Being a designer can be a bit of an isolated career. Shifting from client to client, contractor to contractor, adjusting expectations and methods as you go, but often on your own.
But this career also has some wonderful perks, when you get to connect with other designers. Like minded peeps that can empathize with the highs and lows of solopreneurship.
Sprinkle in some off-hour fun like golf, a little front yard gymnastics with my 5-year old neighbour, and some dinners with fellow designers, and life is far more full.

Adding a shower and toilet in this basement where none existed before, and not having the city plumbing stack cooperate, (it’s above the lowest point of the foundation) means adding a macerator in the basement prior to pouring a new concrete floor. These things require a massive hole, deep enough to bury….well, you get it.

After a hiatus from social media for the last few months, it feels appropriate to post on this 23-hour long International Women’s Day (read what you want into that one. Yeesh)
Take time to celebrate your wins, search out the little moments that give you a bit of joy every day, let go of what doesn’t work for you anymore, cling to what does, hug a friend, eye roll at the news and hope it’s all over soon, play a game, eat the dessert, take the vacation, say no when something doesn’t work for you, and above all else, have fun.
I am surrounded by so many inspiring, intelligent, badass women, I can’t help but draw energy from them and celebrate them all, every damn day!
Be good to yourselves.

The weather seemed to realize I was in dire need of a water day. So it delivered a glorious, perfect weekend.
When you see the wind surfers, it’s not a great day for the stand up paddle boarders (like me!) and the wind surfers had a fantastic season with the wind this year summer! I did not. But this October weekend? This was all mine.

Ya ya, wallet, agenda, notepad, snack, occasionally a water bottle or laptop….and then a handful of allen keys, couple of cellular shade adjusters, a random drapery just in case I come across a rogue pleat, hex head screw, magnetized hex head drill bit, teeny tiny screwdrivers (even a teensy multi-bit one), 25 foot tape measure, couple of heavy duty sharpies and my Bosch laser measurer. Duh. What’s in yours?

Sometimes life gets a little hectic, a little overwhelming, and you just want to bust something up.
So I grabbed my drywall saw, made my way to my client’s empty condo, and started carving out holes in the drywall to see what was behind the walls.
Plans are almost complete for this condo, but sometimes you open the walls and think “oh, s**t! THAT wasn’t on my radar!”
So now, I have fewer surprises when demo starts, and I have a new way of meditating.
Who needs a yoga mat when you have a drywall saw??
Video coming shortly!

I love this cute, strong little cat, keeping me company and holding up my pen as I work. The third one reflects my sentiment after hella long days.

Just a sneak peek at the kitchen….wood counter will be installed on the island in Spring of 2024….one of the many challenges of this project, aside from the logistics in transporting materials, has been the hard deadline on completing work before the island closes for the winter.
The wood countertop supplier felt it would yield a more successful outcome to acclimate the countertop in his unheated warehouse for the winter, before installing, so we agreed. And now I have to be satisfied with this unfinished kitchen until 2024, which feels so weird to say out loud!! 2024?!?!
