DLD’s latest project in Muskoka. This 1970’s

DLD’s latest project in Muskoka.

This 1970’s cottage was built wayyyy ahead of its time. Contemporary, cool and the details are out of this world.

We will be giving this incredible space a complete refresh. The tricky part is still keeping the integrity of this unique space, just amplifying it’s beauty, and freshening it up.

Life has been go, go, go these last 3 months. It’s been wild for anyone who’s working with me right now. Trades + clients, thank you for being so incredibly supportive. You’re the best ❤️

Our furry “kids” are the most loving, non judgmental + comforting part of this pandemic.

A cuddle when you’re needing some love. A lick across the face for a reminder your are important, and endless laughs on how terrifying 🍯 🐻 is to the Amazon delivery guys.

We love our Mo + Honey and they love us. Happy #nationalpetday to our furry babies.

A formal dining space that still feels approachabl

A formal dining space that still feels approachable. It’s a fine balance between materials, fixtures and drama!

I get to visit this space tomorrow. I’m SO EXCITED. It’s been over a year since my last walk through.

My kids bathroom this morning 🪝 We have lots

My kids bathroom this morning 🪝

We have lots of windows in our home. Not large ones, as it’s an older Toronto home. But every room has at least one window, which really helps with keeping things light + fresh!

I designed this bathroom 5 years ago, and it’s still looking as great as it did back then! Even though it’s a kids space, I wanted it to still feel sophisticated, therefore I added 2 sconces, an elegant mirror and a dolomite marble floor. These elements help balance the nautical blue and white walls, and fun playful shower curtain!

A few key design choices I made, that I feel make the difference from a finished space, to a designed space.

1. Custom shower curtain. It’s a must. Shower curtains that either sit 20inches off the floor, or from the top are completely unacceptable. I opted for a curtain over glass because of two small babies and wanted full access to them during baths.

2. Marble/stone jambs in the window frame. This window acts are our shower niche. So it was necessary to finish this window in solid marble pieces for a clean, seamless look.

3. Shower head + handheld. You need both. Don’t cut corners and just put a hand held. It helps finish the space and gives it that WOW factor we are all looking for.

There you have it. A few tricks of the trade.

Now go design your bathrooms 🚽 😉

Oversized, beautiful windows frame this gorgeous nook off the kitchen 🖤🤍

We reused the clients existing antique table, and had it refinished in a dark, ebony colour.

Adding the modern grey chairs, and a beautiful black, white and gold fixture helped keep the space looking clean + modern.

And of course, the softening of drapery always helps finish a space 👌🏻

Today I feel H O P E F U L 🙌🏻

For so many reasons. But this memory popped up and made me teary eyed.

2 years ago TODAY, my husband @realdavesalmoni gave me this desk. He made it for me, so I can focus on building my business.

Today, I realized that without my husbands constant support, I wouldn’t be where I am now. This desk has done me well, Dave. Every time I sit at it, I think about how lucky I am to have you ❤️

Dave engraved a small part of his vows in it “tying your shoes, so you can chase your dreams”.... cue the waterworks....

Well Dave, this desk has done just that!

DebraLillianDesign has really taken off these past few years. I’ve hired 3 incredibly talented woman, we have 20 plus projects in the books for 2021, and we have dozens of projects to be photographed so we can showcase our hard work!

We aren’t slowing down...We are just getting started!

Building. Designing. Creating.

Crisp white cabinetry with gold accents. You can

Crisp white cabinetry with gold accents.

You can never go wrong.

I L O V E to switch up door profiles when designing a kitchen. This kitchen has a mix of flat panel drawers, and shaker panel doors.

These details are subtle, but they are so important to create interest, and keep the design looking fresh, timeless + unique.

Another way of achieving this is by mixing metals. Gold + stainless. Find that perfect balance so it looks intentional and seamless.

Design tip: If you’re designing a clean + modern bathroom, consider using a graphic floor tile with a boarder!

Its a subtle way to create dimension + interest, while still achieving that minimalist vibe you’re going for.

How are YOU feeling?

Today’s blue Monday, we are in a pandemic and we are forbidden to see friends & family.

Yesterday I was OVER it all. I just want “normal” back. So I worked out, meditated and “reset” my mind frame.

Today, I’ll do my hair and make up. Focus on things I can control, and get through it hour by hour; not overwhelm myself.

Please reach out to someone who maybe struggling, call #211 if you need someone to talk to and try to stay positive. The world needs more YOU.

@studiomcgee asked what meaningful artwork is....To me, it’s family pictures + gallery walls showcasing beautiful moments captured by the person behind the lens.

In December I did some updating in my own home. This is my dining room. Im so in love with this transformation ❤️
