BEHIND THE SCENE

Behind every finished space you see, there’s an

Behind every finished space you see,
there’s an entire world you don’t.

The painters.
The electricians.
The plumbers.
The framers.
The drywallers.
The tapers.
The roofers.
The tilers.
The concrete guys.
The movers.
The demolition crew.
The masonry crew.
The cabinet crew.
The countertop crew.
The window installer.
The delivery guys.
The millwork people.
The irrigation crew.
The operator.
And all the hands in between that never make it into the final photo.

They’re the problem-solvers when plans change. The solution-finders when something doesn’t line up.

The ones crawling through attics, squeezing into crawl spaces, working in dust, heat, and cold—showing up day after day to do the work most people never see. The one with sleepless night wondering how to find a solution or accomplish a detail.

It’s early mornings.
Long days.
Dirty boots.
@carhartt trousers.
Sore backs.
Stained hands.
Sweaty t-shirts.
@fordcanada pickup truck.
@festoolcanada dream tool list.
Quiet pride.

Today, I want to put my people in the spotlight. And all of you who make it happen day after day. ✨

Because without a strong, skilled, and deeply committed crew behind the scenes, no project would ever see the light. No dream kitchen would ever become real. No home would ever come together. Nothing would ever appear magically.

What you see at the end is never just design or finishes.
It’s trust.
It’s months of dedicated hard work.
It’s craftsmanship.
It’s coordination.
And countless decisions made on the jobsite, one after another.

So this is a thank you—to the people who carry the weight, solve the problems, never in search of fame but of quiet perfection and build our dream homes.

Grateful. Always.
For the crew that truly makes it happen.

This is the part of a renovation most people don’t see.

Two months in, this game room and home theater are finally entering the finishing phase. Wallpaper. Baseboards. Cabinet installation.

But what matters most right now isn’t how fast it’s coming along — it’s how every little details & hundreds of decisions made months ago are coming wonderfully together.

This space was always about experience. Sound, light, flow, comfort. Family and friends. A room meant to be used, not just admired.

Behind the scenes doesn’t look perfect yet, but it’s the perfect process… It’s where the real work lives.

As we wrap up 2025, one of our proudest moments has been giving back. 💛⁠
⁠
Whenever we renovate a kitchen or bathroom, any usable appliances, cabinets, countertops, and fixtures find a second life with Habitat for Humanity, unless the homeowners choose to reuse them themselves.⁠
⁠
It’s a small way to reduce waste, support local families, and help make affordable housing more accessible. Small acts like these really do add up!⁠

🎄✨ Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Sitka Concept! ✨🎄⁠

The holiday season always invites reflection, and gratitude. Gratitude for how far we’ve come, for what we’ve built, and for the traditions that still anchor us. And if you’ve been thinking of starting something new, with family or friends, this is your sign. Once a tradition lives for two years, it suddenly feels like it’s always been there!⁠

The new year also brings something I genuinely love: goal-setting. Not resolutions, but intentional goals that keep you moving forward. Year after year, I’ve watched small, visible actions turn into real achievements, and it’s incredibly satisfying.⁠

Here’s the simple structure I use:⁠
🕒 Two-time horizons: 6–12 months and 1–2 years⁠
📋 Three categories: What I want to have, What I want to do, Who I want to become⁠
