House & Home Magazine’s Kitchens & Baths Issue 2013

Well hello stranger!  It has been awhile – four weeks to be exact. Chalk it up to an incredible vacation on the East coast (of Canada) and enjoying summer vacation with my girl. (And fitting client work in as well.)

Remember last year when I blogged about Canadian House and Home’s annual Kitchens and Baths issue? I love that issue and took it with me to every kitchen and bath consult I had. It is a great resource to show clients different design ideas and products.

Well, the 2013 special issue hit newsstands this past weekend and guess what? I am in it. (I don’t think I mentioned that on the blog before but I did Instagram photos from shoot day.)

H&HKitchen issue

It features a small bathroom I designed last year and how it can be styled two different ways for two completely different looks.

Joel Bray, design editor, was the stylist who pulled the two looks together. I think they are brilliant and can’t decide which one I like more.

Margot Austin, editor, wrote an incredibly flattering blog post on how the story came to be and the design itself. You can read it here. (Wow – thanks so much Margot!)

You have to buy this issue if you are thinking about/dreaming about/planning a kitchen or bath reno. (It’s not available with your subscription.) I’m not just saying that because I am in it! There is a wealth of practical advice and product info, not to mention beautiful photos.

A huge thank you to Margot and her team for their professionalism, creativity and talent. And I also want to thank these clients for their trust and for working with me to create this beautiful bathroom.  (This sounds like an Oscar speech!)
Have a wonderful week everyone!
