This is the great room we created for an inner-city living young professional couple with a growing family. They were living only in the front room of the home, and felt very closed off from one another when someone was cooking. Moving the kitchen from one side of the home to the other, and opening up many walls, has made all the difference to the amount of light, living space, and family lifestyle the space accommodates.

Crescent Heights Great Room
This inner-city Calgarian family wanted to create a look that incorporated their love of vintage, modern and texture. This is their only living area, so an oversized comfy leather sofa for the family to curl up on was very important. The reflective funky metallic retro wallpaper pulled everything they owned, and new purchases together to create a very warm and collected small great room in this 425 square foot main floor. We incorporated a ton of budget lighting to create atmosphere, zones and to be used for various functions. We incorporated their wall art, sculptural & glass, and old book collections in this small space.
Bridgeland Condo
This Bridgeland condo was a lot of fun to decorate! Our fashion-savvy, hip new mommy & daddy clients wanted to refresh their space to make room for all the baby stuff in their lives, while keeping it trendy, modern and eclectic – just like them! The colour palette was inspired by the home-owner’s impactful high gloss painting (seen over the fireplace). We were lucky enough to work with Brooke Drader, an amazing furniture re-finisher and antiques expert when reworking our client’s family heirloom 1940’s dining suite and nesting tables into the colour scheme.By installing in a semi-custom floor to ceiling built-in wall unit into the space, we were able to marry the important function of storage and that gallery like aesthetic of colour on white to display our client’s collection of glass artwork.
