HOME & COTTAGE Editor's Letter
68
J ust like that, summer is here. It always seems to sneak up on us, and suddenly the studio is buzzing with clients getting ready to host, spaces being refreshed in anticipation of guests, and renovation projects kicking into high gear with the longer days and warmer weather. At home, I’ve just stepped into the early stages of a kitchen renovation (more on that in a future issue), and like many of our clients, we planned it with summer in mind: more time spent outdoors, less disruption to daily life, and a chance to lean into that slower, simpler pace this season naturally brings. Between Island events, beach afternoons, and plenty of dinners from the new smoker, summer really is the perfect time to live a little more outside while the inside takes shape. In this issue, we’re revisiting one of our most beloved transformations, By The Bay (Spring 2024.) You may remember its striking A-frame silhouette. This time we’re revealing the finished living and dining spaces, and it just might be our favourite part of the home. We’re also stepping inside the warm and welcoming home of Toshia Noye, owner of Tosh Co. Home Store, where she’s turned a classic split-entry into something uniquely hers. For those summer comforts, we’re sharing a few of our seasonal staples—from the coffee machine we can’t live without to our go-to linen bed sheets that make winding down feel like a breeze. Here’s to the rhythm of summer and to finding that perfect sunny spot to sit back and enjoy everything this issue has in store.
