Artistic Home Designs
Compact, affordable home designs and out buildings
Growing up in Newfoundland I was surrounded by rugged coastlines
dotted with tiny homes painted in the most eye-catching colours.
Large families were often raised in these compact homes
with great pride taken in their individuality.

Inspired by Newfoundland folk architecture, I have married the historic charm
of these tiny colourful Newfoundland homes, with fresh contemporary interiors,
in this selection of unique home designs called

The small footprints make them perfect for those seeking an

All of my artistic designs are meticulously planned to
maximize usable space and offer unique features
often found in larger homes - such as multiple bathrooms,
open concept kitchens and practical mudrooms.

We purchased our first home when I was just 19 years old,
I started right in at renovations.
Over the next 24 years, I've designed, drafted and built
several homes - Including our own, and have helped
others build their small home dreams.

I am also skilled in organic & ecological landscape design.
Landscapes that work with nature, are cost efficient and low maintenance.
I can help you create the best layout for your hard-scaping,
select inexpensive native plants, choose hardy varieties of edibles
and help you to work with the land and nature to
create a beautiful landscape for all.
Many people think that creating a beautiful garden starts with a grass lawn
and a visit to a garden center for imported nursery plants.
Truth be told . . . our native trees, shrubs, flowers & berries when paired with
thoughtful design offers a beautiful, low-maintenance and eco-friendly landscape.
Local native plants and shrubbery are not only beautiful,
they provide much needed food and habitat for nature’s little friends. . .
they are also more lush, hardier and much easier to maintain.
No need for constant tending, fertilizing, mowing and worrying
about drought and frost - Because they like to grow here.
about drought and frost - Because they like to grow here.
Several years ago the Town presented us with an award for the prettiest garden,
and I’m especially proud of our little half-acre having recently been
certified as Wildlife-friendly Habitat by the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
This means that our outdoor space is not only beautiful, it also meets the needs of our wildlife
and pollinators by using earth-friendly...and people friendly...gardening methods.
If you would like more information on how we as a community can create beautiful gardens
that increase property value, require less maintenance
and create healthy spaces for everyone,
I would be more than happy to help you grow & nurture your own oasis
which is pollinator friendly, pesticide-free and peaceful.
