  • "Working with Katy was such a pleasure. She helped us all the way through ideation to the final completion of our home renovations. Her design expertise was incredibly helpful throughout the process. It made our renovation hassle-free and we absolutely love the final work. We especially appreciated her collaborative approach with design inspiration, the choice of materials, elevation diagrams, and with the final install. She's a hands-on professional that I'd absolutely recommend. We're genuinely looking forward to working with Katy on future projects."

    — ADAM BROWN, PRIDE KITCHEN AND BATH

  • I have nothing but amazing things to say about Katy. I have worked with her for years and have been consistently blown away how hard she works. Not only is she an amazing designer but she always takes her clients wants and needs into consideration in her design process. She is kind, compassionate and overall a great person to work with. I would strongly recommend working with Katy if given the opportunity!

    — KRISTI V

  • Katy was a huge help in upgrading our kitchen and building out our main living room. We needed to add in an island and upgrade a few features to match the existing kitchen as well as add a functional seating area nearby. She listened to our preferences and was able to visualize the room for us using a 3D rendering so we knew what everything would look like prior to starting. She organized all of the different moving pieces so we didn’t have to worry about anything and made it super easy!

    — JENNA J

  • I love Katy's podcast, not only is she a talented designer but has the most intriguing conversations with cottage owners in Ontario. I feel like I am getting to know my community one by one!

    — MIA HACKING, THE INTERIOR ATELIER

  • “I have to give Katy so much credit praise. The kitchen 3D’s were so great and they conveyed exactly what I wanted to convey to the client. The client most likely would not have understood the concept without 3D renderings. Thank you so much!"

    — JASMINE AVDIC, JASPER INTERIORS

  • “I had a wonderful experience working with Katy. Her podcast idea is unique, and I appreciate the opportunity to share the history of our cottage. Katy was professional and kind. She was genuinely interested in my stories, and her passion for cottage country was contagious. I’ve made a new friend—a cottage country buddy!”

    — PATTY DOWD - EPISODE 7+8 PATTY ON THE POINT

  • “Working with Katy on the Sadie on Action Island episode for her Rewind Design podcast was really a great experience. We enjoyed sharing the history and architecture of our former bootlegging brothel with her. Katy is genuinely interested in not just the history of the cottages of cottage country, but also about the culture and people behind it as well. Though we all cottage differently, Katy is able to find the themes and commonalities of our unique stories, and how it all goes to show just how magical cottage country has been and continues to be. ”

THIS WEEK’S FEATURED EPISODE

Rewind Design Studio was born out of a deep appreciation for Georgian Bay and its environment. Development of Cottage Country is inevitable; However, Rewind Design Studio challenges the building sector to rethink standard building practices to put the environment first.

PODCAST

Two years ago, Katy launched a podcast centered on the history of cottage country. Recognizing the importance of understanding the area where she lives and works, she conducted numerous interviews with local cottage owners, diving into their generational cottage narratives. She had the opportunity to visit numerous Georgian Bay cottages, which made her acutely aware of the environmental impact of cottaging.

This realization led her to create a second season of the podcast, focusing on conversations with leading experts in sustainable design, including architects, builders, designers, and landscapers. The goal of the second season was to inspire cottage owners to embrace simple, yet effective sustainable design practices when renovating or constructing new cottages.

She was honored to receive a bursary from the Georgian Bay Land Trust to support the production of the podcast's second season.
