Virtual Decorator | Creating a Moodboard | Art Deco Inspired

A common question I get from clients looking to select a colour scheme is: "How do I know the colours will go well together?" My two answers are "look to nature" or "think of your favourite piece of art". Chances are, you're going to discover a perfectly harmonious colour scheme.

For this moodboard, I chose this Art deco-era Vogue magazine cover as inspiration for a living room design.

Edmonton Decorator | DIY | Painting Fabric

Why Painting Fabric Will Make You Question Everything

Design trends come and go, but budgets don't always keep pace with these trends. The floral sofa you spent thousands on last decade is now terribly out of date and is a giant eyesore in the center of your living room. So what do you do? Re-upholstering can be very costly and pre-fabricated slipcovers come in limited sizes and colours. Do you live with the floral monstrosity or shell out more hard earned money to keep up with the Joneses?

What if I told you that you could PAINT your upholstered furniture? If you haven't heard of Chalk Paint, let me introduce you to this makeover miracle! It doesn't matter if your furniture is leather, linen, velvet or cotton. This paint will transform it all!

Edmonton Decorator | DIY | Chalkboard Paint

The Chalkboard Paint DIY Article of Your Dreams

Chalkboard paint is a modern design marvel. It allows you to instantly transform just about any surface into a canvas for your creativity. Write down an inspiration quote. Doodle a caricature. Then wipe it all away and start again. Tada!

I grew up in an era where teaching was done on a chalkboard. So I guess I still have fond memories of this school room esthetic.

Use chalkboard paint to create table top and galleries for children, customizable wine glasses for guests or simply a message center for your family.
