Edmonton Decorator | Design Trends | Connect the Dots
The Polka Dot Door and More
I've been spotting them all over the place: blouses, scarves, shoes, purses, gloves and even on manicures. And what dominates in fashion, is soon to follow in home decor. What am I talking about? It's polka dots, of course!
I've gathered some of my favourite images that show the playfulness and versatility of the humble polka dot. From big to small. Bold to muted. There's a dot for just about every style.

Edmonton Decorator | Blue Nile Painting | Hello, Spring
Transitioning Into Spring
Recently, I had the honour to be interviewed by the lovely Pamella at Blue Nile Painting Ltd. on how to "de-winterize" your home decor. Here's our Q and A!
"Yet again, we at Blue Nile got to meet another extraordinary Edmonton designer. Rachel Schofield is known as the Queen of the 90 minute home makeover and (unofficial) Patron Saint of incredible style. She is an Edmonton interior decorator and home stager. We had Rachel over to our place to help with our bathroom renos and overall design tips. It was worth every minute!
A few weeks ago when warm weather graced us in Edmonton, we began to feel a bit of Spring Fever. Our space felt heavy and dark and we were craving some sunshine and lightness. Was it too soon to begin to de-winterize our place? When is it the right time to transition into the next season and what are the easiest and most effective ways to make an impact in your space?
We picked up the phone and called Rachel. After a very fun and informative chat, we HAD to share what we learned. So here it is, ways to make the leap into the new season.
BNP: Now that the holiday season is over and we are eagerly awaiting Spring, what are some ways we can we begin to prepare our interior space for the changing seasons?
RS: Removing old layers (blankets and pillows) and introducing a new colour is a great way to ease into Spring. You can work with what you already have in your space. Lighten up! Choose lighter colours and lighter fabrics. Change your bedding to white or a floral print. Opt for less bulk as well and change out your pillows.
BNP: Are you still seeing “Winter” trends in January and February? Should we wait before we transition into more of a Spring decor?
RS: We are full on into Spring trends. Although we may still be experiencing sub-zero weather, the key is to follow fashion trends, so Spring is on it’s way.
BNP: What are the Spring trends you are seeing?
RS: The colour we are seeing is Radiant Orchid. It goes well with greens, yellows, and greys. (Visit Rachel’s post about this vibrant colour). I recommend using this colour as an accent colour like a wallpaper, pillow, fabric, maybe a feature wall. With textures and patterns we have made a shift from stripes into more floral, lace, fringe, and macrame. Wallpaper is also very popular, just do one wall. When thinking furniture think lightness, airiness, glass furniture, mirrored, reflective, and glass doors.
BNP: What are your favourite places to shop and online spaces to visit for inspiration?
RS: I love Jonathan Adler. It’s a great site to gather inspiration and ideas. A place I enjoy to browse and shop is Z Gallerie. I also adore the Celebrity designer collections at Target online.
BNP: What are your design/decor inspirations for 2014?
RS: Do-it -yourself projects! I am committed to trying out some projects this year. I have started a Pinterest Board.
BNP: And finally, we like to share goals. Our goal for this year is expansion. Expansion in our dreams, service, and how we do business. Hopefully a new company van and maybe an office later in the year. What is your goal for 2014?
RS: To introduce decluttering and organzation services. I think it’s a stumbling block to many people creating their perfect home. Once they reduce the clutter it’s a lot easier to see what can and needs to be done. It’s a necessary pre-cursor to a successful design project.
Ready for Spring? We are! Give Rachel a shout and put a spring into your step and your home decor!"

Edmonton Decorator | 2014 | Year of the Horse
Happy (belated) Chinese New Year!
Is it a coincidence, that it's the year of the Horse and I'm spotting more and more equine themed decor popping up? From over the top statement lamps, to classic bookends, here are a few ideas for the horse enthusiasts out there. So what say you, yay or neigh? ;)

Edmonton Decorator | Professional Organizing and Decluttering
Just call me the Disaster Master
How has 2014 been treating you so far? Who has made a resolution to get their life or home organized and decluttered?
On January 1st, I went through my house like a clutter-seeking missile to eradicate my space of any superfluous items. After my 30 minute mission, I was done with my clutter busting. But, I was HUNGRY for more.
That's why, I have decided to offer a new service to my clients: Professional Organization and Decluttering.
Below are a few pictures from a recent project to help a client declutter and organize their home. (I apologize in advance for the pics. I got so caught up, I forgot to take photos of some rooms. And the other photos were taken in extreme haste. But, you get the idea...)
