Paula's Top Tip
-
Think about the appliances you will want in your finished space, right from the start. Your cabinets are built around your appliances, not vice versa, so it's important to do your research and get quotes, specs, and inspirational photos before we get too far into the design stage. Coming in with an idea of what you'd like to see in the end (or better yet, the specific model numbers) will make the whole process more smooth and efficient for everyone!

Personal Style
Current Personal Dream Design:
Bright white spaces; cozy but a little modern; lots of windows and natural light; natural woods in the furniture; pops of colour and black; mixed metals. If you can pull off the eclectic look (so it looks like you’ve been gathering things over time), that’s the best! I have my whole house designed on paper but waiting for the right time to execute it.
Happy this fad is over:
Really ornate designs can work in some contexts but not in general
Hobbies
Current Hobbies:
Playing with my kids; swimming in the pool; running; snowboarding; biking
Hobbies I'd Like To Resurface:
Painting; I’d like to learn to play the fiddle, too (my family from down East is really musical)
Favourite Meal
To Cook:
Usually, my husband cooks the meat and I make the pasta and sides
To Eat:
Anything pasta-related
