Perhaps to counter my my blog post of dated trends, this post by Realtor.ca presents upcoming design trends for fall 2023.

Dated Trends

September 22, 2023 by microsoft edge Leave a Comment





A little humour for Friday. This blog post, though from earlier this year, presents trends that are so dated it seems like a post from another time. Of course in my mind there are a few trends that I’d keep.

  • The illustration of the pastel bathroom is alas one I like. A two toned pastel time capsule of the 50’s I believe should be preserved and worked around.
  • Wicker furniture – those seem nice.
  • The cat statue isn’t a design statement but a luck talisman originating in Asia
  • Bird baths – well ornate bird baths may be out but I’m sure there must be some that are acceptable.

Every Room in This Quirky Queens Rental Is a Beautiful, Bold Color

July 3, 2023 by Claude Jobin




When interior decorator Ally Doman decided to settle down with her partner Evan in Queens they decided to make the flat their own. Great space!

House Is Full of Nature-Inspired Wallpapers and Dark Paint Colors

June 25, 2023 by Claude Jobin




This home features wallpaper and bold colours. Quite nice! Quite bold!

Only do so if you plan on making it home for a long period of time as the personal choices would not present themselves well to prospective buyers. Most/many/some buyers cannot see beyond a colour. I remember showing houses to a buyer and a room was green: “I like the house but the family room is green”. “It’s just paint can easily be changed”.

Placement of Bed According to Feng Shui

June 24, 2023 by Claude Jobin




I’ve posted about feng shui before. I appreciate it’s principles, though I’m not very familiar with it all. And alas I sometimes find that what would be nice to follow but not possible. Here they state the bed should face the door, but not directly. If you have the choice then do so, but in some condos I’ve seen there really can only be one place for the bed. Hope it’s a good one! Haven’t I also read about north, south, east, and west placements according to your birth month. What happens when you are two with different months?

Another principle is the placement of mirrors vis-a-vis the front door. This one I have been concerned with. I was concerned about that as I have a powder room vanity mirror facing the front door – at first I’d keep the door closed but then did some research and found if it’s beyond a certain distance all is good.

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.

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
