When you're creating a space that truly feels like home, every detail matters. That's what drew us to Susan Drover and her incredible team at Sam Design in St. John's. What started as a search for a few key pieces turned into a complete design partnership that transformed our space with thoughtful, quality selections.
Lighting That Sets the Mood
The magic begins overhead with the stunning pendant lights that now grace our kitchen island. These aren't just functional fixtures – they're conversation starters that cast the perfect warm glow for everything from morning coffee to evening entertaining. The team at Sam Design understood exactly how lighting could transform our kitchen from a simple workspace into the heart of our home.
The same attention to detail carried into our king bedroom, where carefully selected lighting creates an atmosphere of calm sophistication. And in our living room nook, the pendant lighting adds that perfect touch of intimacy that makes you want to curl up with a good book.
Comfort Meets Style
Speaking of curling up, let's talk about sinking into our gorgeous couch from Gus Modern. This isn't just furniture – it's where life happens. The clean lines and incredible comfort make it the kind of piece you'll love for years to come. Gus Modern's commitment to quality craftsmanship really shines through in every detail.
The living room also features a beautiful rocking chair, also from Gus Modern, that's become our favorite spot for quiet moments. Flanking it are side tables that perfectly balance function and form, creating a cohesive look that feels both intentional and effortless.
Kitchen Island Perfection
Our kitchen island chairs deserve special mention – these stunning pieces from Four Hands combine rich wood with exquisite leather that gets better with age. Every time we sit down for a meal or casual conversation, we're reminded of why investing in quality pieces makes such a difference. The craftsmanship is evident in every curve and stitch.
Cozy Fire Essentials
For those chilly Newfoundland evenings, we've added beautiful wood burning stove accessories from Blomus. These aren't just functional tools – they're designed pieces that look as good as they perform. The German engineering and minimalist aesthetic perfectly complement our space while making fire-building a more enjoyable ritual.
The Perfect Finishing Touch
In our bedroom, the bedside tables create that essential balance between style and storage. These pieces tie the whole room together while providing the practical storage we need for our nightly routines.
Why Quality Matters
Working with Sam Design has reinforced our belief that buying quality pieces isn't just about durability – it's about creating a home that reflects who you are. Each piece we selected tells a story and contributes to the overall harmony of our space.
Susan Drover and her team didn't just sell us furniture; they helped us curate a collection that works beautifully together. Their expertise in understanding how different pieces complement each other, combined with their knowledge of quality brands like Gus Modern, Four Hands, and Blomus, made all the difference.
Supporting Local Excellence
There's something special about working with a local design team that truly understands both style and substance. Sam Design's commitment to bringing exceptional pieces to St. John's means we can access world-class design without compromising on service or support.
Every piece in our home now has a story, and that story starts with the wonderful team at Sam Design. From the moment you walk through their doors, you know you're working with people who care as much about your space as you do.
When you're ready to transform your own space with quality pieces that will bring joy for years to come, we can't recommend Sam Design highly enough.
After all, home is where the heart is – and great design makes that heart sing.
