When it comes to updating your home’s facade, most people already have a collection of Pinterest ideas saved. They know what they love — the colours, the cladding, the textures — but they don’t know how to apply those ideas to their actual house. That’s exactly where I come in.
Recently, I worked with a client whose home was built in 1988. She had a whole folder of Pinterest ideas and inspiration images, but was completely stuck on how to translate them into something that worked with her house’s existing shape, layout and materials.

Choosing the Right Inspiration
Out of all the photos she showed me, one particular image stood out — a beautifully modern home with soft tones, simple lines, and understated elegance. I knew immediately it was the one to use as our main reference. And here is that image!

Instead of copying it, I reinterpreted it. I took the feel of that image and used it to guide every design decision — from colours and cladding to proportions and detail — while still respecting the structure and budget of her 1980s home.
Turning Ideas Into Real Design
That single photo became the anchor point. I combined it with other images she liked and layered in practical decisions based on her budget, the home’s orientation, and the features we could retain.
The result? A completely reimagined facade that feels just like the Pinterest ideas she loved — but was custom-designed for her home.
