks a little different for us all 😉
Wishing you all the happiest, safest + healthiest of holidays! Looking forward to sharing more in the New Year!!

By the time I write this, Atti’s birthday is a few weeks gone by, but I have to say – it’s still pretty surreal to have a 1-year-old!

I have been anticipating this reveal for a LONG time now! Anyone who follows along with me on Instagram probably recognizes the #clientneutralfun stairs; you know, the stairs that appeared on my Stories nearly every time I went on-site, lol… And as beautifully as the stairs turned out, they’re just the “tip of the iceberg!” in this gorgeous renovation…

There’s nothing better than when Instagram friends become real friends, right?! Well, that may be a bit of an overstatement but it undoubtedly IS awesome – especially when you hit it off as well as I did with these sweet clients!

A lot has sure changed around here since my Nursery Reveal + Mat Leave post nearly a month ago… In case you haven’t heard, our beautiful son, Atticus (Atti) James Peters arrived on August 25th, 2018!

Well, here I am at 39 weeks, 4 days pregnant and it is pretty surreal to be here!

Looking back on 2017 and forward to 2018, I have been trying to reflect critically and constructively on what worked, what didn’t, and where I’m feeling an “internal nudge” to shift in priorities to achieve a healthy balance in the present season.

Someone asked me to describe my Christmas decor style the other day and I think for me, the answer is "minimalist traditional". If you're not quite sure what that means, allow me to explain...

Typically, I'm not a huge fan of overly theme-y spaces. I find them overwhelming and they can date themselves very quickly. That being said, we wanted a space for Ben that he would be excited about, and nothing gets him excited like dinosaurs!
