In just 5 years, rare Catalina Ironwood trees have grown to provide dappled shade and an effective privacy screen. Across the meadow, the young Sycamore, Elderberry, and Engleman Oak cover the neighbor's' wood fence and add privacy.

When a home has beautifully appointed details as showcased in this kitchen less is more. Just a few well placed accessories allow your eyes to feast on the richness of the space. Bon appetit! Bobbie McGrath/Successful Staging

When marketing your home it's the details that count! The views from the dining room into the rest of the house was key to creating a one-of-a-kind impression through the marketing photos. Working hand in hand with the photographer, Charles Dickens Photography, allowed me to share my vision of what details I believed should be highlighted. Charlie captured this homes wonderful mixture of rustic and sophisticated details beautifully in this photo.

This lush and colorful hillside was once a barren, dry slope full of weeds and briars. We created the river rock stone terraced walls mainly to retain the truckloads of good garden soil that we added so that this hill could be planted successfully. The curved design is very attractive and the rustic style blends well with the log cabin architecture of the house. We also added large boulders nearby. You can see a few to the far right.

The area off the kitchen becomes the dedicated homework area for the family's two children. This allows the family to stay connected during their busy evenings.

The homeowners of this condo sought our assistance when downsizing from a large family home on Howe Sound to a small urban condo in Lower Lonsdale, North Vancouver. They asked us to incorporate many of their precious antiques and art pieces into the new design. Our challenges here were twofold; first, how to deal with the unconventional curved floor plan with vast South facing windows that provide a 180 degree view of downtown Vancouver, and second, how to successfully merge an eclectic collection of antique pieces into a modern setting. We began by updating most of their artwork with new matting and framing. We created a gallery effect by grouping like artwork together and displaying larger pieces on the sections of wall between the windows, lighting them with black wall sconces for a graphic effect. We re-upholstered their antique seating with more contemporary fabrics choices - a gray flannel on their Victorian fainting couch and a fun orange chenille animal print on their Louis style chairs. We selected black as an accent colour for many of the accessories as well as the dining room wall to give the space a sophisticated modern edge. The new pieces that we added, including the sofa, coffee table and dining light fixture are mid century inspired, bridging the gap between old and new. White walls and understated wallpaper provide the perfect backdrop for the colourful mix of antique pieces. Interior Design by Lori Steeves, Simply Home Decorating.
