One of my favourite courses in College was the Colour Theory program. I loved learning about the benefits of colours and how they effect mood, health and perspective. It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do in transforming the look of any given space. I once had a client who booked a colour … Continue reading The basics of Colour Consultations
I found these photos of my very first design reno out of school!

Through ME… little did I know, He was pruning and refining me (again) in this … Continue reading What can happen in a year
