living there. This only proves the skill and talent Canon has to make any space homey. In addition to the many décor

Canon was based in Fort


Worth between 2001 and late 2006, but his clientele was, in- creasingly, in Dallas and with the World Trade Center in Dallas, it made sense to move. He chose the Cedar Springs location due to the exciting new growth on Mockingbird Lane and the over- all location. Canon grew up in the Midland area and always had a passion for design and a love of architecture. “My grandmother


was from France, so French ar- chitecture and furniture spurred my interest at an early age,” he says.


Canon’s family was in the oil and cattle business, and his first client was an oilman and family friend who needed his office redesigned. That led to a project at the man’s house, and Canon’s business grew by word of mouth in Midland, Lubbock and beyond. Today, most of his work is residential and primarily in existing spaces, including remodeling (construction). “Easily 90 percent of my business is referrals and repeat clients,” he says. “I feel like I’ve always been gifted in being able to assess what clients already have in their space. I also ask them how they use the space, how they live in it and


what activities they do in their home. Do they entertain? Do they have kids and pets?” He also is a proponent of finding the good that is still there. “If pieces still work and they’re not too outdated, I like to reinvent them. It also works great with the budget.” Canon says styles are always changing and he, too, has changed over the years. “I’ve kind of evolved. I’ve always had anything from a true traditional to a French influence, and now I think I’m finding myself leaning more toward transitional— cleaner lines.” Canon says he’s not the one to go to for straight-out contemporary design. “I find it cold, but I do love contempo- rary art mixed with traditional. I feel like traditional no longer


has to be boring. Just adding a great pop of color with a con- temporary art piece can bring life to a room.” While trends come and go, Canon says personal service and attention to detail never grow old. “I enjoying getting to know my clients, and nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing a smile on a client’s face after a project is done.” 2
