Proven Design Ideas Guide Our Bath And Laundry Room Redo | ORC, FALL 2020, WEEK 3

Proven Design Ideas Guide Our Bath And Laundry Room Redo | ORC, FALL 2020, WEEK 3

Lessons from renos-past inform our renewal plans.

We all need more beautiful in our lives.

LASTING. Learning how to create beauty with the most incredible dried flowers from @borealblooms at the @slowflowerssummit in Banff. Not all dried florals are equal. These are local blooms dried and prepared without any synthetics and grown with love and purpose. They will last about a year. Beautifully complimented by a floral-dyed silk ribbon from @masaganaflowerfarm.

WIN. WIN. The magnolia tree had a trim. And we have some branches in the house to play with. Bringing bits of nature inside is good for the soul.

NOT LONG NOW. Busy preparing these vintage bits to create the most wonderful flower-festooned tablescape at the @slowflowerssummit. I’m going for a summer romance vibe and have been out treasure hunting to find new pieces to add to my collection. I can’t wait to share so many ideas with you in Banff later this June. I’ve linked the details of this incredible event in my bio. It’s going to be fab.

GRADUATING CLASS. I wanted to share how easy and enjoyable it is to make prom flowers for the special ones in your life. Can’t believe our youngest is celebrating this milestone already. But here we are. So very, very proud. Our son Theo and his lovely Taryn requested a palette of white. We found lovely calla lilies and orchids for our focals, complimented by lilac, lavender, and lily of the valley from zia Sandy’s garden. Couldn’t be sweeter.

NOT DEAD. Actually these tulips are at a phase I like the most. The present phase. The one they are currently living. Ripe. Open. Soft. I liked their previous iteration too. When they were a bit younger. Turgid. Fresh. Leaning to the sun. So the progress of these tulips may be symbolic of what I think the new account @imnotdead.x is getting at. I suspect the stylish gals in their cleverness leave it open to interpretation. Take what you will. I’m loving the sophisticated sass and gritty elegance of it all. You may want to slide over and have a gander. 🤍

VASESx3. You can take the same flowers and create a very different mood with your vessel. The last of these Starlight Sensation narcissus from our garden were my playthings. If you are coming to the #slowflowerssummit in Banff (link in bio) in June, we’ll be talking about this and so much more flower love. Hope to see you there.

PULL THEM OUT. If you are cutting tulips from your garden to make something lovely, you might as well take the whole plant, bulb and all. If you don’t, most likely next season your tulip will underperform and come up with just leaves or a tiny bud. The bulb needs the nourishment and energy from the plant to prepare for the next season so when you cut them, you are taking that away. This is why most flower farmers treat their spring bulbs as annuals. We have some tulips in our garden that we leave untouched, but mostly I pluck them out and plant again next fall for best results. You can of course arrange your tulips with the bulbs still intact, they tend to last longer that way, or you can cut and arrange. Either way, they are beautiful to bring inside.

THE VIOLETA. Inspired to make this lavender-hued spring arrangement from some tulips delivered to our home by a lovely Violet. To open the blooms up, I’ve used the reflexing technique. Super easy and effective.

GROUNDED. Vases aren’t just for tables. For a simple statement installation, plop a large branch in a large vessel on the floor. Hello beautiful.

ANYTHING GOES. This dainty sprig of clematis vine is quite happy in this black marble toothbrush holder. Be on the lookout for interesting vases to take the simplest of blooms up a notch. Even if it’s not its intended use. I scrounge for mostly vintage, antique and artisanal. But, hey, bathroom accessories work too.

ALWAYS. The optimism of a gardener. You can always find room for more plants. And, our memories are short about how full the garden already is. My spring is filled with stepping over seed trays in the front porch, picking up just a few more flowers even when I’m supposed to be picking up groceries, and warehousing deliveries of specialty blooms until the ground is warm enough to plant. It’s the most hopeful time.

HOW TO GET BLOOMS IN A SHADY CITY GARDEN. Plant for early blooms. I love that we have so many trees in our city, but it does make planting a sun-loving flower garden a challenge. That’s why we bulk up on spring bulbs like daffodils. They get the sun they need to bloom en masse before the leaves get on the trees and it all gets shady.

FLEXIBLE FURNITURE TIPS. Home design and decorating is about solving problems. We had a small office area in our bedroom but that is giving way to some built-in closets we’re having installed.This means, again, we have to shuffle the furniture. Our home’s footprint is already filled with items we don’t want to part with. So begins the furniture gymnastics. One piece moves. And another has to be moved somewhere else. This is made easier because many of the pieces we have are interchangeable.

