Design Trends to Watch Out for in 2023

March 11, 2023 by Claude Jobin




Living Room from Realtor.ca proposes trends to watch in 2023. You know how I feel about trends, I tend to mostly avoid them, but hopefully not to the point of finding myself living in a time capsule. Amusing that in this post the pic for art deco seems more french provincial to me. Any other errors?

  • Moody jewel tones
  • Mixed wood tones
  • Luxurious fabrics
  • Bold statement stone
  • Art deco
  • Functionally designed mudrooms
  • Intentional rooms and spaces

Decor/Design Trends that will rule 2023

February 25, 2023 by Claude Jobin




As you know I’m not a huge fan of trends. But one must have a certain sense of what is in and what is out otherwise one can find oneself in a timecapsule. Some good ideas here. Some house decor, some house design. Be careful when making house design decisions that are expensive and quickly dated. Plus of course some improvements dont increase the value of your home as much as you may think. Contact the Molly & Claude Team with any questions.

Clustering

February 24, 2023 by Claude Jobin




Last week I posted about cluttercore. Today I post about clustering. Clustering is an essential element of cluttercore. Now go display your collection. If you havent got a collection to display you’ve got work to do. BUT, here’s to me an important aspect: make it look collected not decorated. In order for it to look collected you really do need to find your passion and start acquiring items you love, sometimes it can take a moment. Perhaps this is a good moment for: it’s about the journey not the destination.

Kohler Is Reintroducing Two Vintage Colors, and You Get To Decide Which Ones

January 29, 2023 by Claude Jobin




Kohler is reintroducing 2 of the historical colours. And we get to vote on which two they will be. Cute endouvour and amuzing colours but I must say should you ever wish to install such do it for yourself but don’t think you’ve increased the value of your home. I’m not sure how these will age but typically when buyers see pink, or green, or blue toilets they are not pleased. Apartment therapy’s post here. Voting here.

8 Places in Your Home Where You Never Thought to Hang Art

January 28, 2023 by Claude Jobin




Apartment Therapy presents 8 places in your home where you may have never thought to hang art. Some of them seem like a good idea some are a bit odd. The on top of other art is odd. Well I guess it depends what’s under whats on top and how important the pieces are.

Granny Chic

January 12, 2023 by Claude Jobin




I dont think I typically post from autoreviewhub. This post caught my eye and well here we are. I agree with some of their points and disagree with others. For instance in the photo above, I think classic wall mouldings can be great and should not be removed. And I think most would be delighted to have this bathroom.

Alas according to them I’m guilty of granny chic. I have:

  • new cushions in paisley print
  • a dust ruffle – but it has box pleats which to me makes it look more simple
  • a coffee table with a magazine rack
  • wall clock
  • ornate frames
  • decorative plates
  • tiffany style lamp
  • white appliances
  • over-the-range-microwave

It’s true you don’t want your home to become a time-capsule of another era. But I think some of the items on their list are ok. Or maybe it’s me!

9 Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2023

December 29, 2022 by Claude Jobin




Forbes has put together a list of 9 trends that will be going away in 2023.

  • Design Contrary To Location
  • More Isn’t More—Maximalism Is Out
  • Bid Adieu To Minimalism
  • Open Concept Living Is Officially Closed
  • Only Using Lighter Wood Tones
  • Rattan Everything
  • White And Gray Monochromatic Color Schemes
  • Fast Furniture Is On Its Way Out
  • Arched And Curved Furniture
While I don’t tend to decorate according to trends, I suspect I am not decorating as would have in the 80s or 90s. So there must be some awareness.

Thanks!

For being customizable! Julie

Claude and Molly are truly amazing!

I live very far out of town and needed an Ottawa real estate agent after my father died.
I picked them after looking online.

Well I picked the right ones! They were and are extraordinary. Because I live so far away our family needs for cleaning the house out and getting it ready to sell were huge, and to me, insurmountable.

I couldn't have done it without them, and to top this off, they are friendly and just great people. Thank you so much Claude and Molly.

All the best, Rachel


You’re fantastic!

Allan

A huge Thank YOU

You did a yeoman's service with helping us find and buy our house.
We are so grateful for your insights and patience.
It was a big learning curve (and I am still trying to figure out why milk is in a bag . . .) I look forward to hanging out, I mean possibly working with you when I arrive here full time;-) In the meantime, thank you again from us both. Arica and Eric

Fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle

Over the past couple of weeks we were very fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle.
We were selling our home and Molly brought her client to view it knowing it would be a home that they would be interested in....which by the way they were as they did end up purchasing. It was our fortunate luck that we met Molly through this endeavour. My husband and I were selling our house with Grapevine and as we are not experienced sellers there were a few times we were very close to just taking it off the market and staying here. Her experience, knowledge, kindness to us, her understanding that this was a difficult decision especially for my husband made the whole difference for us. Molly's professionalism and expertise, her ability to 'walk a fine line' while working for her client and yet to be so kind and gentle with us was amazing. We feel the whole experience gave us the opportunity to meet and talk with Molly and to value her knowledge. You can be assured that we will highly recommend her to any of our friends who need a conscientious, honest, trustworthy realtor. Sadly we will miss talking with Molly but we only wish her the very best in the future and say 'thank you Molly' for all her help and support. Sincerely, Lenore and Ralph

I really appreciate your hard work,

I will refer you and Molly to friends and family if they are looking to sell. Yana
