Barn Loft is featured in .

A once dark barn loft, fully reimagined into a light-filled, functional apartment for visiting family. Skylights, preserved wood beams, and a reimagined floor plan bring together modern coastal freshness with subtle farmhouse touches.

Equal parts functional and stylish, I’ll forever adore this warm, welcoming space.

Living abroad changed the way I see interiors.

When my husband and I moved to Barcelona in our late twenties, I wasn’t working as a designer. I was taking Spanish classes full-time and spending my days walking through old neighbourhoods, sitting in cafés, noticing worn stone floors, compact kitchens, lived-in materials, and the way people gathered.

Without realizing it, I was studying design in a completely different way.

In my latest blog, I’m looking back at the design lessons I learned while living abroad, and how they continue to shape the way I approach homes today.

There’s something different about designing a forever home.

Every decision matters a little more - how it looks and how holds up to real life. For this Toronto Crescent Custom, we focused on materials that could deliver on both.

A leathered quartzite in the kitchen that is rich, textured, and forgiving enough for everyday use. In the ensuite, a bold Viola marble that makes a statement but also hides the wear that comes with a full, busy household. And more details that will only get better with time: unlacquered brass, site-finished oak floors, a Parisian-style nook with checkerboard marble, and a custom concrete mantle that grounds the space.

We couldn’t be happier with how this project turned out!

This Mother’s Day, I’ve been thinking a lot about the word home.

As both a designer and a mom, I know firsthand how quickly family life shifts. Routines change, kids grow (and yes, so do the pets), and what worked a year ago often doesn’t hold up today. When I sit down to design with a family, I love to imagine every nook and cranny of how the space will actually be used. This means looking at the “how” before the “what” and taking into account the technical logistics of how the whole household moves through a room.

That level of understanding only comes from being invited into the very real, everyday rhythms of a home. So to all the mothers and families who have invited me into their private worlds and trusted our team to define their sanctuary, thank you.

It is an incredible privilege to be part of your journey and to help build a space that supports the people you love exactly the way you do.

This was one of those projects that felt special from the very beginning. As we spent more time with our clients, understanding how they actually live and move through their home, it became clear the space needed more than surface updates. It needed to work better for them.

So we stepped back and rethought the entire main floor making it feel more connected and easier to live in day to day.

The design leans modern transitional with subtle Scandinavian influence. Clean lines and simplicity, layered with natural textures and materials that will last. Neutral, timeless pieces anchor the space, while smaller details bring in personality.

It’s calm, bright, and welcoming, and most importantly, supports how this family actually lives. We’re so thrilled to see this project celebrated!

At first, the plan for this family home was simple: repaint the dark wood cabinets, swap out the counters, and add a new backsplash. But as conversations unfolded about how they live, gather, and move through the space, it quickly became clear that a more thoughtful redesign would better support their lifestyle.

Together, we reimagined the entire main floor, from the great room to the home office, so the space could feel connected and functional.

The final design blends modern transitional style with warm Scandinavian influences, pairing clean lines and minimalism with natural textures and enduring materials. Neutral, classic furnishings ground the space, while smaller accents bring in personality, creating a home that feels bright, welcoming, and ready for all the little moments that make this family’s story truly theirs.
