Happy St Patrick’s day! The luck of the Irish had nothing to do with this fabulous kitchen I created for my clients that was featured by @houseandhomemag as kitchen of the month. This luck came from Brazil in the form of the stone slabs that inspired us to go green in a big way. Some folks might be green with envy and they should be because in this case the grass is greener on the other side. #stpatricksday #greengoddess #kitchendesign #greenkitchen #halifaxdesigner #chesterdesigner #novascotiandesigner (at Truro, Nova Scotia)

After and before of a gut- renovation primary ensuite. A dated corner tub was removed and a more reasonable free standing tub takes centre stage. #renovation #transformation #makeovermonday #halifaxdesigner #chesterdesigner #novascotiahomes (at Halifax, Nova Scotia)

My new front door has finally arrived and I couldn’t be happier. From concept to design to install it’s been over a year. Handmade custom glass from Germany in the diamonds. Mouth blown glass from New Brunswick in the rounds of the transom. Door made of mahogany on the south shore of Nova Scotia.

Unexpected combinations of pattern, colour and styles make a room more inviting and interesting. A client’s personality comes through with personal items and collections.

Cannot wait for this custom waterproof wallpaper to go up @chestnut_cottage_chester Arrived from Italy hours before the hurricane. So thankful to still have walls to put it on. I took an 1840’s etching of an Amazonian river and had it reproduced to wrap around the entire bathroom above the marble wainscotting. #bathroom #bathroomdesign #custommade #novascotiadesigner #renovations. @jonathanlegate #jonathanlegate (at Chester, Nova Scotia)

10 years ago in the Hamptons. A summer tradition that’s been on hold for a while now. Hard to go anywhere when you already live in a story book. #chesternovascotia #hamptons #longisland

The “boathouse” addition is finally taking shape. The massive fireplace is almost complete inside then floors and cabinets. Custom furniture is waiting in the sidelines to fill this space beautifully. #hermansisland #novascotia #maritimes #designer #jonathanlegate (at Herman’s Island, Nova Scotia)
