Excited for a client who’s inspections are around the corner, and can see the drywall at the end of the tunnel…lol. This project is a good lesson in upgrading without tearing the whole house down. Just by removing two walls in the breakfast/family/hall area and updating finishes, the flow and site lines are so improved!! Cant wait to see this one completed…they so deserve it. Time to get shopping ;)

Blinds…check…A/V…check…kitchen dwgs …check…laundry room floor …check…now I know how my clients feel…I am so impatient!
This little area off the kitchen has become one of my favourites because of the light and site lines.
Right now, I am having a dining chair dilemma…textural?…chrome to match barstools?…armchairs?…upholstered?…comfortable?…modern?…something my dad can relate to? Lots of styles work with Live Edge tables…I am looking at either the Nelson Swag leg in white with chrome legs or wicker tub chairs to match existing ones or Klismos style chrome chairs with white leather seats. I’ve also thought of upholstered wing chairs for the ends with the Klismos chairs, but don’t want to obstruct the view. Thoughts?
I think I am leaning towards the Klismos…love the bling!

I have two home facade commissions on my desk at the moment…I love the front of homes; they tell a story about the people who live there, and this home I rendered last year was one of my favourites…back to the drawing board…
Best, Michelle
I love rendering colourful interiors, so you can imagine my delight while rendering this one by Tobi Fairley a couple of years ago…perfectly placed colour and pattern…I love this room.

The Modern Library designed and rendered by Michelle Morelan, 2009
Pamela wanted some guidance creating her own “Modern Library”…hope this helps!! I’ve emailed you the sourcing info for these pieces. Have a great long weekend everyone!! I will be tearing out mouldings for my new laundry room floor to be installed next week :) And enjoying our amazing September weather.
Best, Michelle
Have some fun with the design of your powder room. The lack of steam and the fact that most guests will see it during a visit to your home, makes this little space one of my favorites to design. Shown in three different vernaculars…but sharing detailed tile work and lighting, these petite spaces offer form and function. Oh, what a visit to Ann Sacks can do for you!!

Ever thought of putting your ideas into 3D? Designer Jacquie Cao hired me to draw this kitchen, after she imagined the great nautical lighting, a gourmet stove and fan as the star of the show, a walk in pantry and a great end grain butcher block. She also eliminated some concepts like the cooktop niches and looked at two options for the countertop…wood and marble (I used the same drawing for both, rendering the marble first).
Splashes of coral really make this kitchen pop…great job Jacquie…I am sure your clients are loving it!

Contact me for a 3D drawing of your space…from specification and plan, before construction, and evaluate your decisions early. It will save you money and time.
A chair rendering is a great lesson in proportion, texture, shadow and glare…and you can complete a drawing quickly…layer grays and double up your colour, following the light source.
Two stunning spaces have passed over my desk recently, by two oober talented designers.
