'Full-filling' our homes
Furniture should speak to your soul
Selecting your furniture is an exciting-but-challenging task in which scale, colour, style and function are all considered.
Yet don't just fill your space; fulfill your space.
Both should feed your soul; it should seduce you into wanting to stay in that room forever, engaging your emotions with serenity, comfort and sensibility. This will happen when you consider the perimeters of your space; appropriately scaled furniture, whether a casual or formal lifestyle, can make or break a lovely design.

Hello readers!
Creating a memorable home for buyers
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a designer of buildings and space. But I'm also a designer of many other things.
I call myself an accomplished creator of architectural and interior designs. I have worked with custom homebuilders and unconventional new builds such as bale houses. In fact, I happen to live in a house made of straw.
I've also had a chance to work with restaurants, churches and commercial buildings, including a No. 1 tourist destination spa in Saskatchewan. I like to call my personal signature "casual elegance."
It has been almost two decades since I first started my design career. I have since had my designs published in magazines across the city. Now, I'm excited to have the opportunity to share my design ideas and creativity with CREB®Now readers.

From blah bathrooms to cluttered kitchens, homeowners are often encouraged to channel their inner designer.

CREB®Now will be presenting Ewen and Hancock when they take the Trail Appliances Main Stage Sept. 18 at 4 p.m., Sept. 19 at 4:30 p.m. and Sept. 20 at noon.
