Foraging with Ruthie always feels like an adventure—like two kids on a treasure hunt, we wandered through her stunning property on Amherst Island, searching for hickory bark. 🍂 The quiet moments of discovery and the thrill of turning that bark into rich, homemade hickory syrup remind me why I love this so much.
There`s just something so cool about taking a piece of bark and turning it into something delicious.

Here’s where it all begins!
We are taking this charming cottage and turning it into a one-of-a-kind custom home. Here’s a glimpse of the current home, followed by blueprints of what’s to come.
We’re keeping the character while adding fresh, custom features in a monochromatic colour palette that reflects the owners’s dream home, impeccable taste and style.
Excited to share this journey with you- stay tuned as this project unfolds.
