Remarkable Interiors has kept me really busy over the past 12 almost 13 years. Whoa. In that time I have grown the business, stretched myself in this design world and really honed into what I love to do and also what doesn't float my boat ( Island girl!) It's a process and one that is fluid. I like that. No boxes to fit into ...this or that... but rather trial and error and an acceptance of all!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love to write. I should say I love to write casually...as in casual tone. I was not an English major. I started the old blog Room Candy as a way to talk about the non glamorous and picture perfect things that were happening in my design community ( hands up community projects as an example) along with some DIY that wasn't all that great, and also of course trends and projects. But mostly an outlet to connect directly in that comfy way...nothing formal just ideas and some fun. And then...we got busy...really busy! And that's the good news!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The consequence of that was no writing </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
no Room Candy.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well now I have made the intention to get back at it. Balance the work /life/phone in hand model ...less of the first and last and more of the life part. It is a focused effort and one that I know we all struggle with . Life is hard, and busy and worth every tear. ( coffee, wine ...see below) </div>

The Modern Cottage blog is again a place where I can just hang out. It may not always be perfect...OK it will never be perfect! But I hope it will be authentic . Real life interiors , home decor, interior styling and real estate staging. Hopefully some more house flipping along the way too. If its inspiring and then I have succeeded with my intention...if its not well then you can come here and read some swear words and maybe a little about my thing for coffee and wine and my little lake cabin. All the cute dog love too. Those are what really make me, me! Over at <a href="https://www.remarkableinteriors.ca/">Remarkable Interiors</a> (new look website coming very soon Oh My! and its <span style="color: #f4cccc;">BLUSH</span> yay!!!) </div>

</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our No.1 question from clients when we first meet is "Why can't I get my space to look finished?" </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> (inquiry just this am with this exact question!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And our answer is always the same. Completing a room/home/space requires not only furniture that fits in terms of scale colour style but more importantly it requires the detailed layers of accessories art and decor to pull it all together and "feel" right. ( and done!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Final styling is the most important piece of the puzzle!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Its not about styling secrets...we aren't magic - although we like to believe when that's the word used lol ๐. But there are some definite styling constants that always work so keep them in mind when finishing a space or changing it up! Look to magazines and online decor sources for inspiration and what speaks to you and then copy the look with your collected bits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Create and complete YOUR story</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's your home. Find what inspires you ( trust that!) and sprinkle throughout. The story of you and and the people living there . We always think a space should fit like a favourite pair of shoes. Looks like a million dollars and tells us who you are! If its forced and "not you" that comes across in the feeling of a space. I always relay the day we looked at our current home. When I was standing at the front door looking into the space for the first time I knew...right then it was a home that reflected and felt like <i>me</i>.๐</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lovely texture on walls, floors, surfaces! Layer neutral textures everywhere. This is again why sometimes places feel so good. Texture gives a sense of cozy and warm. Books are a great way to add texture. I LOVE old books for that reason- old and weathered with a story (literally and figuratively!) to tell.</span><br />

Faux is fab for black thumbs ( or travellers or just plain busy people) Such great bits out there now! Tuck greenery into pots on a bookshelf, coffee table, kitchen counter, bedside table. Every space you live in needs a hit of fresh!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pillows and throws and pouffs are a great way to add the final layers on your seating areas and of course on the bed. (groan from the men folk!!) carry your colour scheme into the pillows and add another one for some fun and interest! We always suggest feather inserts in throw pillows - they don't flatten like poly inserts and can be fluffed easily! Its amazing how changing up the pillows can change the look of a room instantly! Try it! Small investment big reward.</span><br />

Whats on Trend?<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes another New Year (cheers๐!) and another round of โTrendsโ. Lots to sift through in the home decor world these days! Many say conflicting things!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So... where do you go for the real goods?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you ๐ it then that is pretty much all you need !</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Really! Itโs your home, you live there and if you love a certain look colour style then go for it! How to pull that all together is another whole thing and that's maybe where you look for help - magazines, inspiration pics (<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> <a href="http://www.houzz.com/">Houzz</a>) , call a friend with a good eye, call in a professional. We do A LOT of styling with only what homeowners currently have. It's amazing what a little shifting, editing and styling can do. <br /><br />If you want a refresh but limited on time and budget (most of us!) There are simple quick ways to refresh and feel like you are up to date with your space.<br /><br />I just read an article where designer Kristi Margiotta called it the "3 Pโs of Decorating</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Paint</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pillows</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Plants </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love this because its totally true- if you do 1 or all 3 of these you can create a fresh new look in a room fast and inexpensively.