Rick & Lorna’s House in Canadian House & Home

Hi Everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Just thought I’d share a home that I shot for the latest issue of Canadian House & Home …… The home itself is not only beautiful but the family that lives there is too. Lorna & Rick Penner have four kids to keep them busy along with Rick’s booming building company Rodell Homes Inc. He is the mastermind behind the building of their house and Lorna is the talent behind all of the interior design. Obviously you can see she truly enjoys the process of making her house a home. The relaxed and airy feel of the home is lovely but what I swoon over most is the amount of linen used throughout and those wood beams …….. to die for! I think you’ll really get inspired like I did while admiring what this home boasts. Thanks Lorna for all of the yummy cookies and Rick, the coffees were the best ever.

Well hello there, neighbor!

Yup, needed a blind for our bathroom! The toilet is right beside the window and a glass wall is all that separates you when in the shower. The old, textured window is too much to bare. Our view into their bathroom and their view into ours is pretty crystal clear.

So I called up my friend Barbara over at Hodge:Podge to see if she would make me a bathroom blind. Most of you know her, she’s the one that sews up a storm of pillows, creates a stunning gallery wall, paints side tables, re-upholsters chairs, hacks Ikea furniture ……. This lady is a seriously talented DIYer!!!!!

I chose to use white linen with mother of pearl buttons for my Martha Stewart inspired blind.

Upon pick up, one of the best things that came out of getting Barbara to do this project for me besides a pretty blind and privacy, was having a great visit over Sushi with a fabulous friend.

Thank you B !!!
