Okay, let’s be very clear. I am losing my mind already and it’s been a week. Mostly because I have zero “stay at home mom” skills. I had exactly 12 days off from the day my children were born until the day I hobbled back to work. I am self-employed – zero maternity leave – and having twins, I really couldn’t afford to allow my business to suffer any more. I had been on bedrest for months. It was imperative that I go back to work. So, I hit the road 3 days a week, and hauled my babies around if I had to leave home the other 2 days a week. It was tough. But it was survival. Now, ten years later, I am a stay at home mom by self-isolation. No, I am not sick. No, I have not been around anyone who is sick. Yes, I am still seeing some clients (super-screened) and I am still getting to my office (which is basically self-isolation in a second location) as much as I can.

That’s a mouthful. It gives me a headache just reading it.   So, how can we help? No, I am not coming over with a giant glass of wine. I am not babysitting your kids or making breakfast. But here’s some really good advice, and a few things we can do to ease your troubled mind. You aren’t a contractor or a designer. So plotting to do your own renovation may be a little overwhelming.  I can most definitely say, do a little Google-search, and find the perfect team to help you with whatever you plan to do at home. If you’ve read my past blogs, I have discussed at length, the things you should look for in a good team.  But what are some essential things a designer can do to guide you into a less stressful life?

ASBESTOS BE GONE! When working on older homes, asb ASBESTOS BE GONE! When working on older homes, asbestos is always a fear. This home in @toronto was full of it. No more! My amazing team came in and rid the house of the danger so we could move forward in creating the home this place will soon be. So grateful for their hard work. It took a week.

CURVES. I have always been a huge fan of furniture CURVES.
I have always been a huge fan of furniture design. Nineteen years ago, when I first opened my design studio, I was too green to truly believe that I could be any good at designing unique pieces. Now, it is one of the most satisfying things I do in my work. And showing off beautiful lines with bold colour is practically my raison d'etre.
