“I’m dreaming of a white kitchen…”
 |
| SIMPLE YET STUNNING FINISHES MAKE A MARVEL OF THIS TRADITIONAL STYLE KITCHEN |
Who can deny the beauty of a white cabinet landscape? Not only is it a timeless look, it’s a perfect canvas to showcase your culinary art. White kitchens are a classic, everlasting scheme that most anyone can appreciate. They can exude luxury and elegance when using opulent finishes like marble, quartz, glass, and painted millwork.

| BEAUTIFUL, TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS AND ARCHITECTURE MAKE THIS ONE OF JULIA'S FAVOURITES! |
However, if you opt for a casual approach, you might choose the classic subway tile, laminate or wood countertops, and tile flooring.

| THIS MODERN, COUNTRY-CASUAL DESIGN WOULD SUIT ANY VANCOUVER ISLAND HOME |
Because white is the ultimate diverse colour, you can enhance your cabinets with small details to create a traditional feel. Elements such as corbels, glass mullions, and crown moulding are certainly a great place to start.
If it is a contemporary aesthetic you desire, choose a simple moulding without bevelled edges; perhaps a waterfall countertop edge is appropriate, and don’t forget to add a few high contrasting elements.

| WEST COAST CASUAL MEETS CONTEMPORARY STYLE |
No matter what your design concept or budget, a glamorous white kitchen is always on the menu!

Not your Grandmother's wallpaper...
Wallpapers have come a long way in design, environmental impact, and functionality. Fortunately for us we get to see first hand all of the new and innovative products available. This is a perfect platform for us to share with you the amazing developments in the wall covering world.
From large scale patterns to intriguing colour combinations, wall paper can truly be the inspiration and starting point to any well designed space. Not only are they a brilliant way to express your personal style, but they are highly versatile in the role they play.
Perhaps your choice is obviously bold and the center of attention, or it could be the subtle texture or print that gives your room a composed and comfortable atmosphere.
Instead of feeling nauseas the next time someone mentions “wallpaper”, think twice before tossing the idea out with last nights leftovers. With a little direction, you just might find the perfect paper treatment to completely transform the drab, forgotten room in your home.
Move over paint; wallpaper is back!