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Paint </b>is still our number 1 go to for quick refresh! And its relatively inexpensive - especially if you can DIY - plus a HUGE transformation if the walls haven't been updated for years! Calm fresh colours that flow through out the entire house always work.Pick only one or 2! Add some drama with colour in personal spaces - master bedroom dining area or office. (wallpaper is also a great Drama add-on in these rooms- that's a whole other post !!) </span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So guys, <b>pillows</b> are really a girls best friend! An added step to uncover the bed or sofa is just your new fact of life ๐ But really, just the simple step of changing up the pillows in a room can create a whole new look. The key is pulling together solids and patterns with texture and colour! Don't be afraid to mix and match!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Plants</b>โฆ I have a black thumb so everything green in my home is not real ( faux- cringe- not the trailing dusty ivy!!) If you can, live greenery is awesome, if contained and simplified. If that's not an option there are TONS of really great modern faux greens to work with.(locally- <a href="http://www.chintz.com/">Chintz</a> <a href="http://www.pier1.ca/">Pier 1</a> <a href="http://www.homesense.ca/">Homesense</a>) We ALWAYS use greenery in our end styling and that is what finishes a room. The Fiddle Leaf fig is definitely trendy but a really really great tree! Grasses and succulents always add softness but still that bit of green life we need in a space.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Boho</b> and <b>Jungalo</b> are another blast from the past! I made Macrame plant hangers by the dozen at summer camp! Again these are back on trend but the key is to not go so far that it feels cluttered and busy. This is big with the millennials! (my daughters follow tons of instagrammers that have a great design aesthetic which I think is pretty cool from a design mom thing!) This is where plants rule and texture is Queen. Jute , pattern, greenery and coloured accentsโฆthis all works especially when on a simple backdrop of white.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Classic</b> elegance will never go out of style. Seeing updates with this is terms of finishes metals -especially gold is here to stay, just that they are softer- brushed and burnished). Some say the white kitchen is outโฆI disagree. A white kitchen makes my heart beat faster! Keeping it warmer with wood accents and textures is how it can stay fresh. Again here is when - if you love it, then it will work - is so true! Flooring is going lighter and I love this. Time and maintenance saver. Lots of different flooring choices now- in millions of shades and textures and price points.</span><br />

Elegant Coastal Living /Dining Makeover.<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We recently finished a living room and dining room makeover for our lovely client who was feeling it was really time for a change. She said she hadn't had anything new or updated since she was married 23 years ago. We get it! Family, school sports, work, ... life... it takes up so much of our time we can forget how it feels to step back and take a break. We think she not only needed a change but also so deserved to have a space that makes her feel completely comfortable and happy. A place to relax and unwind but also to entertain!</span><span id="goog_1745218399"></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is where we started. Mostly what wasn't working was the layout, and that's because the furniture didn't really fit the room- because it all came from another house! We see this all the time. The scale of the furniture really needs to fit the scale and layout of the space.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So many requests for the before and afters of our TLC House flip here in Victoria. 4 month process from purchase to <b>SOLD!</b> Lots of brain churning sleepless nights planning/thinking/budgeting but surprisingly not too much stress. Great business partner Leslie ( Thank you!) - great team of sub contractors - great property...just needed some love and some sweat and lots of patience!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We tried to salvage as much as we could from 1962:) The oak floors came up beautifully with new sand and finish. Thumbs down to those ( a few!) who said we should rip it all out !! Layout stayed the same we just opened it all upon the main living and created 2 bedrooms and a small family room/den in the basement. 5 bedrooms! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">New windows and gutters, gas furnace, hot water tank & 200 amp service. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just about everything was upgraded! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It still fits the neighbourhood and that made our neighbours happy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(not a photographer!) </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.remarkableinteriors.ca/" target="_blank">Staging</a> really helped show off the positives! We had multiple offers ...it presented very well and so many people came through the open house!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's a very long over due look at the progress on our TLC House renovation. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The good news is we are pretty much on schedule ( even with the holidays thrown in there!) and according to the banker ( L not T ) pretty close to on budget. I know I'll get told <u>very</u> quickly when we are NO LONGER on budget </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">so that keeps me a little scared and very thrifty! The sign of a good partner !</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The bad news, well there really isn't any bad news! There is just sometimes not a lot to see when its a lot of "guts" work . It can be slow going. Many many ( many! ) trips later - they just say "Hey Ladies " at <a href="http://www.homedepot.ca/" target="_blank">Home Depot</a> and <a href="http://www.rona.ca/" target="_blank">Rona</a> ! The fun really begins now with the finishing and we get to see all of the planning really start to take shape.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have replaced all the electrical with a full new service. All new windows. The plumbing is all updated and we have a new gas furnace ( replacing oil ) and all new ducting ! Whew! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have boxed in a gas fireplace into its new location (not in the middle of the living room).

