HOME & COTTAGE EDITOR
CHEERS TO NEW ADVENTURES
I was very surprised and flattered to receive a call one morning asking to become the new Home Editor for the PEI Living Magazine. I was apprehensive for a multitude of reasons... I can’t write, my grammar is horrific, I do not have time for this, I won’t be any good at this. I am following in big shoes—shoes that I have looked up to long before I started my career in Interior Design. I understand that we all reach a point in our lives where we want to take that step back from our careers to enjoy the finer things in life. You have earned it Susan, cheers to you! There is one thing I’ve learned over the past few years—stepping outside your comfort zone opens you up to discovery, opportunities, and growth—so I said yes with the promise that someone will hold my hand when I need it. Speaking of the finer things in life, PEI summer’s are one of them! The Island has so much to offer in the summer, from it’s breathtaking views, mouth- watering cuisine, and that constant
breeze that carries the subtle smell of oceanic salt or freshly cut hay. That easy-breezy, carefree lifestyle is what this beautiful Island is all about during the summer months and I am here for it! In this issue, we are showcasing Tops to Floors newly expanded Summerside headquarters and what that means for Islanders. We share tips about how to take advantage of our outdoor spaces during the summer months by making simple upgrades. A kitchen that truly is the “heart of the home” and the realities of a kitchen renovation….not that stuff you see on TV, plus I chat about cohesion and how that can be achieved in the home. You’ll find an enchanting A-frame cabin in the woods that makes the perfect family getaway and we discuss how to choose your mattress for the best night’s sleep.
