Welcome to our Okotoks Custom—where the beauty of the Rocky Mountains meets the warmth of the rolling foothills.

Inspired by its natural surroundings, this new build layers organic textures, timeless materials and comfortable, livable design to create a retreat that feels both elevated and at home in the landscape.

It was such a pleasure bringing this beautiful home to life. Stay tuned—there is so much more to share.

Dolly + this week with mh 🤍✨

1. & 2. Have to believe this icon has earned her angel 🪽. Growing up in central Montana, Dolly was a staple in our house. What an incredible human, philanthropist & talent bringing so much goodness to this earth while she walked it.

3.&4. Spent much of this week at our large scale renovation in Elbow Valley. This property is pure magic & what we have planned for it is even more so. Finalizing our window package with Lux Windows and Doors along side our rear rendering in image 3.

5. Wine date with favorite humans. We renovated Debra & Greg’s home 5 years ago, atop Springbank Hill overlooking the mountains, and it’s still one of my favorite projects. They trusted us and the process and it still looks like the day we handed over the keys. Debra Hurd Greg Hurd

6. Finalized our selections & materials for our Canmore Custom project- a beautiful family’s mountain escape and home away from home 🏔️🌲

7. & 8. Finalized the interior material selections for our mh Veranda Custom alongside the roof going on!

9. Working through our lighting selections with Cartwright Lighting & Furniture for our clients gorg Serenity Villa. Loving the vibe of this home and can’t wait to see it all come together in our upcoming materials meeting! RareBuilt Homes

10. 14 slabs of Dekton Dekton By Cosentino arrived at our Okotoks custom new home build for install by the beyond talented Brent Campbell , the only team I would trust with this project. Our client wanted no grout lines in their forever home so we specified large format slabs for all of our floors and walls—right in line with their minimal Scandinavian design aesthetic.

11. Reviewing drawings with our engineering, contractor and framing teams at our Haysboro renovation project. We are adding an extension onto this home and ironing out all of the details to ensure structural engineering is complete before framing starting this month. Livello Projects

12. Slow evenings, under the fort playing sequence, as hockey and school have resumed. Trying to find some balance in the chaos but ready for some structure this fall after such an amazing summer.

13.-16. Details from Elbow Valley as we teamwork our way through.

Are you considering marble for your build or renovation?? Here is what you need to know…

1. Marble is relatively soft and very porous…etching and potential stains are inevitable but part of the natural patina of the stone. You have to know and accept this if you choose this stunning product.

2. Marble counters should be professionally sealed on installation and likely repeated every 6mo to a year depending on the use of the countertops.

3. Marble comes with an associated expectation of being SUPER expensive….this is not always the case and can greatly depend on the quarry is it mined from.

4. Marble is heat “resistant” making it a good option if your kitchen sees a lot of baking but despite its ability to withstand high temps, you never want to place a piping hot pot on marble (or granite or quartz for that matter!), for risk of discoloring or burning the surface — always use a pot holder.

As designers, it’s our job to educate our clients on the pros and cons of all material choices in their homes to always ensure function and practicality makes sense.

If you want a quick wipe and go kitchen, this product likely isn’t for you but there are alternate options that are equally beautiful without the same level of maintenance.

Save this for your home renovation or build project OR send it to someone who is.

Marble shown here is Arabescato Vagali, 2cm, mitered for thickness and polished.

First, follow mh.Interiors for all of your design tips, tricks and inspo. This is a trial reel, which means you don’t follow us yet, but the algorithm thinks you should!

These may sound slightly unhinged, but they’re things designers consider that most homeowners never think about:

1. Lighting matters more than decor.
Beautiful furniture can’t save a room with bad lighting.

2. Never choose hardware, plumbing + lighting in isolation.
They should speak the same design language, and the metal finishes need to work together.

3. Stop making every room completely different.
Repeating colours, finishes and materials throughout creates a cohesive, intentional home.

4. Leave breathing room.
Not every wall, corner or shelf needs to be filled. Negative space is important lets your eye rest.

5. Buy the rug before the pillows.
The rug anchors the room and creates your colour palette.

6. Hang draperies high + wide, not right above the window.
It makes windows—and the entire room—feel larger.

7. Define your style before falling down the Pinterest rabbit hole.
Saving hundreds of ideas will only create confusion, not clarity.

8. Décor comes last.
Accessories can’t fix poor space planning, incorrect scale or clashing finishes.

9. Don’t make a trend permanent.
Choose pieces that support your overall vision. Your home should still feel like you long after the trend passes.

10. The biggest designer hack? Make fewer decisions—but make them intentionally.
More options don’t always create a better home. Often, they just create more overwhelm & decision fatigue.

