Help Us Plant A Forest This Year!

I am happy to announce that I am now working with Percy John Flooring as their inHouse Designer, and part of my role includes selling flooring. As someone who loves nature and knows the importance of protecting our natural resources, I was inspired to give back with every sale by planting TREES in the name of whoever buys, and also in the name of anyone who refers us a flooring client. Can you…

Our Studio Boutique Featured in Savoteur

  We are super stoked to have been featured in Savoteur, which is a digital magazine celebrating what makes cities rich and unique: the food, music, art, culture, nightlife, style and travel…..and they think we are cool enough to be a part of that, yeppee!

Last year, I decided it was time to take my business to the next level and find a space to really create in – something better then my living room! I found myself an inexpensive studio space in a shared artist studio near my old house. It was great in many ways, but I know that it wasn’t IT. It wasn’t all I dreamed of…

So, being the day dreamer / visualizer that I am….I doodled my perfect layout, my perfect space…and everything I wanted to be able to do in there. I wanted a store front, I wanted a back room to create in, an area to do photoshoots in…and somewhere I could also host events like pop up markets and creative workshops.

After I made the layout / floor plan sketch…I thought ok cool, 3 year goal. I need WAY MORE MONEY to make this dream happen. But then, out of no where, this space was literally given to me. A friend of my dad who is an artist was giving away some art supplies, and my Dad asked if I wanted some. I said YES (duh) and headed over to meet Les.

Les has been an artist for decades, and he told me he was moving on to other life ventures. He said, why don’t you take this place over. You can have it if you want. The landlord doesn’t know i’m planning to leave yet so you can call him and take over the lease. UMM OK?!?!?! Is it that simple? What if the landlord is like nahhh, we want to rent it for more to someone random…but to my surprise, my awesome new landloard was cool with it!

I called my friend Kate, from Plenty+Spare naturals, who I knew was looking for a new space, and was like HEY GIRLLL HEYY, move in here with me and let’s make MAGIC!! This space will be:

A Space for Kate and I to Create – Soap, Natural Body Products, Candles, Art, Products.

A Space to Sell our Creations & The Creations of Other Local (and beyond) Artisans, Artists and Makers.

A Fun Place to Host a POP-UP Store, Creative Workshop, Art Show or Event.

The Penelope Sloan Design Office Headquarters – Offering a Slew of Creative Services (Graphic + Interior Design, Creative Consulting)

My plan is to host a MONTHLY Themed Party that would launch a new currated collection of art + design + lifestyle products, everything from gourmet goodies to bikini’s.

The first theme is PASSION. I chose this theme because, well, it is PASSION that fuels me. I’m a passionate designer, and a passionate person. I LOVE TO LOVE things. And I’m opening shop right in time for the most PASSIONATE Day of the year…Valentine’s Day!

For this event I will be selling my Massage Candles, Plenty+Spare Soaps, Unicorn Dreams Jewelry, Art Photography by LizRosa, Neon Hearts by Endeavour Neon and more…

So, I invite you to come check out my new space, have a drink, have some tea, take a boo at the curated selection of PASSION inspired goodies!

  PLEASE request a link to the official invitation page below

  “A symbolic color selection; a color snapshot of what we see taking place in our culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.

For the first time Pantone introduces two shades, Rose Quartz and Serenity as the PANTONE Color of the Year 2016. Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times.”

– Pantone

Check out their video and allow the wave of tension to melt into tranquility as the imagery shifts and the colours wash over you. 

I agree that 2016 needs more serenity, tranquility, wellness, and balance! I also love anything to do with gems and crystals, and RoseQuartz is such an amazing gemstone, so i’m stoked about it’s name hehe.

  “Rose Quartz Crystal is known as the ‘love stone’ as the message it emits is the strong vibration of unconditional love, joy, warmth and healing.

This beautiful pink crystal has a powerful energy that resonates within both the heart chakra and the higher heart chakra, or thymus chakra, the area related to compassion. This stone will also resonate out the love energy into its surrounds, and aid all those nearby, such as your nearest and dearest.

Not only will it assist you with healing yourself but its energy may bring faith and hope to all in the vicinity, and this energy is well known for its action to stimulate romance in your life.

As quartz crystals are profound amplifiers of energy, it may help to kindle happiness, love, romantic feelings and sensuality.”

    Pantone has such a global influence that I am sure we will see a surge of products, from home decor to fashion and makeup inspired by these colours.  Maybe we will even see blush pinks cars everywhere….ok maybe not, but a girl can dream!

I’m already inspired by them, and I am excited to see people use these colours in their homes. With the crazy lives we all live, home should feel like a sanctuary and I think we can all agree these colours will help to sooth the soul.

This is my favorite of their suggested colour pairings. Which colours speak to you most?

  Would you paint your walls Rose Quartz or Serenity, or would you use those colours in pillows and accents? I love both colours for the walls, but if your not ready to commit to that,  here are some lovely items that I found online to inspire some relaxation, love and serenity in your home! Pictures link to products in case you fall in love or want to see similar items :)

United Local Artists Pop Up Shop

I am excited to announce that I will be helping to host the first ever United Local Artists event.

ULA is a collaboration between myself and a handful of my creative friends! The goal is to create a monthly Art and Design Pop Up that features handmade and locally designed products, including Original Art and Prints, Jewelry, Handbags, Clothing, Candles, Greeting Cards and more!

Come visit us…

Now, go mix up a mug of coco or chai and have fun browsing for your own soon to be cozier home…

                    Decor with a relaxed elegance and gold accents paired with neutrals creates a cococozy vibe.

An easy way to add instant cozy and create a focal point is with a fire place. The one in the inspo board is free standing and electric, just place it against a wall and plug it in!

  If you love to DIY, make a faux fire place out of some old lumber, like I did for my room design for Urban Barns Next Top Designer contest.

  A faux fur thow blanket is the ultimate is cuddle luxury. Well, at least I think so. Who doesn’t like a lil minky snuggle to warm you up!

Gold accents with neutrals gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling, in the chicest of ways.

  I loved the art deco pattern on the gold pillow, it’s just so fabulous!

  As the months enter into winter and the days get shorter and colder, having tons of cozy at home keeps the winter blues from creeping up on you!

  Shop the look!

If your looking for help making your house a cozy home, why not book a design consultation for a custom inspiration board package that includes a layout, product suggestions and links, and guidance from our design team on how to make it happen.
