Grapevine goings-on

The house is coming along very quickly.....  more on that later - stay tuned! (the picture below is NOT my house).  I need to wait for some warmer and dryer weather to brave the jobsite, and the mud to take some new pictures for you to see.  Also to come:  My appliance package!  So excited to tell you about that.  Also some inspiration pictures.

We have two big projects we are working on right now - among other things.  But I thought I would give you a sneak peak of the before pictures:

This brave couple loves their home and their North Vancouver neighborhood.  They love it enough to add a third floor to their home!  What a process it had been...  They have 2 small children at home, lots of banging, inconveniences, not to mention lots of water in their main living area!  But I think they are through the worst of it, and on to the fun stuff.  Pretty chandeliers... faucets....maybe wallpaper and furniture too!



The next project is a complete main floor reno.   Here is a peak at the old kitchen....  on to bigger and better things!  I can't wait to show you the outcome!



One of my favorite suppliers who offer quality upholstered furniture at great prices (if you get it through me:), have added some very interesting pieces to their collection.  I am very excited about it!  Have a look:

This same bed is available in many stores downtown for 3x what I can offer it for.



Although this isn't my favorite design (below), this is Carrie Bradshaw's bedroom on Sex and the City.  It is very similar to the Bento bed above.  The great thing about the Bento from Stylus is that you can customize it with a nail head detail and whatever fabric you choose.  The price for the Bento starts at $847.50 for a queen!

A couple more new pieces offered through Stylus:

Its too bad they had such large pillows covering up these great sofas.

We had a little scare last week...  My client Lil fell through the main floor of her house and into the basement!  Many of you may have heard the story on facebook.  She has angels all around her protecting her.  One of those angels was a contractor that just happened to be exiting the washroom and caught her as she fell off the pin ball machine head first!  Although you'd never know it to see her :), she is in her 60's, yet she survived the incident with nothing more than a few bruises.  Although shaken up, we continued with our wallpaper and tile meeting before she went off to the hospital to be checked out! 

One of my clients found a lovely mirror for her living room for $1500 at Jordan's Interiors.  I found the exact - i mean exact same mirror in a different finish for $40!  Isn't that crazy?
