Live your style!

I didn’t play with the Dolls, I built their doll houses. As long as I can remember, I wanted to construct and make things beautiful, therefore it is not by accident that today, I am an award winning interior designer. [ Read More ]

Project Millidgeville The Kitchen ✨There are many paths one can take to transform a kitchen, it all depends on your budget and knowing the difference between your needs and wants.
✨For Project Milledgeville, we kept the expense in check by utilizing the current footprint, it worked for my client, she had no issues with the layout just the style. ✨To bring the kitchen to an updated style, we refaced the cupboard doors and drawers with a classic white shaker. We removed the laminate countertop and invested in a beautiful Calcutta gold quartz. My client had another stone in mind but I felt if I could give her “a look/ that perfect design ” she would come to my side . ✨The presentation was simple , clean classic design but include a few features that would set the kitchen apart from a standard white kitchen. I chose gold accent lighting along with correlating kitchen hardware and a beautiful Delta Trinsic gold finish faucet.
✨We removed the bank of uppers over the peninsula and incorporated a counter to ceiling wall of beautiful scalloped white tile pattern. To cap off this feature wall we created two solid maple floating shelves to align with the new kitchen hardwood floor . We took the hardwood right from the living room into the dining room and kitchen, seamless warm hardwood throughout is so beautiful. ✨New appliances and under cabinet lighting top off this transformation.I mean seriously what a transformation, money well spent on those items that bring the WOW but more importantly my client is in LOVE with the transformation.
✨I can’t wait till she gets to experience it in person and begin entertaining guests in her new home.
✨Pop the champagne and make some lasting memories in your new home Daphne!!! Big shout out to Peter Papas and his construction team for bringing the vision to reality!

Just in case you are considering hiring us ....this recent testimonial might be of interest... #gratefulheart
#testimonialtuesday “Lori Clarke has been fantastic to work with. We had a tricky renovation because I couldn’t be there so I had to rely on Lori to keep me informed and updated. She was unbelievably wonderful to work with —professional, knowledgeable and completely trustworthy. She gave me excellent design advice and was able to bring to life a home I can’t wait to live in! She understood the kind of home I wanted and was able to translate my style and make it reality”

Project Milledgeville - The Back Story ✨The Client has NOT even SEEN, in person, the renovation, 4 months of construction and she hasn’t set eyes on it, OMG I just love her ! ✨So- I just have to share the story behind this project with you. I wrote a blog in February 2019 , how to renovate a kitchen without breaking the bank, see below link:
https://www.loriclarkeinteriors.com/renovate-your-kitchen/
✨The blog caught the attention of a lady in Wolfville NS. She was considering a new home purchase in Saint John NB. Once she purchased her home in the summer of 2019 , she reached out to me. Lori is it possible for you living in Fredericton to help me design my new home? I live in Wolfville, you in Fredericton and I suspect the contractor will be in Saint John. ✨If you know me at all, well let's just say ...I think my parents should have used " challenge" as my middle name, there is nothing that spurs my interest more than a challenge and I had one in front of me with Project Milledgeville.
✨The team met the first of July and started the plans immediately. we had a budget to respect and after a month of planning we had a start date for mid-August. ✨My client had specific ideas of her wants and needs and we had to , like most renovations, shave some of the wants off the list and ensure all the needs were met so that we could stay close to budget. ✨My client and I skyped on a regular basis, we had some great laughs along the way , remember she was in another province during the entire Reno!
✨I had some wonderful help from my good friend Beth Dewar who lives in Saint John and she was able to be on site so face time was my friend when those little issues popped up…
✨I still LOL when I think she has yet to see the final product in person.Anyway, for now here are a few pictures of the transformation of her living room.
✨New built-in , we utilized the previous propane fireplace and I designed a unit to work with her TV, and notice no cupboard doors, , all drawers for storage and easy access. As an avid reader the built-in includes ample space for her collection of books.

WOWSA!

It's a BIG day for us at Lori Clarke Interior Design Inc. * We got PUBLISHED in a magazine 🙂 * A little back story ... early in the summer I was contacted by one of the writers for East Coast Living Magazine. He was wondering if I would like to collaborate with other Atlantic Designers (one designer per province) on a story for their Fall edition. I was delighted to get the call and I must say even more so to collaborate with designers from NS and NFLD. * I never set out on this business journey to get my work recognized in a magazine but... this is pretty darn cool.
*None of this would even happen if it was not for the trust of our client’s and to all of you who take the time to follow the journey with us every week. * I am humbled and excited and I just want you to know I will probably buy out every subscription in the Fredericton area :)
* BIG Shout Out to my guy Chris Griffiths @bangonphoto . I have been working with Chris since 2014 he never disappoints. The photos look pretty awesome in print 🙂

Have an great week everyone and see link in bio 😎
