We always try to source furniture thoughtfully, starting with quality pieces from locally owned vintage and second-hand shops. If we can’t find the right piece, our next choice is to have it made locally.

When neither is the right fit, we source through a carefully selected group of brands we genuinely love, many of which offer exclusive trade pricing that we can extend to our design clients.

Whenever possible, we prioritize Canadian companies, quality craftsmanship, natural materials, responsible manufacturing, and pieces designed to last.

Below are some of our favourite brands to partner with.

What brands do you love? Bonus points for Canadian-made and environmentally conscious companies. We’re always looking for new ones to partner with.

A great client really does make all the difference.

This project went from our initial meeting to Planning Compliance Certificate to permit-approved drawings in just 2 months.

They knew what they wanted, responded quickly, trusted the process, and were open to guidance along the way.

When the client and designer work as a team, everything moves smoothly.

Many renovation challenges don’t actually come from the construction itself — they come from what happens before it begins.

When there isn’t a clear design phase, decisions often get made on the fly, which can lead to change orders, delays, confusion on site, and costs that weren’t originally planned for.

A well-developed design process helps bring clarity early — so everyone involved in the project is working from the same plan, with fewer unknowns along the way.

It’s not just about design for aesthetics — it’s about setting the foundation for a smoother, more predictable build.

If you’re planning a renovation and want to avoid unnecessary surprises, starting with a clear plan is the most important step.

A little cottage charm, a little elbow grease, and a lot of Lake Ontario shoreline.

This Amherst Island home has so much potential.

Designing a home you can love now and live in longer is one of the most thoughtful choices you can make.

Secondary suites for generational living, slab-on-grade designs for ease of access, main-floor living, seamless shower entrances, non-slip tile, and low-maintenance natural materials are all details that can make a home feel beautiful, practical, and future-focused.

Because sometimes the goal isn’t to move on from the home you love.

It’s to make it work better for you.

Most renovation regrets usually come down to one thing: decisions made too quickly or without a clear plan in place.

It’s easy to focus on finishes and inspiration, but the choices that have the biggest long-term impact are often the less obvious ones — layout, lighting, functionality, storage, and planning.

A thoughtful renovation should not only look good, but feel good to live in every day.

If you’re in the early stages of planning a renovation and feeling unsure where to start, having a clear plan from the beginning can make the entire process much smoother.

All of this hands-on experience has taught me so much—how structures really work, how to solve design challenges on the fly, and how much pure craft goes into making a space feel right.

Most people think a renovation starts with demolition…
But the real work begins long before anything is built.

From understanding your space, to creating thoughtful layouts, to refining every detail and preparing permit-ready drawings - this is where a successful project is made.

When the groundwork is done right, everything that follows feels smoother, more aligned, and far less overwhelming.

If you’re thinking about renovating, this is your first step.

A lot of people aren’t exactly sure what a BCIN designer does - but it’s a really important part of the renovation and building process.

It’s not just about creating a layout that looks good. It’s about making sure your plans can actually be approved, built, and function the way you need them to.

From permit drawings and building code requirements to zoning and coordination with other professionals, there are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes of a well-planned project.

Having the right plan in place from the beginning can make the entire process feel much more clear and manageable.

If you’re thinking about a renovation or build and aren’t sure where to start, feel free to reach out - I’m always happy to help guide you in the right direction.

Most people start a renovation thinking about finishes, layouts, or inspiration.

But in Ontario, many projects require a level of planning that goes far beyond aesthetics.

From permit requirements to building code compliance, there are important steps that need to be considered before construction even begins.

Design isn’t just about how a space looks, it’s about making sure it’s functional, approved, and ready to build.

If you’re planning a renovation and aren’t sure what’s required for your project, it’s always worth starting with a proper design and planning process. Send us a message to see what your project needs.