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The whole house was touched with new drywall of some sort. Full boarding in basement and patching and skimming in the main part of the house. With a property of this age decisions have to be made regarding wall and ceiling textures. We had no less than 3 styles of texturing going on. Now<u> fully </u>understanding the value of our friends in the drywall business! First coats of primer and paint is on exterior and interior. (with much more to go) New front and basement doors are installed along with all new interior doors and trim. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week we are having the kitchen floor installed and feathered into the original oak hardwood. Once installed we can then sand and stain and finish the flooring in the entire main and upper floors.This will be a big day when its done. We had a lot of pressure to rip out the old hardwood but we really wanted to keep it . </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Its original and in good enough shape to refinish . I think it will be beautiful!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Vancouver Island design community lost a bright light this past weekend. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are just not enough words to truly describe <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SusanHargravesResidentialStylist" target="_blank">Susan Hargraves </a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and encompass the amazing woman she was. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few that come to mind ~ mentor, teacher, brilliant designer, talented stager, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> supportive colleague, fashion maven with impeccable style</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and most importantly above all, a wonderful friend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Class elegance and charm.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Susan held my hand through the early stages of my business. She openly shared her expertise and her experiences. By sharing , I mean not just stories and ideas but real tangible things like a business plan and contracts . Things that many are just not willing to share . She pushed me to think not only about design but about the business of design.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is the Susan I am so privileged to have known. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She was a champion of women in business. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She wanted us all to succeed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stacey and I were fortunate enough to work side by side with Susan on many local Victoria projects. She loved the design planning and project management and called upon us often for the end styling. When she and Jim moved to Cedar we were lucky enough to road trip there for a day - adding some fresh design eyes for her gorgeous country cottage home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Susan's <a href="http://www.roomsthatwork.ca/" target="_blank">"Rooms That Work"</a> always did work and much much more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are just a few of the projects we worked on together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So very grateful and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">happy to celebrate her work.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Working hard on the TLC House! This is the time in a renovation when it seem like lots is happening but not much change to see...messier, dirtier, uglier. </span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I always say it has to get way worse before it can be better!</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are getting down to the end of demo. (<a href="http://roomcandy101.blogspot.ca/2015/10/hey-hgtv-demo-day-isnt-day.html" target="_blank">reiterating last post.</a>..demo day...not just a day!!) Kitchen is out entirely as is main bathroom. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Big thing that happened this week is the fireplace removal! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided instead of working around the awkward centre of room structure we are just going to tear it down and create a wall focal point with a new gas insert. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now thats a really big hole in the floor.... and we will have to deal with a support post or 2! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wall framing coming out soon around this. Open concept...hello!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A sidebar on this - <a href="http://www.remarkableinteriors.ca/" target="_blank">Stacey and I </a>were at a client consult a while back and we asked as always what the client likes /dislikes /is inspired by etc. She answered "...Its not as much what I want and like but really more about <b><i>'What does the house want?'</i></b> ..." We laughed because it does sound abit corny new-agey but it is kind of true.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is no right or wrong ( ok maybe some <u>small </u>wrongs turns!) to what you like in terms of design but you really must identify for yourself how you live in a space and what the structure <b><i>IS</i></b> in order to make it work. An example - we finished a full house reno awhile back. A typical west coast style home that our client wanted to makeover into a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"New York Loft" feel. It is stunning but you know what...when they finally moved in and spent some time it was mentioned they are regretting alittle not thinking through "what the house wants..." I guess although it look s amazing it just doesn't feel 100% right for the house and location. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">( I think they will come around though ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is an extreme example but really good to consider everything when taking on a reno.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the TLC house we have to figure out <u>who</u> will buy this property and <u>how</u> they may live in it and that will determine a big part of the design. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hammer Time! Demo begins....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We took possession of our TLC flip 2 weeks ago. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Progress is being made...slowly but surely.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plans coming together, permits applied for, yard repairs started and trades lined up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If anyone tells you this is easy....LIARS! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This planning and demo time is probably the hardest part of the whole process- besides sweating the sale on the other side :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leslie and I decided right up front that we were going to tackle the demo to the point where our "boots on the ground " trades could come in and really have a clean slate to start work with. There is a point however where you need to go </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Is this worth a broken back/arm/head/eyes/ears...?" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and more fitting for us, the question </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Do we really have any idea what we are doing?!!"</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When in doubt bring in professionals!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's some pics of where we started </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and where we are after week 2:</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our <a href="http://www.resavi.ca/">RESA Vancouver Island</a> ( Real Estate Staging Association) group connected with The <a href="http://www.cridge.org/">Cridge Centre for the Family</a> this year. With our 3rd annual Hands Up! project we were once again looking for a way to give back using the abundant array of resources, local
