I remember watching an episode of Design Inc with Sarah Richardson in which she confesses that one of her guilty obsessions is vacuuming. This was during the wrap up phase of one the projects when they were all in a cleaning frenzy.And while I'm in no way comparing myself to Sarah... this last week I could hardly wait to get home every night to vacuum. As I said to Anita and Ashley I think I've

I feel so guilty I haven't been posting. Since I've been back which is almost 2 weeks now I have had to overcome jet lag and a cold (caught from my adorable nephew) and getting back into a regular work schedule. I climatized very well to a 3 hour time change, after 2 weeks of sleeping in until 8am, which is really 11am here, it made readjusting here very difficult. Not being a morning person

For todays post I thought I would share some images of a couple of the projects we've been working on over the summer and finishing up during these last couple of weeks. First up a major laundry room and bathroom renovation. I posted progress pictures of this project a few weeks ago. Both of these rooms are now 100% complete and we're waiting for a few more things to finish off the house in the

Our first shipment from our buying trip started coming in... We're all so excited it's just like Christmas down in the warehouse. Boxes and boxes just waiting to be opened and inside lots and lots of pretty things. Here's look at some of the items we've unpacked so far and set out in the store. It's still summer here so we made sure to have some great decor and table top designs for your home and

We've been to Toronto and now we're back ... we had a fantastic trip. We spent the first 4 days at The CGTA show and the last 3 days at leisure in downtown Toronto. We bought lots and lots of beautiful things for the store and a few things for ourselves. I cannot wait for the merchandise to start arriving. It was a great show and a great week.The day before I left for Toronto I had to go in to

As promised, for todays post I am taking you on a house tour of our latest project. We wrapped up this project on Friday.The house itself is a 4 bedroom 2 story house situated in a park like setting here in Summerside. When we first visited the house the previous owners were still in residence and at that time we took our initial pictures and dimensions for all the rooms.Our clients, who were an

I hope you enjoyed the video from yesterday. I just couldn't resist.For this weeks post I am inspired by the good weather we had today. It's a balmy 27 degrees here on PEI with lots of sunshine. It's so nice when I meet people while travelling or on the road and tell them I live on PEI, I am always met with a such positive responses. I can't tell you how many times people tell me "Oh yeah PEI,

I saw this video on youtube compliments of my son. It's about as far away from designing as you can get. However it is creative, entertaining and hopefully will bring a smile to your face as you watch it. Afterall most of us have seen this slick.Happy Saturday night. Thanks for watching.Susan

For today's post I thought we could have a look at a few of the projects and places I've been working on over the past several weeks. Working on PEI has me on the road driving constantly. Right now we are working on 2 major projects, one is here in Summerside (last weeks post) and the other is located in Charlottetown. Along with these projects we are also working on several smaller yet great

I haven't posted for well over a month. I came back in from my gardens since my last posting and have been steadily trying to keep up with my yard work on the weekends. Due to the amount of rainfall we received in June my grass and weeds have been growing like crazy.I also took a trip to Ottawa to visit some friends during June. What a beautiful city Ottawa and its surrounding areas are.My

I usually don't post twice in one weekend and most weeks I'm lucky to get my weekend post in. However, this being a long weekend has given me an extra day off to explore my dusty photo files, something which I have been meaning to do for quite a long time.Below are a collection of random photographs of rooms which have been completed. Most of my clients prefer a decorating style which I call

For this weeks blog I thought I would give an update on the work I've been doing this week. I have 3 major renovations going on, one here in Summerside, one in Charlottetown and one in Stratford. As well, we're working at various stages in other homes and a couple more projects involving a series of window treatments and furniture installations. Whew... it's busy and thankfully I have both Anita

I thought I would share an update on our kitchen electrical project. As you recall this image is from my last posting. Since we've done a renovation in this kitchen we needed to upgrade the lighting. This meant getting rid of the off center boob light and swapping out the eating nook fixture.And here it is today... new drum light and stunning crystal light bar over the island. Also note the 2

Sorry readers, I know my posts have been a little delayed these days. Everyone seems to be in the mood to update their homes which has had me hopping busy.I am currently finishing several very large design projects, a cottage space and hope to find some time in the next month to get out and get pictures of all the fabulous homes I've worked on in the last year. I'm dying to share many of the

For todays post I thought we would look at gorgeous decorating ideas featuring fresh green. Green... I love it! Especially these days when the snow is slowly melting after such a long white winter it's so nice to be seeing green sprouting up in the garden.By the way, anyone watch HGTV Top Ten series this week? I absolutely loved the interiors and can't wait for next weeks show.This image

Just for fun for todays post I thought I would post inspirational images of what my ultimate Glam house would look like... Time for a little daydreaming... White, white, and more white with gorgeous flowers arrangements. I love this....The diningroom. And a white kitchen of course!My dressing table. My master bedroom.

For todays post I want to show you my new chair which I just got back from my upholsterer. The chair was given to me by a friend and sat in the warehouse at Moving Designz over the winter while I was on the look out for the perfect fabric. I found the new fabric while we were up in Toronto in January and thought it would be perfect for the chair. The chair before...The chair now... The fabric

For todays post I thought I would continue on with more inside looks at Moving Designz Home & Cottage. But first here's a look at last Mondays ice storm... this is my yard with all the trees covered in at least an inch of ice. I took this picture on Tuesday afternoon when the sun came out. It looked so pretty. Its days like this when Spring is so late coming that make you want to travel South.

For todays post I thought I would share some images of the new spring interior displays and merchandise at Moving Designz Home & Cottage. Alot of the new decor is from the buying shows in Toronto last month and has been arriving daily. We've been extra busy over the past 2 weeks receiving many of our new items and setting up the store for a fresh spring look. Since the store looks so beautiful

For todays post I thought we would look at room accessorizing. For many of us this can be difficult as we all have favorite things to display but do not want to end up with a cluttered look. Here are some quick tips to create an interesting arrangement. Cluster your items together using colour or objects in a unified theme. Vary the height for visual interest perhaps starting with a tall flower

I've just spent an amazing week in Toronto shopping for Moving Designz Spring merchandise. We bought lots of great accessories and furniture which will start arriving within the next few weeks and throughout the spring. We were also lucky enough to get a few days of personal downtime in downtown Toronto. What a fantastic city!As it happened Toronto was in the midst of a record breaking bone

For todays post I have decided to post a very easy DIY project. Honestly I am not a fan, parden the pun, of DIY/craft projects as they never seem to come out quite the way I envisioned but this project was a snap.Inspired by the image below from Style at Home magazine. I ripped it out and have been saving it for inspiration for the past year. I finally tackled the project this past week. I'm
