// FLOWER PICKING AT 12 AM

// new york 

I landed in New York to a message from my client asking if we could meet for a potential new opening just outside of the city - that is to open in two weeks. I told her I literally just landed in New York - what are the odds. That can pretty much sum up rest of the week. Serendipitous run-ins, dinners with new friends and hot a sweaty afternoon at the new Dumbo House, which is beautiful by the way. Back in the studio now working a couple new projects coming up! K, back to work x 

// HUGE

CKD takes on HUGE boardrooms! We've approved sample yesterday and ready for production. The design is something I've never done before. I can't wait to show you ittttttt.

ALSO Bolo will open its door to the new location in the next couple weeks. If you enjoy grabbing a coffee at a cafe, working out, then getting a blow-out on your way out then you're going to love this new location. Caleigh is going all out. 

// BOLO NEW LOCATION & STUFF

// 

BOLO's full production has arrived to the studio. We did three custom prints with them. Above is BOLO's print three. Inspired by old boxing posters we cleaned up the look and made them look chic. Very excited for Caleigh and her team to get this new location up and running. It's going to be sick. Below is full production of Collection N 44's silver rustic with white butterfly ready to go up in a powder room! 

// FLOOR 11

//

Eleven floors up at the Shangri-La to meet the ladies for Danielle's 30th birthday. We ended the night one too many cocktails deep and woke up with hangovers Saturday morning. I can't believe we are all turning 30 this year. In other news, it finally feels like summer. I was on my usual clear-my-mind-country-drive when I drove by the cutest antique bookstore. I spent the rest of the day sitting on their dusty floor in heaven looking through as much as I possibility could. Serendipitous run-in actually - I got into my car frustrated because I was stuck on a concept. Took the wrong turn and bam came across the perfect place for inspiration. 

Three personalized skate decks have finally arrived to London, England. I'm in the middle of designing some more + putting up a shop. That should be ready in the next month or so! The Lake Joe cottage design is all done. I loveeeee how this turned out. Just have to approve those samples. And that's about it! Just saying hi. x -C

// NEW CUSTOM

//

It's been non-stop in the studio lately. There are a couple really fun projects in the works. Here's the first custom piece going up on cottage wall on Lake Joseph. Samples are in production. Can't wait! 

// PHARRELL IN PLANTA

// Lately

Lately: So Pharrell Williams was at Planta Miami. He snapped about it. I got excited and screenshot it - then reposted it. He is one of my favourites and hope to one day work with him. I pretty much met him. He had to walk by the wallpaper at some point right? Besides that nothing else really matters. Kidding. It’s been a busy couple weeks since I got back from LA. Meghan and Harry got married, I was in florida with the fam for a little. Finally got to see Planta Miami for myself. Got no work done, because kids don't let you. The juice bar is printed and ready to go up, BOLO approved their third print. The new BOLO location should be opening in July! The ballroom approved their print and we will be wrapping their bathrooms stalls. I’ve been wanting to try this for some time now, so i’m excited to see how it turns out. CKD has two more custom rugs sent off for production. We’ve approved samples, excited to see these life size. Mmm I get paint all over my arms when I paint. How is still a mystery to me. We ate at IHop. I may or may not be getting into jewelry design again :) And Planta Toronto has made a life size hoarding of my print at Bay and Bloor. Bucket list stuff right there. K that's all! Happy Friday! x -C
