Thank you, CK ☺️

For the 4th year running we have captured Platinum in all of our main categories, and we could NOT be more grateful.

We started this business in 2019 and have already navigated our way through shutdowns, my spinal surgery, trade wars, shipping and freight challenges, and a crazy surge in home and design pricing.

In spite of all of that, to know that we're still seen by you as the best in the area is extremely special.

I told Kyle while reading on a beach in Mexico in March of 2019 that I wanted to do this. Just a few weeks after returning home, we had our lease on our Studio space, our business license, and contractor work under way on our little space in Tilbury.

Now we have:

- Our Interior Design and Decorating team (thank you for Platinum!)
- Our in-house bespoke cabinetry line (thank you for Platinum!)
- Our furniture line (thank you for Platinum!)
- Our window treatments line (thank you for Gold!)

And there's more to come this Fall when we launch our MADE IN ONTARIO furniture line!

To say that we are blessed would be an understatement.

Thank you for your continued trust ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Much love,
Heather, Kyle, Kiery + Lil

If you want your space to feel more elevated, it’s not always about big renovations.

Here are three things I look for in every room that'll instantly change how expensive it feels:

First: Scale
Fewer, larger pieces will always look more intentional than lots of small ones. It’s about presence, not clutter.

Second: Lighting
Layer it. Use a mix of floor lamps, sconces, and table lamps so you’re not relying on a single overhead fixture or rows of harsh pot lights.

And third: Styling
Books, trays, greenery, even collected art are the details that make a space feel personal and curated, not staged.

You don’t need more stuff. You need more intention.

Design lives in the details, not just the big-ticket items.

So, if your home doesn’t feel quite finished, try adjusting these three layers. You’ll be surprised how quickly the space transforms 😉

Not everything in your home is worth splurging on - but some things *absolutely* are.

The pieces you interact with on a daily basis have the biggest impact on how your home looks, feels, and functions.

Investing in quality pieces where it matters means you’ll enjoy your home longer, replace things less often, and create spaces in your home that stand the test of time.

Great design isn’t about spending more - it’s about spending intentionally.

What’s that one piece in your home that you’ve invested in and still love? Let us know in the comments 👇

Open shelving can be beautiful, or it can look like a kitchen supply closet. The difference? It’s all in how it’s styled.

Start by taking everything off your shelves. Then only put back the pieces you love looking at.

Keep your everyday dishes in closed storage so the shelves feel intentional, not crammed.

Next, group things by colour, material, or theme. This creates visual calm, even if the items are different.

Play with shape and height: A stack of bowls beside a tall vase, or a cutting board layered behind a fruit bowl. This adds rhythm and movement.

And finally, leave some space. Negative space is what makes a shelf feel curated, not cluttered.

If you want your open shelves to look designer, don’t treat them like storage. Treat them like a beautiful little shop window.

Edit with love. Style with intention. And let your shelves tell a story worth seeing.

Open shelves shouldn’t stress you out. Keep what you love, group with intention, and give everything room to breathe - the rest will follow.
