Nicole's Portrait

What fun we had today when we picked up Nicole's portrait. She is such a precious little pet (all four pounds of her). She never fails to make everyone smile. Her signature trait is her tongue which perpetually hangs out. Pamela Hudson is the artist that did this piece. She even put real crinoline fabric on the painting.

YAM Magazine - INTERIOR COUTURE with Patricia Gray

I just found out that I got the front cover on YAM Magazine; the article titled Interior Coture. Thank-you Ivan Meade for writing such a great article and Joshua Lawrence for the photography.

If Canada has a celebrity among interior designers, it is Patricia Gray, the designer of choice for stars like John Travolta — and the woman whose approach to design can best be described as couture. Only the rarest of interior designers develops the kind of signature style that seems to come so naturally to Vancouver’s Patricia Gray. It’s a style which, over a three-decade career, has won her accolades, awards, and features in prestigious magazines like Architectural Digest. Nowhere is Gray’s signature style showcased more naturally than in her eight-story Alberni Street live/work townhome. Here, the vibe is cosmopolitan but there’s no clinical showroom sensibility — this space is designed for living beautifully.

Gray is one of those creatives whose design sensibilities seem to have evolved seamlessly from traditional to contemporary, never bowing to trendiness but always seeming au courant. Gray doesn’t do trends; she sets trends. She even creates fine art for her clients and produces custom furniture through her own millwork company, upholstery workroom, and drapery workroom. As the daughter of a couture seamstress, is it any wonder Gray describes her approach to interior design as couture? And yes, if these rooms could walk, they would be on the world’s most fashionable runways........continued Interior CoutureInterior Couture

Patricia Gray's Tips for Making Colour Work in Your Interior

 
Don't be afraid to use colour. Have fun and use colours you love in the accessories,  
which don't cost a lot to change out. If possible, change them seasonally to keep 
        your interiors fresh.  

 White is a wonderful colour for kitchens. Just as simple white plates are a beautiful 
 way to display food, everything looks delicious against white counters, cabinets and 
        walls.    
 Before you commit to a colour, try many. Buy sample pots and large poster boards 
 and paint the boards. Move them around the room so you can see how the colours 
        change in different light depending on the time of day. 
Two perfect blues: Heaven on Earth and Under the Big Top, both by Benjamin
Moore. 
 Choose original artwork you love and then look to that artwork to create layers of 
 colour. Pull different shades and vary them in throw pillows, accessories like blown 
        glass, flowers and fruit.  
 Keep accent colours in a single family for a unified, sophisticated result. Editing is a part of the process.  With too many objects in a room, you don't appreciate any one thing.

Patricia Gray Shaw TV Interview

Patricia Gray Shaw TV Interview 

What a week we had. Last Friday I was contacted by Shaw TV to be featured on a segment on their Dream Homes show. Tuesday morning Shaw TV showed up with camera crew and shot for three and a half hours to get approximately four minutes of air time. Although it was quite exhausting with many retakes it was a lot of fun and the weather that day was perfect. Here is the link for the preview of the segment as it aired on Shaw TV Channel 4 yesterday. There will be a another segment airing next week. Stay tuned!!!