connections and the plethora of talent from our group of designing women in
Victoria. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Cridge Center for the Family has been serving Victoria since 1873, the oldest continuously operating charity in Western Canada. The Cridge Transition House for Women provides safety for women and their children who are escaping violent or abusive relationships. These women are fleeing sometimes with only the clothes on their back. The house gives shelter and support for up to 30 days, along with counselling, information, advocacy ,connections to community supports, and outreach services. Every woman and every child deserves safety and shelter.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The house is old ( 101 years old in fact!) with great character but like so many
social service houses, there is always a dire need for upgrades, maintenance
and supplies. Sometimes non essentials that make a house feel like home get
pushed to the bottom or off the list completely due to budget constraints and
cut backs. The Cridge provided a wish list of some items and updates that would
really help with the comfort of the house and in turn help these women feel
safe and secure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We connected with <a href="http://www.iscu.com/">Island Savings Credit Union </a>and with their amazing cash donation through their GIFT program we were off to the races. We <3 ISCU!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trades donations were secured along with paint and painters, landscapers, all new lighting, electricians, fabric for drapes...this list goes on and on! Even dinner for the house on installation day.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Corner fireplaces are hard to work with.

If the fireplace has to stay </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> put (which was the case here) then at least it needs to shine as the focal point </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This 4 bedroom townhouse desperately needed an overhaul. The rooms were bursting with clutter, there was little storage and the furniture layout in each room was very poor, making for very confined spaces! Room by room I </span>tackled the trouble spots only purchasing a few key storage and small decor items.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But on the positive the kitchen layout was working so rather than tear down walls </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(and possibly find scary problems) we kept the same footprint . That way the flooring which was fairly new could also stay as is. The new appliances also stayed in place.</span></div>

<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do a full and thorough walk through of the property to identify what the positives are that can be showcased and more importantly what deficiencies need to be addressed. This can range from decluttering advice, curb appeal, simple decor and aesthetics, paint and repairs, and to larger scale upgrades that will bring the property up to par .</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Refer and manage qualified trades to get the required repair work done.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Work <i><b>with</b> </i>the Realtor to meet listing deadlines allowing them to focus on the task at hand : SELLING YOUR PROPERTY !</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Work hands-on in occupied properties to make sure furniture layout is functioning but also looking great. This includes styling of accessories and art. So vital for great MLS photos and so often overlooked! (we all have seen tragic marketing photos...WHY?!)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bring in lease furniture, art and accessories to stage vacant properties. Ever felt the cold echo of a vacant space?....not a good selling feature! Buyers need direction on how a property can work for them. Creating a warm and inviting "idea" makes your place the one they remember.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A home stager has the experience and creative know how to get any property ready for market. The price tag for this ? Always always always less than a price reduction ! A staged home will show better in media and in person and generally will sell faster and for a higher price. Why? Because you have done the homework to prepare it!!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get out your hot glue gun and write a word name or phrase on your choice of jar or bottle.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the glue is hard paint the entire piece with a flat paint...acrylic craft would be best </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but I bet a flat spray paint would work too.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Love throwing in some old and worn and mixing it with your new bits? ME TOO!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's Friday...DIY time!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seeing tons of cool ideas on what one can do with an old suitcase. The best part - beside the absolute coolness- is the STORAGE! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's hidden unexpected storage in the form of a funky case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I, of course, lean towards the cool coastal feel and would spray the heck out of them all ... in white . ( so sorry to all that are gasping right now....) </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But you do not have to paint, in fact the they come in such great colours , </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">most are ready to go as is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Find them at thrift stores, collectible places, flea markets and Grammas attic!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here a few to get your weekend DIY juices flowing :</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b></b>Dressing up your mantel!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the holidays is a good time to refresh! Like with fashion and jewellery, its usually the simple looks that get a double take. And of course in some cases the</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> outrageous will turn a head or two.