LIFE
This is me carrying a huge roll of wallpaper down Yonge street this morning. This photo was taken before I tripped over my feet and fell hitting the person walking beside me who then gave me a dirty look instead of helping me back up. Life of glamour. Mary Be's Cabbages are going up tomorrow!

Palm Lane is ready and open for business. Still blows my mind to see my brain on the walls.
// Darling, Issue No. 21
Just received Darling's newest fall issue! CKD covers two pages alongside Estee Lalonde. Pretty surreal. This issue is stunning. Darling left every photo of the women in this issue untouched (meaning photoshoped). I'm down with the Darling movement, have been for a while. Honoured to be apart of it.

One of the first things I do when walking into a hotel room is check the closet for their big white comfy bathrobes. The ladies and I spent last weekend in Vegas at the Wynn. I know, not the best time to go to Vegas. Tina had a conference to attend, and we had no plans on leaving the hotel. Aside from the Wynn's magical beds and bathrobes - life in CKD land has been a little busy. Mary Be's cabbages go up next week, Collection N 33 is officially here, skateboard decks are coming, and a collaboration with the talented Rustik Design is happening. Oh, and there's something new in the works - aside from CKD and wallpaper - a brand new company. Also, Chance the Rapper has been on replay all week in the studio. K back to work, just saying hi. x -C

Collection N 33 is live! There's a lot more white than I anticipated, but I like the way it turned out. See the full collection here! x -C

3D wallpaper has been a goal of mine since I started designing wallpaper. I speak about it all the time to whomever would listen. Durning my shoot with Ilich Charles mentioned his friend Anthony does incredible work that sounds like something I would be interested in. Charles was right. Look at that beauty. All crafted by hand. We have some really cool ideas for collaborating that I can't wait to see come to life! God, life is so exciting sometimes.

Spending the night on a boat made me want to get my boating license. There's nothing I love more than a night spent in cozy clothes on the water. The jet lag from London woke me up at 6 am to catch the sunrise. If Chrissy and I could figure out how to use the coffee maker it would have been the absolute perfect moment. I'll settle for perfect. I just poured myself a glass of whiskey and opened photoshop to Collection N 33. It feels good to be back in the studio. Which has mostly consisted of me laying on the floor listening to country music dreaming up new prints. So far I've learned all the words to "Small Town Boy", and have fallen in love with Dustin Lynch. Went by Yorkville Village to see Palm Lane. The newest ckd is looking just great on their walls. Palm Lane is Toronto's newest salad bar concept. K, that's all back to work. x -C

Collection N 33 inspired by summer 2017. It's coming very soon!

Back in the studio, up since 6 am because of the jet lag. Here are some photos found on my Nikon. I'm happy to be back. CKD has some exciting projects coming up in the next couple months. Phone on silent, music blasting, and coffee refilled. It's time to get to work. x -C
