an edesign after | I love this space

Pamela's home is one I could walk right into and continue to live my life just like I do. Her tastes are so similar to mine, and we love the same mix of elements. Her home was an absolute joy to work on.. have a peek at the afters as she is making amazing progress adding the finishing details-

( that is so a part of e design I love so much..once you have all the elements that we've talked about and have been added virtually to your space, you purchase and add them as you can and as budget allows! )

Pamela's front room is right off her entry and is a little more of a formal sitting room-


ahh I love this SO much-


She was lacking a defined entry so we added a narrow console to act as a spot to pop your keys and mail, and it plays into the living room so wonderfully-






by adding two slip covered chairs to her existing dining room furniture added some softness and made it really inviting-





umm, does a kitchen get much better than this?! We added two amazing lamps to flank the sink and wow do they add alot of character and interest to an ( already amazing ) space!

At the opposite end of the house is a family room that is a little more playful, colorful and cozy. Great pillows, monograms, a cozy rug and marble topped table invite the family to hang out, the kids to play and completes such an amazing living space!

design philosophy | providing a foundation to grow and alter through the years, I keep the core basic and layer in the current, creating a room that is innately yours. I believe great interiors are not found in one shop. I know you should feel a sense of calm in your space as well as balance, and revel in that gut feeling that it’s the right fit. DESIGN SERVICES start at only 10.00. See Sarah Swanson Design at the top left of this blog!

marble please

I'm gathering proof for my dear husband, (who spent the whole day today installing our new delta touch faucet and brand new quartz sink that he picked out and surprised me with, thanks honey )that updating our black subway tiles to marble would be a great look. We have creamy white cabinets and black counter tops. Have a look-










What do you think? I loved the black, but after 3 years I'd love just a little update!

marble?

dear friends,
I know you are going to have an opinion, so I am basing mine on yours-
We are going to update our kitchen island counter top. We have a lovely friend who owns a fabulous granite shop in Cranbrook BC. I want carrera marble, he advises that I will hate him for the rest of my life if I decide to get it. He has suggested a beautiful granite that is white based. ( it's also lovely ) I still want the marble. Is it THAT bad in the kitchen? It's just a plain slab island. Advise. ( please )



oh, the rest of the counter tops are black ( for now ). The island is dark wood and the cupboards on the perimeter are creamy white. Photo here if your inclined to look. ( keep in mind the picture was taken in December, LOTS has changed since then )