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before you start we suggest:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pick your style with things that you love....they will be front and center in your room so you had better love each piece! Address the detail and style of the mantel itself.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose with scale in mind. 1 or 2 large pieces have greater impact than a ton of tiny bits.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Change it up! No one says it has to stay there for 40 years (...ancient clock on the mantel in my childhood home ...yep! still there- moved x3 houses but always front and centre over fireplace!)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think outside! Bring some organic in...showcase some nature...twigs, driftwood, berries always pair beautifully with glass and simple art or a stunning mirror.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's some ideas I love (and will try) and some mantels we have styled for clients.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soft and unified ... mirrors always work :)</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yep...Its time...decorating for the holidays! Love or hate it , gotta be done to some degree :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Tree ....... Centrepiece of the Holidays</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What does your tree look like? Does it have a theme? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A colour? Traditional or contemporary ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the million dollar question...if YOU ( not the family lol ) could pick a tree style or theme..what would it be? Or maybe its what you already have .</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> New paint helped transform this nice, tidy - but alittle bit dreary - formal room into a bright and pulled together space for book club and other social events! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using most of what our clients already had</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">we redesigned the layout added in a few pieces of art & accessories ... bam! fresh new look.</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before... wall and accent colours really were not doing much for the room</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After... changing up the colour freshens up the whole space.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The new blue accent pillows and throw make it comfortable and inviting.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most common thing we hear from our design clients "its just not working!" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the goods on how to go from Drab to Fab in a few hours without leaving home or spending a dime. ( yes real life living...not show homes!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. On your next day off pick a single room... a great starting point and won't overwhelm!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Shop your home/garage/shed/storage space</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You have stuff...we all have stuff!! Look around...don't get hung up on matching things or colour and all that blah blah blah. Just decide if you love it or not. If not give it away or sell it. Be Ruthless! Imagine someone like me watching you sort...what would I say ? :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will find treasures I guarantee it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now imagine those loved pieces used in another way or even another room. (see #4)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have piles of stuff now is the time to clear...take a day and work on it, moving quickly </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that there is room maybe that funky console would look better in the entry or paired with your beloved art piece and retro lamp? Wow nice that you can see it clearly now without homework/keys/6 months of unread HGTV magazines covering it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Try a new layout...angle the sofa , pair up a couple of chairs for a new conversation area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can you hear us asking "Are the pieces the right scale for the room?" Layer some complementary cushions and favourite bits until you get the right combination. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep moving- adding and deleting until its right!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lighting has a HUGE impact on how your home looks and feels. If your are like me walking into a lighting store gives me an instant headache and a sore neck (look up...waaay up! ) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- overwhelmed we tend to ignore our lighting needs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With so many options which is right for your space and your budget?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The right combination of overhead and eye level lighting is key. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ceiling light alone will make the space feel a bit institutional - like, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and can cast unflattering shadows.(none of us need that!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Layered lighting casts light pools giving a soft warm effect. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course common sense dictates where you need focused task lighting...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">bathroom or kitchen work areas ( sconces, pendants or spot lights), </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">reading lights in office or family room. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The right bulb makes a difference too. <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/">LED</a>s are extremely energy efficient and will lead to lower power bills and less frequent bulb changing. They are very long lasting, shatter resistant, cool to the touch, and cost effective. The on-trend Edison style bulbs look great in retro, vintage and industrial fixtures. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>DIMMERS IN EVERY ROOM</b> I say! A great small investment with enormous return. Controlling the amount of light required is such a bonus and instantly can add warm ambiance to your space when you want it and brighter light when you need it.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Found a great lamp base ( maybe a thrift store treasure) but ugly outdated shade? ...change it up! Many retailers now sell shades in sizes and colours to match your decor. Floor lamps are great bedside light alternatives...perfect for reading and a change from typical matching table lamps. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Table lamps provide added style, task and ambient lighting for almost every room. They are perfect on a desk, end table and entry table. <a href="http://www.homesense.ca/">Homesense </a>has tons of fun table lamps for very little $$! like this rope lamp below we used in a cottage design.</span></span></div>
