Canadian House & Home magazine is a favourite of mine and has been for as long as I can remember, so I find their website is a wonderful source for fabulously designed Canadian homes. I thought I would share some that have caught my eye recently.

I can’t get enough of the eclectic, European style of Daniel Suduca and Thierry Merillou of Suduca & Merillou. (See previous feature here). I thought I’d share some random photos from their portfolio that I just can’t get enough of. Mostly because of that photo above. Dying over the brown/olive wall with the unexpected addition of some teal.

Sharing some kitchen porn (among other awesome spaces) with you by Vancouver-based interior designer Tanya Krpan. If you’re in the market for a kitchen renovation, these are sooo inspiring. Such fabulous materials and attention to detail.

I hate Facebook for the most part, but was reminded recently why I still have an account. Because without it I would not have noticed this incredible renovation project by Emily Arbour. Emily has a gorgeous home in Almonte, a small town outside of Ottawa, and her home was in desperate need of an update. What I saw on Facebook sure captured my attention, and when I went to check out the full story on her blog, I was blown away. The transformation of her kitchen, sunroom, foyer, family room and powder room is fantastic!!! Congrats Emily! I bet you and your family are loving every bit of it. (She has tons of details and sources in her blog post).

This is Sofie, my 15 weeks old kitten. She’s a British Longhair and moved in three weeks ago. She’s adjusted pretty well, but pooped in her playtunell while I was cleaning today. Guess the vacuum and moving of furniture was too much for her…

Some from me. Felix lounging on the sofa in the sun, and on pile of mail on the dining table, and Phoebe and Mimin captured at just the right moment.