Here are some tips for collecting furnishings that will look good and be purposeful in any room.
-A consistent colour palette. Our collection of taffy-coloured leather chairs, for instance, although in different shapes and styles look pulled together and work in many different rooms.
-Complimentary decorative touches. A cohesive array of rugs, pillow cases, lighting and other accessories that brings it all together is a space unifier. We use a lot of linen, velvet, jute, weathered gold and always black.
-Multipurpose pieces. Our desk is really an antique refractory table. It has also been a dining table, kitchen island and hall console.
-And finally, keep an open mind about space planning. Placing my work desk in our main family living area may not have been my first choice but I have found it works really well. I get to be close to everyone while I do my thing and I can keep one eye on the TV watching the hockey playoffs.

Would love to hear any of your suggestions too.

SERVING DAFFODILS. Spent a glorious, rainy day in the garden shed. I think daffodils are among the happiest-looking flowers and the harbingers of more sunshine and blooms come. Plus, the squirrels tend to leave them alone. Wins all around.

This is for you @alyssanolann - thanks for taking such good care of the gals.

CAREFUL. Thinking about new bathroom tiles? Over the years, we have updated many a restroom. And learned a lot about selecting tiles. It can be a daunting task. There are so many options to tease us. But it’s not an easy do-over once you’ve bathed a room in decorative hardscaping. Here are lessons we’ve learned - you may consider them before taking the plunge. 😘

1. It’s OK to mix high and Low. In this bathroom we used real marble hex tiles on the floor and porcelain marble-patterned tiles on all the walls. It saves money and it works.

2. Large format tiles on the walls, especially in the shower, reduces the number of grout lines. Lots of grout lines = lots of icky build up and cleaning.

3. Speaking of grout, if it works, I opt for darker grout. No matter how much you scrub, over time, lighter grout tends to stain.

4. In a small bathroom, like ours here, don’t be afraid to be dramatic. The room is swathed in black tile. It’s like a very elegant cocoon.

5. And, of course, pick something you’ll love to look at for a long time. I always resist the latest and go for a classic, timeless tile story. It is expensive and causes a lot of upheaval to switch out, so pick wisely.

RIGID. One of the first blooms of spring, our hellebores are blooming. These perennials are a few years old and they are just starting to get established and productive. They do tend to flop though. So, this technique of gently scoring their stems and hydrating in warm water helps to keep them upright and happy.

SOLITUDE. A creative life is often spent alone. In quiet. Partly, that’s why I like it so much. Time to be inside my own. But there are times, I crave community. The connection. The learning. The collaboration. Along my creative journey, I have invested in my growth and my need to be with others by going to workshops, mostly related to flowers. And each time, after being with a group of kindred spirits for a few days away from my daily routine and family, I have come back energized, with new ideas, new techniques, and new friends. Here’s your chance to do the same. Join me this June 23-25 in Banff at the Slow Flowers Summit. The @slowflowerssummit is for all flower lovers, creatives, artists, gardeners, and supporters of domestic, local, seasonal and sustainable flowers.The time will be filled with discussion, demonstrations, incredible beauty, and togetherness. I will be presenting and I’ve tagged the stellar lineup of my co-participants below. Check out the link in my bio that will take you to the website for more information. I’d love to see you there.

PYRAMID. Thank you so much to the very talented @rachelchofloral for teaching this flower arranging technique. It’s new to me and I was so excited when @holly.lynn delivered the most lovely pink tulips and I could try out this method. Rachel’s work is always so beautiful and I have a long way to go to nail this, but I thought I’d share my first attempt.

DIOR VS CHANEL. Have you been watching the new @appletv series The New Look?
It started off a bit slowly, but we are now hooked. Fashion. Romance. Deception. Passion. All rooted in historical events. It’s all so good. The story is compelling and the sets and costumes are gorgeous. Watching the shows reminded me of an exhibition I saw of Dior’s work a number of years ago at the @romtoronto. Along with a number of the most exquisite Dior gowns, a highlight was a floral installation by @fleursdevilles which to this day takes my breath away.

REINVENT A GARDEN. It might seem daunting as you stare, at the messy yard, or maybe stare at emptiness. You try to figure out where to begin, and how to coax an outdoor space to become something you want it to be, curious about its potential.
