our fabulous temporary home

This 150 year old, 3 story, stone house has really great old details and the owners have really great stuff. Check it out.

• the original door, knob and detailing - even a keyhole cover


• inlaid flooring


• a servant bell from back in the day


• the most elaborate crown moldings I have ever seen


• the view from our room on the second floor


• the most beautiful old grandfather clock


• the skylight and light fixture above the stairs


• staircase with gorgeous railing


• intricate tile floor in the entrance


• I absolutely LOVE that they still use keys like this :)


• a collection of blue and white ceramics


• kitchen art


• backyard garden (I'll take some outside shots if/when it stops raining


• one of 3 gorgeous fireplaces in the house. This one is my fave because of the detailed tiles


• upright piano


• the sun room - I covet a room like this for myself someday






The last 3 are of the sun room, which is where I'm headed now to spend the rest of this rainy day sitting, drawing and drinking tea.

our house is now for sale

Since the last time I wrote we have been busily cleaning, packing and fixing up our house. Even though the real estate market isn't very good right now, we're going to try to sell it. It really is a fantastic old house with lots of character in a great neighborhood and hopefully someone out there will think so too.

Here's some shots of the inside:

Housing Handbook - printed copy

Here's the cover of the Saskatoon Housing Handbook that I illustrated back in April.

Housing Guide cover

Here's the final of the Saskatoon Housing Guide cover. The space at the top and bottom is for text.



I also did a black and white line version to use as a spot drawing on the inside.

Housing Guide sketch

In April I illustrated a cover for the Saskatoon Housing Guide. This is the sketch. It was art directed by Michelle Boulton.
