Have you ever admired someone’s work for a long time and then they call you to work on a project? Awesome! Well, I have always loved Lisa Sherry’s design and we had the opportunity to photograph a few projects with her recently.

traditional home | louise gaskill

We are always thrilled to work with Traditional Home and this piece in the March issue was no exception. A few months ago, we visited Louise Gaskill at her studio in Raleigh, NC, where she showed us how she repurposes old chandeliers and lights to make new custom lighting pieces. I love how she breathes new life into her designs by salvaging gorgeous details. We could have stayed for a week to watch her work — one day was simply not enough!

Pick up your copy of Traditional Home and enjoy the photos below. You can find more of Louise's work on her website.

style at home | cabbagetown

We are so excited to have the May cover of Style at Home magazine!  I always love doing shoots in the motherland and especially with the talented Style at Home crew.

How beautiful is this Toronto house?  It is nestled back from the busy city in the popular Cabbagetown neighbourhood.  We enjoyed all the pretty cottagey details and the fresh decor through out the house and garden area. Hope you enjoy some of our favorite images from the shoot.

FYI for friends in the US – Style at Home is available at the check out at most Wholefoods

homesense 2015 | spring lookbook

When Tamara Robbins Griffith called me to come to Toronto to shoot for HomeSense – I was so thrilled!  I love shooting in Toronto and it was like a reunion to shoot with Tamara and Christine Hanlon, both of whom I knew from Style at Home.  The HomeSense team was wonderful and we really had fun shooting all of these little vignettes . . . there are definitely some pretty things I would like to get my hands on.  HomeSense is a part of the TJ Maxx corporation.

our state | april cover

“The earth laughs in flowers.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

It was so lovely to have the April cover of Our State Magazine!  One can never have enough peonies in my opinion.  They are lacy and feminine and have a delicious perfume.  I want oodles and oodles of them in my yard (doesn’t everyone??).

I moved last July to a house that unfortunately didn’t have much landscaping done.  With hopes of what my yard could be, I planted 2 peony bushes in last summer and 2 this spring.  They probably won’t bloom this year so I will have to vicariously enjoy all the lovely flowers in my neighbourhood until next year.

Two peonies were transplanted from my old yard – I really didn’t think they’d make it since they were moved in the oppressive heat of July in NC.  I think I almost cried when I saw them coming up this year!  The other two peonies are from the farmer’s market – divided from some old southern peonies.  I don’t even know what color they are but that will be the wonderful surprise of next spring!
