Sacha here. I just want to take a moment to celebrate Melissa… not as my partner in business or design (although she’s amazing at that too), but as the incredible mother she is to our two kids.

Watching her with Hugo and Evelyn every day is something that never stops inspiring me. Her patience, her strength, her softness, her humour, and her ability to hold everything together even on the hardest days—it’s honestly a kind of magic. Our kids are who they are because of her love, her example, and the safe, beautiful world she creates around them.

So today, on Mother’s Day, I just want to say thank you, Mel. For everything. You’re the heart of this family. And we’re so lucky to call you ours.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Struggling to style narrow shelves? Here’s how to make them shine!
A few of our go-to tips:
1. Vary the heights to create visual interest.
2. Layer artwork behind objects to add depth.
3. Use a cohesive palette so it feels intentional, not cluttered.
4. Mix textures—think matte ceramics, wood, and stone.
5. Leave some breathing room—negative space is your friend!

Two design ideas you absolutely should include in your next bathroom renovation: 1. LED strip light for a warm, soft glow. 2. Towel ladder if you lack wall space. 😉 #theleclairhome #showerdesign #towelladder

Our third summer at the cabin is just around the corner, and it still feels like magic every time we drive up that winding road.
The patio where we linger a little longer, the laughter echoing from a simple game of cornhole, the warmth of the sauna after a sunset swim in La Rivière Rouge… these moments have become part of our story.
We are so grateful for this place — for everything it has given our family — and for the chance to share it all with you. Thank you for being part of it. ❤️☀️

March was a beautiful blur of snow-capped stillness and cozy connection. From slow mornings in Tremblant to a peaceful escape at Manoir Hovey, we soaked in the kind of moments that remind us why we do what we do. Whether it was chasing the last snowflakes with the kids or stealing a quiet moment just the two of us—these are the memories we’ll keep close.

As we step into a new season, we’re feeling grounded, grateful, and more inspired than ever.

Tell us—what’s been filling your cup lately?

This happens WAY too often to us!! Anyone else constantly twinning by accident? 🤦‍♂️😂 True story: We both ordered these sweaters separately, pulled them out on the same day, and just stood there like… really?! Guess who had to change? 🤔

**5 Kitchen Design Mistakes to Avoid!**

Designing a kitchen is a big investment, so getting it right is key! Here are five common mistakes to avoid to ensure your space is both timeless and functional:

1️⃣ Chasing trends too hard
It’s easy to fall for the latest Pinterest-worthy kitchen, but what’s trendy today might feel outdated in just a few years. Instead, focus on timeless elements and bring in trends through accessories or lighting—things that are easier to swap out.

2️⃣ Poor lighting layers
Relying solely on pot lights is a missed opportunity. Layering lighting—like under-cabinet LEDs, toe-kick lighting, and statement pendants—adds depth, warmth, and functionality. Think of lighting as both practical and decorative!

3️⃣ Lack of smart storage
Drawers are your best friend in a well-designed kitchen. Plan designated spaces for utensils, spices, and small appliances so everything has a place. Deep drawers for pots and pull-outs for pantry items make a huge difference in day-to-day function.

4️⃣ Too much gloss
High-gloss cabinets and surfaces might seem sleek, but they show fingerprints and scratches like crazy. A matte or satin finish creates a more refined, durable look that stands the test of time.

5️⃣ Forgetting appliance fit
Always plan your cabinetry around your appliances—not the other way around! A counter-depth fridge keeps everything flush and streamlined, preventing that awkward 6-inch fridge overhang that throws off your design.

Answering your recent @ldcabin kitchen island questions! The island is 170” x 42” and we couldn’t be happier with the Soapstone from @ceragres 🙌 We love the deep, rich tones and natural feel, but we also want to be real—soapstone does require some maintenance. It will patina and develop scratches over time, but in our opinion, that just adds to its organic beauty! If you love a lived-in, evolving surface with character, it’s a fantastic choice. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Poll time! Are you Team Sauna or Team Hot Tub? 🔥❄️

We’ve poured our hearts into crafting the ultimate après-ski winter experience here at the cabin. While we’ve always been big fans of a cozy hot tub session, the deep relaxation of our LD @vu.saunas sauna has been winning us over lately.

Of course, why choose when both are so good? But we’re curious—what’s your go-to for unwinding after a day on the slopes?

✨ New Year, New Energy ✨

As we step into 2025, we’re setting our intentions high and hearts wide open. This year is all about leaning into growth, learning, and experiences that light us up—while leaving behind the habits and mindsets that no longer serve us.

We’re embracing travel, creativity, and moments of joy. We’re prioritizing family, quality sleep, and the simple pleasure of a warm cup of tea. And yes, we’re committed to purging—not just closets, but also comparison, clutter, and the pressure to be perfect.

2024 taught us resilience, and 2025? It’s already whispering: turn your lessons into fuel.

What’s in and out for your year ahead? Let’s inspire each other! 💭👇
