5 trends that defined our LA Design Tour

It’s been a little while since we landed back in Vancouver from our design sojourn in La La Land, but our brains are still buzzing with inspiration. We had such a great time with our design tour participants too! Each time we go to LA we make sure to explore new spaces and uncover what’s emerging in west coast design.

Spring: Prepping the Deck

Prepping the DeckWhether you have a wood or concrete deck or patio it does take a little preparation and elbow grease to get it all ready for summer.
