LIFE
// 20 Wellington
Install day at 20 Wellington. I’m really happy with the way this mural turned out. Tuscan fantasy was the direction I was given. Oversized fish and octopus, a magical floating window, Tuscan sun, white butterflies and oversized lemons was what CKD came up with. Can’t wait to see this space when it’s done. Studio Munge have beautiful plans.
// Location: Toronto
CKD’s newest bespoke project is going up in Cantina Mercatto at 20 Wellington. This is CKD’s biggest project yet. Here’s a little sneak peek into what we’ve been working on. More next week. Happy weekend. x

Ballroom’s bespoke print is up! We also wrapped the doors! This print was really fun create. Love the way it turned out. We are wrapping their stalls next!
// CKD RUGS
CKD rug has landed from India and it’s even more beautiful than I imagined it would be. This rug was designed for a living room. It’s an alternating handspun and mill spun viscose (also known as Bamboo Silk) design to give the tone on tone some movement.
The outlined floral rug I’ve already showed you. Which is going in the front entry way of the same home :) Can’t wait to get these installed! See all CKD rugs here!

Photos I had laying around from New York. I finally got to see the new Maman Nomad location. Elisa covered their espresso machine in the toile print and put the floral on the walls. Looks great! Also if you’re interested in the gelaskins x ckd phone cases those are available here! x

It’s A Rose makes its debut on Property Brothers Season 13 Ep. 4 Katie & Mark have to be my favourite couple. Feeling thankful to be part of their home! Canada this episode will air November 12th!
// Sel Rrose takes over Montauk
A 2.5 hours and you’re out of the city and in beautiful Montauk. Sel Rrose is opening their second location and it’s going to be beautiful. We took the bespoke Sel Rrose print and turned it into six beautiful patio umbrellas. I can’t wait to see them in action.
The rest of the weekend was spent eating some of Montauk’s best seafood. x C
// Nike Sport Pack x Candice Kaye Design
So last week I did this really cool shoot with Nike. And it’s LIVE. And it’s amazing. Nike approached me with their new sport pack launch. They changed the logo and wanted me to put whatever CKD’s mark was inside of it. Obviously I chose the Rose. It represents the story of me moving to New York City with no art training, teaching myself the trade and doing whatever it took to understand the industry. The rose was my ‘if I can master this, I can master the industry’. I’m still working on mastering the industry part though :) Watch the full video on Nike’s IGTV! Or here on my IG. So cool, thank you Nike Toronto for having me. Here’s a little behind the scenes from our shoot day. Eight hours straight of drawing and hand painting - but would do it all over again.
