After Beehive Organizing worked with the client to declutter and organize their basement, everyone in the household could find items they needed. Mementos, camping supplies and other seasonal items now have a designated space and everything is easily put back in place after being used.

Here is a frontal view of Flash - the laughing horse. She lived a long, happy life on the plains of North Dakota. One evening, she failed to come home. The owners found her remains many months later. Only her skull was left. The kept it as a memento. It was an honor to be asked to create this homage to her.

This historic estate features a guest room with striking architectural beams that define the sleeping area. The bed features a Fornasetti "Crying / Smoking" design double sided cushion, made in Italy by Luciano Marcato. Matching bedside tables display the homeowner’s mementos; a vintage brass cat makes fast friends with a snapshot of a brilliant painting taken on holiday in London. Artwork by Kevin Moore pairs effortlessly with the room's traditional furnishings and contemporary feel.

When our clients approached us to renovate their 1950s Newfoundland home, their goal was to modernize while reflecting both their West Coast roots and current East Coast lifestyle. What began as a simple ensuite repair expanded into a full home transformation, completed in two thoughtfully phased renovations. Drawing from our cross-coastal experience—and a personal connection to the home’s past—we blended classic East Coast charm with West Coast simplicity. From reworking the layout and finishes to integrating their art collection and layering in warm, tactile materials, every detail was designed to feel cohesive, inviting, and deeply personal.

The homeowner prefers a graphic, woodsy look and used the theme in the kitchen nook for soft goods. Fabrics are performance so that pets may enjoy the sunshine on the window bench without worry.

Details: The integrated stainless steel sink was custom fabricated by the countertop craftspeople. It has crisp corners, a lowered center divider (to minimize splash from the faucet) and offset drains (to push back the plumbing so as to allow for better cabinet storage below). To the right of the sink is a subtle detail (look closely at the reflections to see it), but one that adds great functionality: a sloped, recessed drainboard directs water back into the sink. The window is trimmed tight to the cabinets on either side with custom maple millwork, and has a built-in shelf above--again with trim up to the ceiling. The shelf provides a nice spot for favorite curios and mementos. The pendant light above the sink is actually an LED fixture with an Edison style bulb. Stainless steel outlet and switch covers over black devices pull the design together. Under-cabinet xenon lighting highlights the tile.

We took the opportunity to create a layered, beautiful vignette in an otherwise unused space in the hallway. We collected some of the homeowners' treasured objects and mementos from their travels and tied them together with new and modern elements that tied into the rest of the house. The layered mirrors add interest and serve to reflect light from the windows, candles, and the beautiful new chandelier that was installed in the formal dining area.

In our early discussions, the home owners mentioned how it would be great to keep some mementos from the old house. We decided that throughout the demolition stage we would collect any timber that could be recycled, such as the old Rimu joists, the Kauri T & G flooring, and the Kauri weatherboards. We were able to re-run the floor boards and use them in the entryway, dining room and kitchen.
