How to Make a Mirror Collage Wall
A recent visit
to the Art Cafe on Monkey Forest Road in Ubud inspired me to share a post about one of my favourite types of decor – mirror collage!
I have recently moved to Bali, and I admit, it is beyond wonderful! Sure, there are overwhelming moments (like being kicked out of a hotel room within the hour to accomodate a forgotten booking) and downright frustrating moments (like taking a... Read More
How to Choose the Right White Wall Paint
I love what white walls can do for a space
so it’s no surprise that WHITE became the colour of choice for my client’s beachfront condo walls. Why? Why not!? White is neutral, clean, crisp and relaxing. It does not distract from the beautiful view of the ocean, and can remain pretty timeless. AND, in a tropical setting, white remains a constant sense of coolness that keeps mind and... Read More
TLC Design & Decor – White and Wood Beach Condo
Remember last week’s post
when I said this week’s post would be all about choosing white wall paint? Well, I lied (but I didn’t mean to). I just couldn’t wait any longer and had to share the AFTER photos of the beachfront condo in Panama that I completed a couple of weeks ago for my lovely clients.
Being a beachfront condo, I wanted to keep the space feeling light, fresh... Read More
TLC Design & Decor – More Beachfront Condos to Come!
Wow.
The last few months have been beyond busy for me, and as a result, poor Passport To Design has seen little activity! Well, that’s going to change now that life is back to a regular pace.
Wondering what I spent the last 60 days obsessing over? Two beach front condos that my lovely clients (and truly, they are so very lovely and wonderful to work with) purchased in the same building.... Read More
DIY Up-cycled Painted Dresser
Thank you for all the positive feedback
on my first ever DIY post a couple weeks back. You have convinced me that I should share my SECOND ever DIY project today :)
As you know from the previous post, I was helping my mother in law update her “blah” guest bedroom over the holidays. She wanted to create an inviting space with a cool colour scheme and contemporary furnishings.
The... Read More
Cheap Decorating Tips for a Guest Bedroom Revamp
At the risk of
sounding like I’m living in the past, I’m going to reference the 2011 holiday season again…but ONLY because I have so much to share with you that I haven’t yet had a chance to post :)
As you may know, I was busy making some changes on-the-cheap to my mother in law’s guest bedroom (stay tuned for a tutorial next week on the painted dresser in the... Read More
DIY Bathroom Mirror Frame Project
My dear readers,
I apologize for the lack of excitement around Passport To Design lately! Since my previous post in 2011, I have returned to Panama and have been wrapped up in a wonderful design project that I hope to share with you soon. Needless to say, my absence is a result of my lack of spare time, but I haven’t forgotten about you! My posts over the next few weeks may be pretty... Read More
Holiday Decor in NYC
I have visited The Big Apple
four times. While each trip was more memorable than the last, the most recent jaunt will stand out in my mind forever because it’s the first trip I’ve ever taken during the holidays that didn’t include a beach and lots of sunscreen; AND, it was a long overdue mother-daughter trip.
My mumsie and I had such a great time walking the (cold and rainy)... Read More
I Love Zebrawood!
I love the design process.
Every step is so important, and in my eyes, equally fun (ok, fine, except for budgeting) but one of my FAVOURITE steps is choosing finishes. Finishes can really make or break a space – they can elevate a boring design to top-notch level, or help tone down an extravagant design. I love how finishes can come together to make a space truly special, and lately, I... Read More
All White Interior Design
Lately, I’ve been scouring
all my inspirational photos in search of all-white interior design examples. While shuffling ideas around for a new design concept for a client, I thought I would explore the “all white” look.
An all-white interior (a.k.a. an Achromatic interior) has the potential to be dreadfully boring, BUT, it can also be very soothing and interesting, as long as... Read More
