Bloom + Build Design

Hi Friends!

Popping in for a quick update in the middle of a very busy season. Social media has definitely found itself at the bottom of the to-do list lately.

I wanted to share that we are no longer accepting new clients for 2026. We are incredibly grateful to be officially MAXED OUT, with so many exciting projects in the works.

As much as we’d love to say yes to everything, we’re also recognizing the importance of protecting the time and creative energy needed to give each project our full attention.

Thank you for the trust, support, and referrals. We can’t wait to share more of what we’ve been working on.

See you in 2027!

DESIGN DUMP

Different phases of the design process happening across our projects right now. Material decisions are starting to shine through, while finding time for little snippets of inspiration along the way too.

Most of the time it feels like being stuck in the messy middle… until suddenly, everything falls into place.

The sunshine, spring weather, and my lilacs blooming are giving me major cleaning and renovating fever!

Maybe it’s time to chip away at these home projects once again … 🙃

Today, I rediscovered this photo of a past project, and I saw it in a new light. I didn’t notice the flaws or potential design improvements; I saw a home.
The colors blended beautifully, and I imagined it surrounded by snow-covered trees, a warm fireplace, and the sweet aroma of freshly baked croissants.
Sharing this feeling 🧡

Lighting that doesn’t make you look like a drenched rat after a shampoo!!! 🙌

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

Here’s what’s coming into fruition this fall in our design world. 🍂

If my unfiltered design advice… 🤫

It all starts with a sketch.

Whether it’s pen to paper, a doodle, or something quickly scribbled on the back of a napkin—that’s where the ideas first begin to take shape.

As a designer, visuals are my main form of communication.

This fun project for had a spark of inspiration from day one. From there, it was all about pulling the details together and making sure the vision felt right before diving into the facelift for their family home.

(For the record, my sketching skills are definitely more functional than fancy.)

Spring is the perfect time for a colour refresh!

Lately, I’ve been helping plenty of clients update their spaces with fresh paint—everything from exteriors and corridors to feature walls and full makeovers.

Feeling stuck in front of the wall of paint swatches at the paint store? Send over a message—we’d love to help!

My desk this AM.
