I’m on a highway to… anywhere!

2012/10/16 by agoodchicktoknow

A recent weekend shopping adventure in Seattle had me on the hunt for a new cool find and I finally found one that I just had to share. A perfect coffee table book, “36 hours” gives us just what we we’ve been waiting for – the excuse to get away. It’s time to pack that suitcase and hit the open road: with 150 weekends in the USA and Canada, the possibilities are pretty much endless! From sunset walks along Big […]

Haute Culture

2012/09/21 by agoodchicktoknow

This client was a treat for our team, and a great way to cap off a design-filled Summer. She is fashion-forward, life-loving and inspired by eclectic cultural elements of decor… yet she somehow hadn’t changed the look of her (totally amazing) Yaletown conversion loft since she purchased it as the display suite a few years back. Ergo, she had been living with uber-minimalist style defined by a Barcelona chair, chrome arc lamp and Euro-inspired white leather couch. It was a […]

Fresh Family Fun

2012/09/20 by agoodchicktoknow

This project was a labour of both love and fury; all of us Chicks (and a few extra, very helpful hands) certainly left some blood, sweat and tears on the floor of this space! Our clients purchased the unit in close to it’s original 1910 condition and wanted to create a modern-meets-warm-eclectic family space in which they could grow and nurture their young family. During the course of the renovations and designing, we spent many hours with them discussing ideas, […]

Catch Up Feature: Newlywed, newly-designed

2012/09/19 by agoodchicktoknow

The Chicks heart this space and these clients! The owners of this lovely little condo are recent transplants from The Windy City, Chicago, and are the cutest newlyweds we’ve met. They granted us a lot of creative freedom when working to create a place for them to call home and were open to the idea of bold wall coverings (and, in this space, ceiling coverings!) and vintage elements to conquer the cookie-cutter shell they started with. We brought in the […]

Catch Up Feature: Entertainment Statement

2012/09/18 by agoodchicktoknow

Ok, so way back in the day in May, we gave you a Sneak Peek into this space… it was a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom original condition condo that The Chicks were hired to renovate and stage for sale for the ever-fabulous Dana Propp. As we told you then, the success of this “entertainer’s dream” suite was largely in part due to local artist (and dear friend) Zoe Pawlak, Fluff Rentals and our fave boys to shop with: ReFind and […]

Catch Up Feature: The Urban [un]Bachelor Pad

2012/09/17 by agoodchicktoknow

Wow, as the old saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun”… and that’s exactly how this Summer has been for The Chicks! We’ve been (gleefully) up to our eyeballs in fabulous projects – happily shopping and designing our butts off. However, it’s made us truant in blogging! We have a few fab Catch Up Features to share with you, a photo log of what we’ve been up to for the past few months! We hope you love the spaces, […]

Shop Talk: the found and the freed

2012/08/07 by agoodchicktoknow

courtesy of Chelsea Jackson… This week I visited the lovely ladies at The Found and The Freed [pop up shop] in Gastown for a short Q&A to sneak some insight into their creative minds and finds. I fell in love with every piece as soon as I walked through the door – this store is nothing like what you’ll find in Vancouver, it’s truly a gem. I had a great time chatting with the “Founders”, Lindsay and Ainsley, and I  hope […]

Chicks at Home: a Houzz feature and a DIY

2012/06/12 by agoodchicktoknow

I was recently approached by the lovely Megan Buchanan, of Cedar + Gray, to showcase my home as a feature property on Houzz. Super stoked to open my home to her, and of course extremely flattered at the suggestion, I realized that I had a few fun things I wanted to get done to my space before Megan (and her camera) arrived. So in true Chicks fashion, the girls got to work, put our creative minds together, and came up […]

Fashion Friday: Caviar Nails

2012/06/08 by agoodchicktoknow

I’ll have the strawberry milkshake with sprinkles, please! New to the beauty shelves are the “caviar” nail collections from Ciaté, giving us a whole ‘nother set of fresh possibilities for our digits. It was no surprise that this avant-garde/runway inspired product was designed in London, a hotbed for fab creations. It’s sadly sold out city-wide, but you can still try them this weekend! Sephora at Pacific Centre is having a nail event, today (Friday) and Saturday — June 8th and […]
