Carena Dean Design + Construction

Communicating design intent is much easier through the use of inspiration pictures and images. So long are the days of cutting out clippings from magazines. #kitchengoals #squamishrenovations #lightandbright #interiordesign #interiordesigner #kitchendesignideas

Some like it bright and light, others prefer dark and moody. Here we're pulling together more of a dark, industrial, loft feel for a steel post and beam new build. #interiordesign #industrialdesign #newbuild #seatosky

1 yr ago we were in the thick of this kitchen overhaul. It can be stressful living in a reno, cooking off a hot plate in your living room, washing dishes in the laundry sink, having dust, noise and a construction zone in your home. Additionally, it's hard to be in your last trimester pregnant with your first while living in this environment! We were on the clock to get this reno turned around before these lovely ladies welcomed their new born baby in the coming months...... ...Then COVID hit!!!! What could have been an absolute nightmare, turned out to be one of the smoothest renos to date! These clients/ friends are absolutely amazing, understanding, great communicators and contributers in helping to make this project such a success. Having your good friends take on the carpentry and millwork really made this the dream team. I look forward to eventually getting professional photos of this space but its the visit and coffee with these two gals +1 that I really can't wait to do. What an unusual year it has been.

Tonight's the night to watch @workinggear story & transformation on Holmes Family Effect on CTV. It was a unique experience working on the redesign of this space..... Thank you @rdcfinehomes and all the trades involved in making this happen. I had the opportunity to film alongside the Holmes Family although I have to watch to see if I made the finial cut. If you look closely, I did make it in at the end of the commercial. ... #interiordesign #interiordesigner

Last Year I had the opportunity to design a Vancouver retail type, community space for the new CTV Series, Holmes Family Effect. The series is starting this Sunday with only 4 episodes. The episode I'm on, will be latter this month. Feb. 14th or later. I'm awaiting to hear on rollout order and will keep you posted. I filmed along side the Holmes family and stepped outside of my comfort zone to be in front of the camera. We will have to wait and see if I made the final cut. ... None the less, you will be able to see my design come to life thanks to Whistler builder RDC Fine Homes, The Holmes Network & CTV. Stay tuned... https://www.ctv.ca/shows/holmes-family-effect?cid=ps%3A14910

Latest completed Squamish kitchen renovation. I had some amazing clients, friends & trades to work with while navigating a renovation in the midst of a pandemic. Thank you all! This 90's built home felt a bit dark, small and separated between the kitchen and dining. The new plan opened up the space, added larger windows to the stunning view of the back yard and created a very important coffee station. Finding a 2nd skylight that was blocked off was a huge bonus that confirmed this layout was ment to be. I love the fresh, clean feel with the right amount of warmth and texture. The lower cabinets colour is stunning! Unfortunately it's not captured as true in my photos.

2018 was a blend of adventure, travel, family, friends and some rewarding design projects! This years highlight was the experience of racing Trans Alpine Run with my big bro. For 7 days we ran, climbed, descended, cursed, laughed and suffered 260km with 16,000m of elevation through Germany, Austria & Italy Alps. What an experience it was to be able to share together as siblings. I'm so greatful to have the family & friends that I do along with my fantastic, like minded clien...ts that I get to work with through the Sea to Sky! I wish you all a year of adventure, love and creativity! Thank you for your support! Happy 2019. #yearsbest9 #2018 #liveworkplay #greatful #interiordesign #interiordesigner #seatosky #squamishlife #whistlerlife #transalpinerun See more
