BC Girl. Island Girl. City Girl.

Choosing colour for my childhood bedroom, to rearranging my parents living room, naturally progressed to wallpapering, painting and sewing curtains for a first condo. Moving several times while growing up was opportunity to decorate. I have renovated four of my own homes in the past twelve years.

A love of textiles has been passed down from my tailoress Scottish Grandmother and an appreciation of embroidered details from my English Grandmother's hand stitching, as well as my own talented Mother's sewing and knitting. I grew up choosing fabrics, wools and patterns.

Many trips to visit family in the UK, as well as travel through Western Europe and Northern Africa, have been as influential to my decorating style as living on the West Coast.
Born on Vancouver Island and growing up and living in Greater Vancouver,
I appreciate natural beauty and a city life style. I love living a few blocks from the beach, where I enjoy walking my two dachshunds.

 Experience
For Sam, being a designer combines his lifelong love of architecture, drafting and design with his strong understanding of construction.  Sam has extensive creative and management experience, having worked both as a Manager of Sales Marketing Teams, as well as Creative Director and Director of Product Development.  Sam has attended Trade shows all over the world, including many US states and all over Asia, which has given him an appreciation of a clean aesthetic and classic lines. Sam's work has been featured in House and Home.
 
Interests
Sam grew up in the East Kootneys and has lived with his family in the Fraser Valley for twenty years.. He loves living on the Westcoast and spending his free time with his family and friends and walking his beagle, Cooper. Of course, working on his own home and garden in his spare time. 

 
 
BC Boy. Country Boy. City Boy.
 
Sam's obsession with architecture, building and design started at a very young age while watching his father build an addition to the family home and then build a new home a few years later Drawing his own house plans at age ten and collecting home plan magazines progressed to consistently being at the top of his drafting classes and attending a variety of design courses.
As a teen, summers were spent working for his brother's construction company working as a labourer, gaining a good understanding of all areas of construction literally from the ground up. Sam has decorated many homes over the years and loves sharing his knowlege with clients and helping them bring their vision to life.
