// ME MYSELF AND I

//

It’s been a while since I’ve been alone for a long period of time. The last time I was in this position I just moved to New York. I’m finally feeling at home here. I am really enjoying the solitude and space to move freely, open to every opportunity that comes my way. It’s remarkable the things you can learn about yourself when you sit still and allow yourself to just be with yourself. So much came to the surface for me that surprised me. Instead of pushing the feelings aside, I sat with them… and talked to myself a lot lol. But I figured it out, on my own. And the process has been really nice. I’ve sat at dinner alone a lot. Finding low key beach bars and listening to music with the smell of the ocean.

I joined Anatomy gym in Miami, and invested in a personal trainer. I always wanted to learn how to properly weight train and I am really loving it. The new projects are going well and I met some really great new people! I’m feeling hopeful for whats to come. What is to come is completely different than I ever could have imagined, but that’s how it goes right. K, got to go, chat soon. x C

Hello from Florida :) I’ve relocated for a bit to take care of some projects happening here. Planta West Palm Beach has opened! I love the way the new wallpaper turned out! I worked very closely with iCrave and Steven with this print. We wanted to evolve past the banana leaves into something that was sexy, fun, light and fresh. The space really does look beautiful. Kayla is here! We have some fun projects we are working on, excited to get those moving. Anyways, just wanted to stop by and say hi! xx C

// TINY BREAKTHROUGHS

//

I took this photo while in Quebec shooting our third one of one rug drop. I remember feeling tired. I remember feeling excited and hopeful for my future. I also remember feeling anxious and scared. I love to set my own timelines for when I believe or want things to happen. I forget that the timeline is not mine to make. The universe doesn’t know what the month of March means, or the word Wednesday. It moves at its own divine timing setting things up behind the scenes, only asking for patience in return. Trusting that and keeping the faith is hard. And frustrating. And annoying. While learning how to sit in this uncomfortable space life will gift tiny breakthroughs. I used to think of the word “breakthrough” as this huge shift and grand moment of doors opening bringing in all the wishes you had in front of you. Breakthrough is what we are patient for what we have been waiting for, right? Although I do believe that exists, I now also believe in tiny breakthroughs. I’ve started to sit with myself and ask myself the advice I am seeking before seeking the advice externally. As my business grows the decisions I make have a little more weight to them and it’s scary sometimes. I had to go through something recently and I decided to do it alone - for the first time I did not get reassurance, advice or an opinion. I decided and acted on what I intuitively knew was right. And you know what it was easy and actually extremely liberating. In that moment I felt a shift, a change of perspective, a tiny breakthrough. We are the only ones in our way. Sometimes it’s important to do it alone and prove to that side of you that says “you can’t” that you can, and are so capable. x C

// ON-SITE

//

It felt so nice to be on-site for a client meeting. I can’t wait to put CKD up on the walls! We might be doing Apples from Open Air in her kitchen. It’s how I envisioned Apples in a home.

We were asked to do a bespoke colour way from our one of one rug concept. We sourced this beautiful rug from Pakistan and customized the flowers to match the pink. Really love how it turned out!

// SATURDAY AT THE CABIN

//

CKD’s newest campaign for newest rug drop. Candice at the cabin :) Coming soon.

// SUNDAY ON THE COUCH

//

It’s been 7 day work weeks lately. The work life balance really doesn’t exist with covid. CKD has some fun projects coming up that I’m excited to finally launch and see open! It’s March, and what feels like the final count down until we can open up again and get life back. Greystones in Orangeville is finally open. I worked with Solid Interiors with this project. This bar is magic. CKD has a new rug drop coming soon! I am going to shoot the rugs this week. I’m currently curled up on the couch with my duvet as my throw blanket. Excited to sit here have a glass of wine and answer some emails. Hope you had a wonderful Sunday.

// OPEN AIR COLLECTION

//

Open Air Collection launched with 3D artist Alyssa Ramstetter. We built CKD’s dream house in the mountains. Dusk to night in our new Moon. Daytime featuring our new Apples print. We paired our Loose Wave Rug with the space, and added books and photographs of the fam to make this space feel more homey. See our full collection here.

Some of my favourite images from Kelowna, BC. What an adorable town. It has suchhh a cool vibe. I loved the chill low key laid back lifestyle. We skied, we worked, went on hikes, and met some really great people. It felt nice to sit at a bar after a long day. I can’t wait to go back in the spring. The mountains and wineries and dinners overlooking the beautiful lakes, Canada is such a beautiful place.
