Be In Wonder

From cold concrete to a place where four little imaginations can climb, create, read, build, and be in wonder.

This unfinished basement was transformed into a multi-zoned play + learning space designed around this family’s real needs: movement for self-regulation, cozy corners for quiet moments, accessible storage for independence, and plenty of room for creativity to thrive.

Every detail was thoughtfully shaped around their goals. To create a home where all four kids could learn, grow, and play side-by-side.

What an honour this project was 💛

Way back play back (do people even say that anymore?! 🤪) to this dreamy basement playroom we designed and installed two whole years ago!

This family wanted their basement to feel more inviting and calming—a space where their three kids could play, create, and unwind. From the cozy swing chairs to the art display wall, climbing wall, and those cloud lights, every detail was chosen to spark joy and support open-ended play.

Still one of our favourite transformations—because kids’ spaces can be just as beautiful, functional, and serene as any other room in the home.

We layered this space with elements that support creativity, connection, and calm:
✨Cloud pendants for a dreamy glow
✨Display rails for rotating artwork
✨A large communal table for crafts, games, STEM learning, and snacks
✨Soft seating and cozy corners for reading and rest
✨A mini climbing gym and sensory swing to support self-regulation
✨A large floor space for endless open-ended play

This basement was designed to flex with family life, and grow alongside their kids. I am forever grateful for being a part of this beautiful family’s home!

Designing for real life can feel magical. 💫

A profound loss felt by so many. The big sister to all of us. To my dearest friend Laura, thank you. From the moment we connected, you believed in me and took a chance on me. You’ve been an incredible friend, confidant, and cheerleader throughout the years. You’ve taught me so much in such a short time: to love fiercely, cherish the little things, never take a moment for granted, how to give yourself and others grace, prioritize what truly matters, take risks, and, above all, to live life to its fullest. I have always admired your dedication to your family, your commitment to your community and business, and your ability to connect with so many people around you. You have been a pillar of strength and a true inspiration. My heart is shattered knowing you’re no longer with us on this earth. Your friendship was truly a gift and your love will forever remain in my heart! I miss your smile, our laughs, our random chats and our friendship already. Love you forever Laura 💛

My deepest condolences to the entire GG family. There are no words to this immense loss. Love you all!

And a snippet into the kind of friend that Laura was. Always radiating love, compassion, empathy, and support. May we all be a little more like Laura 💛
