It's been a month and a lot has been going on, here is a peek.
First, the best part, Maui with my boys. We enjoyed amazing family time and had a bast, the weather could have been better but at the end of the day it was about spending quality time together and that is just what this holiday was all about.
Watermark is getting wrapped up, we are doing a pre-occupancy shoot this coming Tuesday (those will be coming to you soon) and the clients are taking possession of the home early next week. This is one home where I have agreed to help the clients with all interior selections, furnishings, decor, all that jazz. Honestly, this is something I despise doing, it is just not my thing. Pick out tiles, paint colors, design a floor plan or cabinets, no problem...but look at fabrics and come up with furniture layouts = I wanna poke out my eyeballs. BUT I have become great friends with these clients and they have pretty much let me have my run with this home so far (they even named it after me, ha) so why not finish it off.
We also have 4 other homes that are all at framing or rough-in stages. Most of the selections and mill-work drawings are complete for these homes but there is still some fine tuning to do. I will say, there are going to be some amazing things heading your way from us come spring & summer!!
Drawings are wrapped up for a new single unit (up above) we are constructing inner-city. AMAZING deigns, seriously, I took my sweet time with this, tweaked it till it couldn't be tweaked any more and the floor plan is just simply AWESOME. Clean, bright, cozy, and mill-work details galore! You will love it, our finishers on the other hand may want to roll their eyes at me...looks like I might be baking a lot of cookies in the near future!

Oh my! First that fireplace.... Blew my mind! Love it. And you gave me hope! I have said the same thing... Almost verbatim, about choosing the finishes like tile paint, floor plan, cabinets... And I would rather gouge my eyeballs out then pick your little accent pieces to fill a shelf! I was starting to lose hope that it was possible to just design the fun stuff! Love your work! Thanks for inspiring!
You have the most beautiful family! I am so glad you had a great time. And I WANT that house! I love that wallpaper in the bathroom. Congrats on the nomination. So well deserved! Happy weekend!
I love that you take time for your family while creating gorgeous spaces. No doubt time off does so much good to recharge for your energy to do all you do.

Beautiful home! I feel the same way about decorating. The decor can be so tedious. I love putting in new floors, wainscoting, fixtures, etc. I suppose that's why I jump from room to room and go really slow finishing it.
It looks lovely(: yet not my thing...i went to see watermark homes in bearspa calgary and generally speaking, it is very calgary and the lightness and elegance is always missing a bit. I mean usually the fireplace is not attractive and you never see any marble or full stone ones... Just some modern versions and every house is almost identical.... In features and build ins are the same in the whole house ... No special elements... I am a bit surprised but it must be what calgarians want(: or builders are playing it safe? Either waybibsee you do a high quality work and I am not disputing that... I woul just love to see something different than the same old same old in this town...
And you and your family look lovely!
