The Friday Five 🤍
Another week has come and gone, and it’s time for a few moments from behind-the-scenes at Birchview Design:
1. Site visits always serve as a reminder to just how exciting this phase can be. Construction at Grace Cottage is moving along beautifully, and we spent some time capturing the rhythm of life on site - collaborating with our incredible trades and documenting the thoughtful additions that continue to elevate the design. It’s where vision meets ex*****on, and it never gets old 🛠️
2. Framing has officially begun on the custom sauna within the gym, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see this unique feature take shape. Designed as a restorative retreat, this space will offer our clients a true sense of escape - an everyday luxury rooted in intentional design ✨
3. Deliveries arriving at our warehouse never fail to spark inspiration, and this week’s standout is a stunning seagull wallpaper that has completely captured our hearts. Playful yet refined, it’s a perfect nod to lakeside living - we’re counting down the days until installation 🕊️
4. Exterior progress at Grace Cottage continues to transform the property. With the previous posts + deck removed, we’re moving toward a newly engineered deck and a thoughtfully designed outdoor kitchen. Every decision is centred around enhancing those breathtaking lakeside views and creating spaces that invite connection outdoors 🌅
5. We loved spending time at the Cottage Life Show this week - connecting with industry peers, discovering new products, and gathering inspiration for the seasons ahead. It’s always energizing to be surrounded by so much creativity, and we’re already looking forward to what the 2026 cottage season will bring 🏡
Wishing you a restful and inspiring long weekend ahead - thank you, as always, for being here with us! The firm will be back to business on Tuesday 🤍
