This house was designed with family and friends in mind. The main floor is where our clients will spend most of their time; the second story offers space for out-of-town visitors. The kitchen and great room areas are semi-open and ideal for entertaining guests.

Now their favorite spot in the house, the living room evokes a fresh, easy feeling. "The former decor was too dated and fussy," admits Sherri. Knowing what they were after, but unsure of how to get there, the couple enlisted the help of interior designer Ingrid Porter. Pulling from the existing palette in the dining room makes this update a natural progression in the grand scheme of the home. Keeping some pieces, such as John's mother's rocker, was essential. Porter had the chair reupholstered to reflect the new feeling of the space. "With a lot of demands during the workday, they both needed a space that was quiet and calm to refuel their minds," explains the designer. "John has told me that he spends a lot more time in this room now." Photo: Adrienne DeRosa © Houzz 2014

We spend extra time to make sure each design is exactly what our client has in mind. This pergola was requested by a client who had a particular vision and we made it a reality.

This spacious home in North Vancouver's Deep Cove community had been built and decorated just over 20 years ago and was in need of updating. Our clients who are empty nesters, spend much of their time in the kitchen and family room so we focused on these spaces keeping in mind that the more formal spaces on the main floor will follow in a few years time. For the most part the layout of their kitchen worked well for them so our role was to tweak the kitchen and family room furniture layout and to select updated finishes and furnishings. Since this home transformation is not happening all at once, we purposefully selected classic finishes, like antique brass hardware, that will tie in with the rest of the home's decor until it can be updated. The resulting refresh stays true to the original feel of the house while giving it a clean, updated look.

This lovely two-car garage was constructed to secure antique​​​ automobiles. A second story was designed over the garage bays for a home office. The roof is cedar shake. The remote-operated doors are insulated to keep the interior space temperate year round.

After the Thanksgiving meal, everyone gathers in my client's family room to play games, talk and watch TV. In her family room, the fireplace is the focal point. With this in mind, I've added the sign Gather, to touch upon the sentiment of this holiday and the joy of everyone spending time together.
