Doing what I love. This is always a constant theme for me. Having spent my ‘first career’ in a mode of external success I’m always checking myself to see if I’m bringing those old pattens into my current vocation. And admittedly yes I have. Creative joy is a word that keeps popping up for me. Ironically the things that bring me the most joy are not always what I ‘get paid for.’ But I do them anyway because the feeling, flow and connection is priceless to me. One of those things is sharing design/styling tip on TV. I love doing this! I literally have that feeling of I could do this all day long and be so happy. I’m grateful to have done my first Open House Segment with the gracious and gorgeous @fionaforbes for @globalbc . We chatted about finding your design style which I believe so strongly is one of the keys to connecting to your space. You can link in the bio for the full segment and take my Style Quiz on my website. I’ll also bring speaking @vanhomeshows about how to bring your style into creating a beautiful home. Hope to see you there!
Okay I’m reflecting on something (see what I did there...reflecting, mirror ;). Watching @simonsinek and I have to share what he just said ‘A just cause, that idealized vision of the future, does not include your product or service. Your product and your service is the mechanism you use to advance the cause.’ Boom! I have been thinking so much about how I can use my business for something bigger than my own accomplishments. In a world of achievement oriented success its feeling a bit uninspired. Imagine if all business was a force for good and change. Right now my design work supports women and girls in developing countries through @careorg . It’s small but a start. I dont share a lot about it because it’s not ‘design related’ but it’s human related so here I share ;). Love to hear what Simon Sinek’s statement means to you?
I couldn’t let Thanksgiving go by without a beautiful table inspiration. A few tips 🍂 A linen table cloth is always a good thing 🍂 Mix your dishes. I love the look of mixed plates at the table 🍂 Use simple greens and spread down the table mixed in with some candles 🍂 I love a napkin on top of the plate (linen is my fave) and a sprig of greens or there are some beautiful snow berries this time of year. 🍂 Let the kiddos forage outside and put their findings in a pretty bowl and add in a few pumpkins as your ‘centrepiece.’ 🍂 Most of all create meaningful moments....Happy Thanksgiving . . . #thanksgiving #thanksgivingdinner #thanksgivingdecor #tablescapes #tablescape table setting #tabledecor #falldecor
Taking a time out of my usual ‘design feed’ to share inspiration in a new way. Travel, friendship, authentic conversations, exploring and expanding possibilities. So grateful for 3 days in NYC with my friend @desireenielsenrd . We walked, talked and ate our way through this fabulous city. I admit that the last few months left me stretched in many ways. Getting out of my head, saying yes to adventures and sharing where I’m at is really the way back to myself. And side note...I know I sort of look like inspector gadget in this photo 🤣💗 . . . #newyork #newyorkcity #design
I’m currently ‘camping out’ on the floor with my kiddos while we get settled. Makes me realize how having a bedroom you love is SO important! I have so many styling ideas (this is definitely my favourite part of design!). Add items you love like beautiful bedding, a candle, fresh flowers, lovely lighting. Throwing it back today to this past bedroom project. Now to the unpacking I go 🤪 Design: @karladreyerdesign Photo: @pineconecamp Published: @styleathome . . . . #bedroomdecor #bedroom #bedroomideas #bedroomstyling #interiordesign #styling karladreyerdesign #bedding
