Author: Janette Ewen

From her early start as a freelance stylist for high profile clients, Janette has always taken an experiential approach to creativity…”one must live it to create it.” It was this rebelliousness that enticed celebrity designer Ty Pennington to ask Janette to co-host his Canadian-based TV show "Inside the Box." Janette can also be seen regularly on national shows in Canada including "Cityline" and "Canada AM," as well as a design expert on "The Decorating Adventures of Ambrose Price" (VH1) and a judge on the series From the Ground Up (starring Debbie Travis). Today Janette is a partner at Parker Barrow creative studio, where she is “over the moon” to be designing and creating spaces and products that would find a happy home in her fast-paced, whimsical life.

  • Relatively Speaking ... I was #blessed to have more than one #father  I was named after the first “Gary Tygert Bruton “ (that’s right my first name is Gary and I’m a Jr. which is interesting because I’m the second son) But this photo really proves the DNA matches.  Just check out the #native #tan #nose and #large #hands  After years of hearing amazing stories from his musician friends I was able to set up a meeting . One I’ll never forget  Not only because we were nothing wearing the same style hat when we met at my aunts house but also the week or so I spent with him and his family in Florida where we worked on building something together ..a sailboat  It was truly a bonding experience and considering the sense of humor I’ve always found in the twist and turns of life ... I enjoyed sharing my “#summer #story “ in class especially the part where we launched our #handmade #boat and it sank a few moments into its maiden voyage. But I was truly so glad to have med the man I was so curious about. Now the Man in the second photo was my #stepfather who adopted me and honored me with his last name  Nick Pennington was not blood related but loved my mom so much he said yes to the whole package.  Including a #hyperactive #adhd chaotic kid and his brother. I learned so many lessons from the man I called Dad  His smart wit and dark sense of humor he bestowed upon us all has never left our family. So here’s to the men who shape the rebellious youth into better thoughtful human beings ! #happyfathersday #ps #thanx for the #memories and #lessons and #capable #hands
