Custom Home Building: The Passion

Building custom homes has always been my passion. Every person is completely distinct in personality to their neighbor, so it is only common sense that their house should be just as unique. A house that is a modern marvel to one person may translate into an “Eh, it is okay,” to another.

Just like people, houses have personalities and they can often be defined by the personality of the owner or owners. When we sell “ready-now” homes, we know that we are looking for a specific person to match the home; when we build a custom home for our clients we are matching the house to their personality and taste.

As custom home builders we pride ourselves in being able to deliver on the promise of unique and personalized home building and we stop nothing short of that.

If you are looking to find what your perfect house says about your personality check out: Draw a House. It can give you some insight as to how much of your personality is defined by your custom home.

White Shelf Furniture Design as Home Decor Abstract

This is the design of furniture for the kitchen but can also be used as the interior of the house. Depending on the things of the wall paintings and interior decoration may desire most of all humans, from animal skins and cave paintings to modern art and decorative surfaces. Combining functionality and aesthetic appeal, modular wall rack system like this let people create their own combination of functional and storage of custom home decor minimalist.

Part of the appeal of this type of MDF Italian system is flexibility - the ability to slide the boxes and shelves around to fit the decorative element or another of any size width and height. Discounts are white by default by wood-tone accents this section are available as a well.Ã, Â Another key element though is the way this kind of design accommodates the mess: a bookshelf or a series of parallel symmetrical box straight and flat shelves, on the contrary, calls attention to what did not line up with the detailed attention to the organization as a whole.

Hidden metal brackets that reinforce the visual effect is just floating in space - slots for brackets and at the intersection of the individual panels also help to create a level of detail on a smaller scale to contrast with the overall composition. What is still missing, though, is some other material for the making of the mixture even more interesting - maybe glass shelves and boxes.

Gimme My Decorating Magazines Back!

The NY Times today has an article on The Selby.  You probably heard of the site.  It's about real people in their homes--some famous, some not.  The article also went on to discuss how people can relate more to "real places" than professionally decked up places frequently featured in decor magazines, which contributes to their ever growing popularity. 

We love the Selby too but in a way, it's like watching Rachel Ray cooks vs a professional chef.  There is no competition!    Magazines offer beautifully shot, gorgeous decor that we can fantasize about. We don't want to look at houses that look just like ours, for god's sake.  For example, look at the image below from Homebodies, one of the blogs mentioned:

We want our decorating magazines back!  We miss them, terribly.

Starting fresh

Thanks for checking out my blog.  I am a mom of 1 sweet teenager, Julia, and 1 sweet cat Lovey.  Years ago we were starting out and our mortgage and expenses ate all our money and I had to somehow create a home without any resources.  It made me get creative to get the look I wanted.  I figured out where to spend and where to save. I also discovered that white paint can fix almost anything and make your home look cool and fresh in the summer and warm and inviting in the winter.  It's a look I have had for over a decade (inspired as many have been by Rachel Ashwell - love her) and continue to this day. 
My favourite find and creation is this, my $5.00 dresser

It was a garage sale find, it was spray painted "make it stone" beige and it was too much of a sanding job for me.  I painted the structure creamy white (Benjamin Moore Cloud White - cc40) and then got so impatient to finish I wallpapered the drawers;

This is an anaglypta wallpaper, I think Debbie Travis at Canadian tire has some in stock.  I love the dreamy effect it gives and it sped up the transformation for me too!!  I went to ebay and found the crystal drawer pulls but they can be found at Lee Valley Hardware without the shipping cost. 

This is at my previous house (which I loved).  I love this dresser, it has always gone in the living room or dining room (this was Christmas 06) 

This dressser will show up a lot as it is my all time favourite creation.  It was luck, laziness and good supplies hanging around that made it end up looking like this.  I want to thank Linda at http://paintedwhyte.blogspot.com/ who saw this dresser and encouraged me to start this blog. 

Until next time, Patricia

Home Interior Decorating

We all love beautiful things. So, our homes must be the one of them, and therefore, the home décor is very important. Most of us enjoy making our homes more than a mere structure made up of four walls and a roof. Home decor styles range from a number of themes, designs, and materials.
While planning your home decor project, you can either opt for the theme being implemented throughout the house or use one specific theme for a specific room. For example, a house was once designed in such a way that each room was decorated with the styles of the different countries the home owner had visited. All rooms included authentic art and furniture from each visited country.
