Pure Bread ... Pure Gold.

Well, that was definitely a wet weekend!  When the weather turns it really makes me want to bake, unfortunately, with all raining this weekend it also makes me want to hibernate.  Instead of productively baking I went to a bakery.  PURE BREAD in Whistler is a small artisan style bakery offering great freshly made bread, and some of the most delicious looking and tasting treats you'll ever find.  KCD discovered this sweet tooth's gem while finishing up a job in whistler, and the entire team fell in love with their baked goods. We suggest the drool worthy salted caramel shortbread bar!, its as good as it sounds, shortbread base, with salted caramel center with a dark chocolate top!  So before you head home after a day of skiing make a point of stopping in function junction and load up for the trip home.  



One of each please.

Ask your Designer, Question number 1.

Wow! thanks for the great response in regards to our "ask your designer" section!  There were some really great questions, we really had to put on our thinking caps.  Our first question comes from Beth S. from North Vancouver, she writes;

"My house has been on the market for the past few weeks without any attention.  Can you give me some points to attract potential home buyers."

Here are our top three tips to encourage a quick sale for any house on the real estate market;

1. A Fresh coat of paint!- Try painting the interior of your house with a great neutral color.  We really like to use Benjamin Moore's Winds Breath or Classic Grey .
Neutrals are safe bets as they rarely offend potential buyers, try to avoid vibrant, shocking colors.


2.  Fight your instinct in making your space feel personal - removing any personal items allows potential buyers to picture themselves in the space. Arranging furniture to highlight any architectural pieces, (eg. fireplaces, built in book shelves),  will add visual interest to the space, and help fill the void left by omitting personal items.
Remember - your staging for others, not yourself.

3. Consider hiring a Designer for an in home consultation.  A good Designer will be able to give you advice such as which furniture pieces would work, and can provide cost effective advice which will ensure a quick sale.

Here is recent staging work that we've completed:
