I read a book years ago called, "Why We Buy." It was about the physiology of consumerism and very interesting.

Did you know that customers are willing to pay more for the exact same product (same brand) if it's presented in a more pleasant experience?

Merchandising, it's an art. We want to highlight the products and not overwhelm the customer. Less is more.

Back in the day a staple piece of furniture in a Newfoundland home was a daybed. Because the kitchen was the central part of the home that's where you'd find the daybed. Most of these homes had one source of heat and that was from the wood stove in the kitchen so it would make sense that this is where a versatile piece of furniture would live.

So when we designed this space we built in a daybed next to the new wood stove not only for a functional extra sleeping space for guests but also as a nod to days gone past.

Did someone say vacation? I love hospitality design because we get to create an experience and have a lot of fun. I love creating a timeless interior that has nothing to do with trends.

This house was built the year Newfoundland joined Canada so the house was all the inspiration that we needed. The house itself was the client, the house dictated the design rather than the home owner. And, I so enjoyed the process.

I think we could all use some colour in our lives on this very gray, rainy day here in Calgary.

Did you know that colour affects our mood and can even affect our behavior? I personally love being surrounded by colour, it's an instant mood enhancer for me.

This client loves colour and had already had his walls painted this bright blue that he adored so we went with that bringing in more saturated blues and hot pinks to complete the look.
