Even during 14hr work days, you have to take time to pull over and ‘grab the shot’ when you see it. We have so much #beauty here in #BritishColumbia.

Check out this hot, new Royal Lepage Kelowna Geoff Treadgold listing on 827 Saucier Road, homestaging by Rock House Style Sam Shakura. Beautiful location and modern amenities! When we stage a property- we are conscious to keep it clean, fresh and inviting but do not go along with the commonly perceived rule to keep it completely boring! We feel that by having a few statement, unique pieces helps the potential buyer envision their treasured items also working in the space, and leaves a lasting impression of a home that’s been designed and curated - as opposed to decorated or simply ‘filled’.

Our showcase event ‘Crystalline’ in support of Aaron K Metz was magical! It was special to see so many beautiful souls supporting Aaron’s art and investing in original, crystal-infused work by this amazing local artist. Through curating this experience for our friends and clients - we met the most inspiring, heart-led people who helped make the evening as unique and uplifting as it was. If you would still like to purchase a piece of Aaron’s art (values of $85 - $18,500) but w...ere unable to attend our private showcase - special Rock House Style pricing will remain in effect until August 15th. When beautifying your home and office spaces with art you love, why not have the extra added bonus of crystal healing and positive energy that continuously transmits from Aaron’s art?!? We would like to thank our volunteers, supporters and the following people who we encourage everyone to visit privately to experience their incredible services. @KihewTherapyandWellnessInc @ChaiBabaTea @Praxis.Centre @SajivaKombucha @FamosaSopaSquare @KrispyKolt @ADesilva1 @Venusdmylo Photography by the lovely Megan Roberts.

Only 3 more days until Crystalline at Rock House Style; an exclusive, enchanted lakefront art show showcasing one of my favorite local Rebel With A Cause artists Aaron K Metz. Aaron and his crystal-enhanced artwork leave such a positive impact on our community and we cannot wait to help our friends pick out the perfect original piece to bring home! After selling out of tickets- we have added 30 more spots for those last-minute people who haven’t secured their access to this private Rock House gallery curated event. Thank you for supporting your local artists and thumbs up to all those who understand the power and significance of having intentional, high frequency and beautiful art and decor in their sacred spaces! xo Sam

As a designer, I am a firm believer that every home deserves art that cleanses, energizes and beautifies your sacred space. You know how much of a crystal lover I am - and when I discovered Aaron’s art through my non-profit art community 'Rebel with a Cause', I completely fell in love with his work, and the artist, himself (Aaron and his wife Laura are the most amazing, kind people you’ve ever met). His process of painting stunning cosmic abstracts, loading pounds of Selenite... and other powerful crystals onto the canvas and then finishing with resin is otherworldly. Not only is his art gorgeous - it literally creates positive energy and healing vibes at home. With art that ranges from $85 - $18,500 - I truly believe we ALL can and should own an original piece of Aaron’s and am hosting this event at Rock House to help my friends and clients find a perfect piece that identifies with their soul. We are responsible for our own energies - whether we are purifies or polluters - and this starts at home - when we have sacred homes filled with things we love that lift us up and make us smile - we bring that energy forth and outward into the world. We’ve worked hard to co-create a magical evening with special surprises that will leave you feeling rejuvenated, connected and enlightened. Please come with an open mind and loving heart - you deserve this special Sunday evening! Help me celebrate this special artist, purchase a piece of his one-of-a-kind art (before he skyrockets into the global market), and find the art that’s seeking you! Aug. 5th, 6pm-9pm, at Rock House Style

Looking for the perfect present for Mother's / Father's Day? A 'Family Wall of Fame' by Rock House Style is an amazing idea! Check out my article in the latest issue of ICON Okanagan Magazine for tips on creating your own or DM me to schedule a consult to help you create this special wall at home. Very rarely do we build, renovate or decorate a personal residence without incorporating a family ‘wall of fame’ photowall. These special collections of photographs always make a ho...use feel like a home (it’s one of the first things we do if a client has moved into a new space and has anxiety about the property not yet feeling comfortable or personalized) and more often than not, we get an overwhelmed-with-emotion reaction when we install these walls for our clients (cue: happy tears!). We all have photographs from our childhood, our travels, old black and whites passed down from our family, and current photos filling up our smartphones but it’s hard to know where to begin putting together a medley of images, in one collection, displayed in a creative and beautiful gallery wall. While they often look casual and haphazardly-placed, there is a science to creating a harmonious photowall. The secret is finding the perfect balance between frame styles, photography and spacing.

A sneak peek into one of my favourite recent renovation design projects. Photo by my amazing friend: Jenn Beal With all the craziness happening in our world... in our market... in our daily lives... I periodically feel like posting about my design and art work seems trivial and frivolous. And then I am reminded of the soul-level impact our homes have on our moods, health and relationships. Beauty and style are not superficial concepts, they are direct reflections our "interi...or" design (ie: how we feel on the inside). We cannot control the government, or the news, or the shitty things people do "out there"- but we can control how our homes- the homes we all have the power to create for ourselves and our loved ones- make us feel, and thrive. I feel lucky to be welcomed into so many different individuals lives, with that power to help elevate their personal sanctuary's. To help them create beautiful and interesting spaces that speak to their hearts, inspire their minds, and support them in being the best version of themselves. Design is an intimate process; one where the designer becomes an expert on how a client lives, what they cherish most, and how many pairs of underwear are in their closet drawers. We have to evaluate so many things to get it right, to ensure a home speaks to that person, fits their lifestyle, and lifts them up. It's a challenging but immensely rewarding career that demands I constantly balance my business mind with my creative one. Here's to the well-rounded spaces out there, the ones that you walk into and just instantly feel at peace, the ones with purposeful details that take your breath away. It's not about spending a zillion dollars, or creating perfect rooms where everything matches and the decor is neutral enough to please everyone ; it's about creating rooms with soul, with patina and with character so that they tell a story and make you feel something. When design matters and you fill your home with colors, textures, things, and people you love- it becomes a living canvas; an ever-evolving curation of your life.
