Do you have any Christmas traditions that you love? Things that you did as a kid that became core memories for you? I remember waking my brother up with a plastic bow and arrow set (along with 2 of my sisters for back up - he was the oldest). Those few minutes where all the five kids got ourselves up and rallied so we could go downstairs together was the most exciting of Christmas day for me. Probably the missed exciting for my older brother too given the wake up 😂

Sometimes I find that when things get busy, I end up just trying to keep up with life instead of creating the life I want. I’m hoping in the next couple weeks, I’ll be more intentional about the memories I want to create for my kids. I would love to hear about your favourite traditions - I find things like that, so inspiring when trying to make our own traditions.

Singing and music were always a big part of our Christmas growing up, coming from a really musical family. In fact, I didn’t realize it was strange until I grow up that we sang after dinner every day. Of course when I found out it was strange I didn’t tell anyone after that 😂 but I’m hoping to bring music to my kids too. We were jokingly called the von Trapp family - and all of us still do music in someway, my younger sister doing it full time.

However you celebrate, or if you don’t, I’m hoping you have a time full of family and friends - reconnecting with the people who it’s easy to lose touch with. And this year especially, the epic proclamation of “Peace on Earth” takes on new meaning.

Wishing you all joy and peace in the little things as well as the big things. Merry Christmas!

I designed the Water’s Edge back in 2018, when we had a 1 year old, Constance, and I was pregnant with Clara. When our oldest daughter was born, she was in heart failure within the first month of her life. She was born with down syndrome, and it’s fairly common to also have a congenital heart issue. It was hard being a new mother, but the pain I felt having to give this perfect little baby strong drugs simply so that she could continue to have her heart beat strongly enough that she could gain weight until she could have the surgery - was heartbreaking to me.

The amount of sheer labour we had to do in order to feed her properly, pumping and cleaning and bottlefeeding around the clock, that combined with multiple medication’s and other therapies, we had daily hour by hour sheets just to try to keep track. There were many nights we were scared she wouldn’t see the next day. During the first year of her life, I had a few chances to get away to cottages. But having to stay very close to her, I often find found myself in a dark cottage far away from the waterfront, sometimes feeling lonely and maybe even depressed, instead of feeling what I usually feel when I am out in nature - that transcendent beauty that always lifts me - just by being somewhat trapped both so close to that beauty and so far from it having to be indoors.

When I designed the water‘s edge, I wanted it to be a place of peace for those who couldn’t necessarily get outside for whatever reason. I wanted people to feel that beauty and wonder from the moment they woke up, to the minute they laid their head down on the pillow. And so much of the design is tied to our story, I wonder if people can feel the love that we wanted to create for anyone going through a hard time, or just wanting to reconnect.

Here are some images that Katie took that are absolutely breathtaking - and show the beauty we were trying to create. I should mention as well, that none of this would be possible without my husband being able to work through even the toughest of problems where everyone else bowed out. He is an absolute rock and the strongest man I know.

Sending you peace,

Shari

The creamy whites, pumpkin oranges, warm browns and soft greens that make this bedroom the perfect autumn nest. The wood structure you see is Douglas Fir. It’s one of the best woods for timber frame because its weight is relatively low compared to its strength. When I designed the posts and beams making up what you see, I over engineered the structure to create the look of strength similar to an old barn. In fact, the largest beam is a full foot wide.

These crisp days have their own magic to them - and so does The Water’s Edge. 🪄 🍃
