Interior: Long, bright dining room (The Kwendy Home)

July 25, 2023 in Interiors

Every time I’m invited back to photograph The Kwendy Home, there’s a new room that I haven’t seen before and this was no exception. From little details to entire transformations, there’s always something new.

The dining room was created with hosting in mind, with a long dining table and plenty of space to move around.

Interior: Bright 4-piece primary bathroom (Sabrina O'Neill Design and Jennifer McLean Interiors)

July 22, 2023 in Interiors

Sabrina O’Neill Design and Jennifer McLean Interiors collaborated on this multi-room project to design a powder room and an entire top floor, which includes the primary bedroom, four-piece bathroom, and office.

Before the renovation, the room had a darker colour theme, but now it’s light and bright. It’s spacious with a window and skylight, bringing in lots of natural light.

Business branding portraits: pros and cons

June 12, 2023 in People, Lifestyle

Business branding portraits are more useful than just putting a face to a name. There are many benefits to investing in a session:

  • Shows your brand identity: They help businesses connect with their customers and shows your personal brand. It creates a recognizable and memorable visual to potential clients.

  • Creates connection and builds trust: It is easier to build trust when people can see who they’re considering working with. Professional photos present your brand as a credible business.

  • Marketing assets: A set of photos with a consistent style can be used in different ways. You can use them for your website, social media, external biography photos (e.g. speaking engagements), or print material.

There are some factors to consider and prepare yourself for:

  • Expense: Professional photos are an investment so do research on different photographers before scheduling a session. There may be other costs, such as a hair stylist, makeup artist, and location rental.

  • Vulnerability: You may feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and you might have to step out of your comfort zone, but when you find the right photographer, they should be able to help you feel at ease.

  • Longevity: Your personal style and business, along with trends, may evolve over time so you should keep your portraits up to date to best represent your brand.

Interior: Relocated kitchen and dining room (Creative Design Therapy)

May 22, 2023 in Interiors

Creative Design Therapy relocated her clients’ kitchen to create a large, open space that’s perfect for hosting. She chose colours for the island, lower cabinets, and backsplash to give the kitchen a fun personality. There is no shortage of storage, but if the homeowners needed more, they have a separate pantry with ample cabinets.

Here’s one way to add fun and whimsy to your bathroom: a patterned tile wall with colour πŸ’šπŸ€πŸ’šπŸ€

Went on a πŸŸ‘πŸ’›β­οΈπŸŸ¨ colour hunt in Japan and Taiwan ☺️ Which one’s your favourite? I love the ones with the ginkgo tree and flatbed truck. 

#tokyo #japan #taipei #taiwan #colourhunters
When this long kitchen was divided by a peninsula, @belyndacheninteriors changed the layout and flow by turning it into an island. This created more countertop space for food prep, more storage, and still included seating.

An entire built-in pantry