Follow us for designer tips that make building and renovating less overwhelming—and much more intentional.

There’s something about choosing to notice the beauty in the everyday — and I think the same can be said for the spaces we live in.

Our Elbow Valley renovation is all about creating a home that feels classic, timeless, and beautiful in a way that will be loved for years to come. Arches, detailed millwork, beautiful stone, warm wood, black accents, and so many thoughtful little moments woven throughout.

Because sometimes happiness really is found in the details — in the spaces we come home to, the people we share them with, and the beauty we choose to notice along the way.

We can’t wait to share so much more of this one. 🤍

Walking through this week with so much gratitude. 🤍

Most weeks are a beautiful blend of work and life, but this one looks a little more like morning work sessions, pool parties post breaky, mini golf by noon, mountain walks, children’s laughter, and evening wine….while listening to the birds sing as the sun goes down over the valley.

Soaking up these last slow moments as a family before the beautiful chaos of school, hockey, schedules, and routines begins again next week.

This is the real-life version of balancing entrepreneurship, doing work I genuinely love, being a parent, and being present for the life happening in between it all.

Somehow, the work, the family time, the laughter, the deadlines, the mess, the quiet moments and the beautiful chaos all weave together into a life I’m incredibly grateful to call mine. This week, I’m just trying to slow down long enough to notice it. 🤍

4 MILLION of you loved this original series… so we’re bringing it back for another round. 🙌 & if you’re seeing this as a trial reel, hi! 👋🏼 That means you don’t follow us yet, but the algorithm thinks design is your jam too. Hit follow for more design inspo, tips + tricks from 15+ years in the industry.

Here are 7 furniture + styling rules and measurements I use in almost every home:

1. COFFEE TABLES
Keep 16–18” between your sofa + coffee table. Height should be level with your sofa seat or 1–2” lower.

2. RUGS
At minimum, front legs on the rug. Ideally, all legs for a more grounded look. And yes — a rug pad is non-negotiable.

3. ARTWORK
Aim for the centre at 57–60” AFF — roughly eye level. Most people hang art wayyyy too high. Please don’t. 🙏🏼

4. CONSOLE TABLES
Keep a console within 2–4” of your sofa-back height — never higher than the sofa.

5. KITCHEN + DINING LIGHTING
Pendants + chandeliers generally hang 30–36” above your counter or tabletop, depending on fixture scale.

6. DINING ROOM SPACING
Allow 30–36” around your dining table. Your rug should extend 30–36” beyond it so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.

7. SHELVES + BUILT-INS
Think odd-numbered groupings — usually 3 or 5. Layer heights + materials, add something personal, and leave 20–30% negative space.

Good design isn’t just about beautiful things — it’s scale, proportion + spacing that make a room feel intentional.

Save this for your next project + send it to the friend who keeps hanging their artwork too high. 😉 Specific questions? Fire away.

4 MILLION of you loved this original series…so we’re bringing it back for another round.

After 15+ years in interior design, these are 7 furniture + styling rules and measurements I use in almost every home. Hopefully they can help you too!

Save this one for later or send to a friend who needs it!

1. COFFEE TABLES
Keep 16–18” between your sofa and coffee table. For height, aim for level with your sofa seat or 1–2” lower.

2. RUGS
At minimum, the front legs of your furniture should sit on the rug. Ideally, all legs do for a more grounded, intentional look.
And yes — a rug pad is non-negotiable.

3. ARTWORK
Aim for the centre of your artwork to land 57–60” AFF — roughly eye level.
Most people hang their art wayyyy too high. Please don’t. 🙏🏼

4. CONSOLE TABLES
A console behind your sofa should sit within 2–4” of the sofa-back height — and never higher than the back of the sofa.

5. KITCHEN + DINING LIGHTING
Pendants and chandeliers should generally hang 30–36” above your counter or tabletop, depending on the scale of the fixture.

6. DINING ROOM SPACING
Allow at least 30–36” between your dining table and surrounding walls or furniture.
Your rug should extend 30–36” beyond the table so your chairs stay on the rug — even when they’re pulled out.

7. SHELVES + BUILT-INS
Think odd-numbered groupings — usually 3 or 5. Layer larger pieces behind smaller ones, mix materials and finishes, incorporate something personal, and leave 20–30% negative space.

Because good design isn’t just about choosing beautiful things. It’s about scale, proportion, spacing, and knowing where everything should live. These little details are what make a room feel balanced, layered, and intentionally designed.

Save this for your next furniture or styling project — and send it to the friend who keeps hanging their artwork too high. 😉
