Whenever someone asks about my personal home design preference, I always say craftsman style. I love all the gables, covered front porch and timber posts! How about you, what's your favourite style of house?

Always make sure to hire a great designer that knows the building bylaws for your specific property. That way your house doesn't have to be torn down because it's way past where it's allowed to built.

Meet Sadie!

On Friday we added a furry little addition to the Abbey Road Homes family. She's a 3.5 year old Corgi mix rescued from the China meat trade. Sadie has endured a difficult journey to get home. Once rescued by she was still in China for a while before flying to LA and then bussing to Calgary to the shelter. Despite going through so much, she is such a gentle little lady. Already following me around everywhere I go and getting super excited when I get home. I've wanted a dog my entire life and I'm so glad she chose us to be her forever family.

Tell me about your pet in the comments or if you don't have a pet, what kind of pet you would want.

Design your home specific to your needs.

Homeowner P's priority was with the garage. They have a large fifth wheel RV and wanted to have a covered space to store it. We started the design conversation by discussing the garage and designed the house basically around it.

What's your number 1 priority in a house?

It's been a while...

In case we haven't met before I'm Nicole! Owner and designer behind Abbey Road Homes. I'm a west coast girl still trying to get used to Calgary winters. I'm addicted to tea and cute mugs and I'm okay with that. When I'm not designing houses I can be found designing and creating other things, such as furniture and decor pieces.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! This year has been a strange one thats for sure. This was the first Christmas that my husband and I have not been able to travel to BC to be with our families for the holidays. I'm thankful for technology that still allowed us to video call our loved ones and celebrate even a little bit with them. Most of all I'm thankful for the greatest gift of all, God sending his son to save us from our sins many years ago.

Designers will typically ask you how you want your home to feel. Answers like cozy, warm and inviting are usually said. But a lot of the design is how the space works together. You can have a beautiful house, but if it doesn't work for you the design is useless. A good designer keeps both of these in mind.

This quote makes me think about the show "This Old House" Growing up my dad would watch it every Sunday after church and I would join him a lot. Have you seen the show?
