The Clients are fantastic...carte blanche...
go ahead..."the only thing is that our 3 year old daughter is "funky"...likes Ed Hardy."
So I knew I couldn't do the traditional pink or purple...something different, but still "Little girlish".
I had the picture above the bed commissioned by a local artist..it's a watercolour. Great investment.
The furniture is Canadian made; birch wood. The platform bed includes 6 storage drawers in the base of the bed.
The armoire is "Mary-Kate and Ashley" furniture from AP industries. The finish is called a "distressed white". Paint colour used is "Decorator's White" by Benjamin Moore on 3 walls, and the focal wall is called "Lemon Drops".
The girls name is "Summer"...what better colours and theme to pick??
Still waiting upon two pictures above the red chair to complete the look.
Before, Summer didn't want to play in her room. Now, she doesn't want to leave it!
THAT.. makes me happy!

Kitchen Renovations -well worth the short term inconvenience
The inconvenience? Not being able to cook for a bit---(apparently an inconvenience :) )
-the trade off? A fantastic space that everyone can enjoy and feel comfortable in; after all, it really is the heart of the home.
So what's great about this kitchen?
**Remember; the more textures you use in a room, the more interesting it is. BUT...there's a fine line..you don't want to make it look choppy.
The material on the counter we chose is a beautiful brazilian granite called "Titanium". It has black, dark and light grey's, and some hits of golden and opaque colour. A ton of movement, and not overly repetitive.
We transitioned the dark counters with the maple cabinets by utilizing a backsplash that would help dampen the high contrast of the space. It is a gorgeous 1" glass tile in some light, dark grey's and black.
The glass tile was chosen to add more light reflection, and ensured to add the undercabinet lighting to highlight the fantastic backsplash.
The pendant lighting adds colour and warmth to the space and picks up on the warm cabinet colour.
The colour we used on the ceiling is a very cool light grey to add softness to the space, as opposed to a typical white, cold ceiling. The walls a taupe with a green undertone to compliment the cupboard wood tone and cut down on their "orange" tone.
We have introduced some iron accessories to add yet another texture in the lighting, table and chairs.
The kitchen also boasts an elegant granite sink and brushed nickel, goose necked tap with a pull out head/hose for convenience.
We have utilized undercabinet lighting to highlight the backsplash, and it's great task lighting.
Let me know your thoughts!

So why is it that when we buy shoes, we make sure that they fit properly....but when we buy furniture...a much larger investment, we don't plan and take measurements???
Unfortunately, I see this all the time. People call me in after they have purchased couches, chairs, loveseats, tables....
can I help them???.. something"doesn't feel right". It just doesn't seem to fit...or does it?
Let's discuss some basis principles when picking out furniture.
-Firstly, what is your budget...and how will it be dispersed?
-Secondly, look how you and/or your family will live in the space.Will you watch t.v., read books, and play games?
-How much seating is required? Do you have company over frequently?
-What furniture pieces are needed, or best suited for the space?
-Measure out the size...length and depth.
-Don't forget about "visual weight", In other words, two couches may be the same length and fit in the space; however, one may suit the space better. If it's a narrow room, don't purchase anything with large roll arms and fat pillows. Conversely, be careful not to buy a small, sleek piece that may get lost in a large space, or a room with a vaulted ceiling. As well, consider colour. A piece of furniture with dark fabric will feel "heavier" in the room than the lighter fabric.
-Speaking of fabric....it's not only colour, but the type of fabric that you would like. Make sure you choose one of durability when you have young children and pets.
There are SO many factors when designing a space to suit your and your family's needs.
Consult with a professional before you purchase furniture that you CANNOT return, or is custom with a large restocking fee!

"We had to renovate our home and found ourselves lost in the process. A good friend had referred Julia Fedak to us, and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for that!
She narrowed down choices for me according to my style, and had her contractor renovate the entire space with the detail and function that was required.
I would highly recommend using Platinum Home Designs in any renovation-it will save you hundreds of dollars in mistakes!"
Pat, Stoney Creek
Julia (Platinum Home Design) was a real pleasure to work with. Her extensive knowledge, dedication and reassurance allowed me to feel comfortable with the change.
I would definately recommend Staging and Julia (Platinum Home Design). Our real estate agent agreed that Staging definately gave my home measurable value.
What a transformation! I am looking forward to working with Julia in my new home to 'design for living' now!
CINDY MACDONALD, HOMEOWNER, STONEY CREEK
The board of directors of Wayside House of Hamilton was in need of change and update in their counselor's offices. As a not-for profit charity, with very little resources, we needed assistance in visioning, painting and furnishing this work space.
Julia Fedak of Platinum Home Design came in with several recommendations, and purchased quality and attractive items that suited space, function and budget. She took into consideration the needs and desired interests of the counselors when she purchased their individual accessories. She took from her own time to seek out, purchase and deliver furnishings that met our needs. She used her experience in colour and design to create a work space that was both comfortable and functional. Both staff and clients alike appreciate her efforts and we thank her for that.
Sincerely,
Regan E. Anderson, MA
