Initially, when we were building a cottage, Barb was instrumental in working directly with the designers and builders on the interior. The result was outstanding. > > In several other situations, I had to take possession of a condominium that was not furnished and asked Barb to make all the furniture purchases. Without me seeing what she had selected, again the outcome was great. > > In the latest iteration, I relocated to Sydney for a few years. I was traveling throughout Asia so I did not have a lot of time on my hands; Barb sourced all the furniture and had it delivered in time for my return, which was a god send. ## Selected projects - [Brunswick Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brunswick-residence-pj-vj~5587556) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 10 - Description: On this fourth project with these clients, I curated a lifetime of collecting art and many treasures from their travels into a modern two story condo without stuffing too much stuff into it.
