Spring Cleaning: Clutter Free

As warmer weather rolls around, we’re all excited to get rid of heavy winter coats, clunky boots and hats, scarves, mittens that are so hard to keep track of.  Why not take it one step further and put your home through the spring filter as well?  So many things weigh us down and cause stress – it’s important to realize what they are and take the time to decide what’s worth it and what isn’t.  Something that can definitely help is going through your stuff to figure out what you should keep and what can go.  This is a great exercise to prepare you to tackle those tougher problems :)

Casa Condo: 430 sqft

Casa Condo

*Bachelor unit, 430 sqft.

*Client: 18 year old male student

*Budget: $15K

*This small bachelor unit was home to a young, male student, whose parents visited from Ottawa frequently. Instead of renting in student residence his parents thought it would be a much better idea to invest in a small unit downtown.  Because the space was so minimal we had to use a lot of multifunctional, custom furniture to suite all of his needs and keep it cost effective to come within budget.  

Look/style:

Sleek, clean and organized with a modern design and a neutral pallet.  Thinking of adding to the re-sale value in the future

Function:

Sleeping for up to 4 people, home office, expanded kitchen and eating space. Extra storage solutions.

This Season's Colour: Orange

We already told you pastels are in this year, which is why we painted our showroom wall a gorgeous mint.  Another colour you can add to your summer is orange!  This fun, bright hue always reminds me of being outdoors, enjoying the sun.  And the best part  - it goes so well with blue mint!  Here, I've put together a retro mint and orange office:

All products are available at Condobox (Macbook excluded)!

Mad Men Makeover!

Have you been watching the 5th season? I have been. I can't say I'm super struck by this season's plot-line - but I do love that distinct 1960's style.
