Our Contributors Jane Lockhart Interior Design www.janelockhart.com “I love to design kitchens as they are the ‘heart of a home.’ A kitchen should be designed to not only be pretty but functional as well!” DESIGN & EVENT EDITOR FOR CANADIAN HOME TRENDS Evelyn Eshun Interior Design www.evelyneshun.com “Most people don’t know that as a child, one of my dream jobs was to be a professional race car driver!” DIY EDITOR FOR CANADIAN HOME TRENDS Nicholas Rosaci Interiors www.rosaci.com “As a kid, I wanted to be ‘Jem and the Holograms.’ After receiving Jem’s remote controlled Rolls-Royce with working cassette deck, I started drawing luxury cars, with the dream of being a car designer. This transitioned into fashion and home décor.” STYLE EDITOR FOR CANADIAN HOME TRENDS Whitewash & Co. www.whitewashco.ca “My favourite movie genre is romantic comedy. I love As Good as It Gets, Under the Tuscan Sun and Something’s Gotta Give. I also love movies with Brad Pitt such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Mexican!” Kim Bartley Design www.kimbartleydesign.com “I actually love doing household chores! I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to everything having a place in my home! If I had to choose one chore that I dislike it would be folding laundry!” Mike Ward Chef Mike Ward www.chefmikeward.com “The hardest dish to cook for many people seems to be poached eggs. Instead of fearing failure, tackle it head on! Buy a carton of fresh eggs and try it! Within approximately four eggs you’ll nail it and the sense of accomplishment will be well worth the price of wasting a few eggs.” NATIONAL DESIGN EDITOR FOR CANADIAN HOME TRENDS Peloso Alexander Interiors www.pelosoalexander.com “The best business advice I’ve ever received is that clients are looking to engage with your brand regardless if you sell design or tires for bicycles. Whenever you have the option to engage face to face or via phone, always select this over email or letters!”
