PickNics Celebrates 15 years in Business

Nicola Lawson, Owner & Manager of PickNic’s Catering Saskatoon, began her culinary training at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, in Edmonton, and completed the required schooling to begin her three-year apprenticeship as a commercial baker. Upon graduation from the program, she began her career in the food industry working at a variety of establishments all across Canada. Nicola has managed and worked at a variety of food and beverage establishments throughout the world. Her travels have taken her to the Yukon, where she managed the pastry shop of a hotel, to the cultural mecca of Capetown, South Africa, managing an in-store grocery bakery and then on to sunny Bermuda, where she took time from her busy sun-bathing schedule to run a classy resort’s pastry department. She returned to Canada to find her extended family had since moved from Alberta and settled in Saskatoon. So, a short hiatus in the Bridge City turned into a winter job contract commitment and not after too long she was smitten with the city! She and her 2 beautiful children have been living here happily ever since!

To be in business for 15 years with the ups and downs of the economy is not easy but Nicola and her team have been very successful. A huge part of this is their passion, quality, service and commitment to being the best caterer in Saskatoon. 

Nicola Lawson is recognized as a leader in the Saskatoon business community. She is a driving force and founding member of the 33rd Street Business Improvement District in which her business is located.  She is an active member of the Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses, Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan and Saskatoon Women’s Network. 

She is actively involved in her own community as a member of the Meadowgreen Community Association. 

 In addition, she has been nominated for several business awards including:

Here they share their Riley reclining style:

It is the end of a long day and you deserve to relax…

You worked hard to get everything done at the office today. You hurried over to the school in time to proudly watch your child participate in the last game of the year. It was difficult to sit on the hard wooden bleachers because, let’s face it, none of us are getting any younger, so your back is sore and feeling the effects of the day. You stretch and try to live a healthy lifestyle but sometimes life gets busy and your good habits are sacrificed for convenience.

We completely understand.

So we encourage you to do something for you. The house is now quiet. The kids are in bed, the gentle hum of the dishwasher can be heard and the only thing left to do is take some time for you – watch your show, do some reading, whatever relaxes you. You take a seat and exhale…

Ahhh…

You gently touch the power controls and start to recline.

You feel the tension on your hips release as your head goes back and your feet come up. You get carried away and go a bit too far back…

No worries…

You touch the other control and bring yourself back up a bit. Now for the final adjustment you ever so slightly power the headrest forward so you can view the TV with ease. Creating complete comfort in the position that is perfect for you. That is the beauty of having a power recliner with power headrest – infinite positions and total comfort. No stress.

We at Palliser Rooms / EQ3 in Saskatoon are proud to feature the Riley reclining style. As the images show, it is the perfect combination of comfort and beauty. You must come to the store and try it out for yourself, let your worries melt away. Available as a sofa, loveseat, chair or sectional, you will be sure to find the right fit for your home.

Creating a Family-Friendly Dining Room

A Family-friendly dining room that works for casual and formal gatherings is a great update for households that like to entertain. Paying attention to the details and focusing on how the space will be used can lead to a space that feels comfortable enough for a family gathering and formal enough for a dinner party.

Learn more about this beautiful and versatile space and get some great tips how to create your own family friendly dining room in this interview with designer William MacDonald!

BDMS: What were your clients’ needs for this space?

William MacDonald: They wanted the space to be light and airy family-friendly and with enough seating space for extended family events.

BDMS: Were there any challenges to designing this space?

WM: Initially I had plans for a carpet but leaving the carpet out provides a sense of the casual easiness with a lot less maintenance.

BDMS: Do you have any special considerations or requirements when creating a dining room?

WM: Yes absolutely I like dining rooms that have very comfortable seats, no benches! And various sources of light for example pot lights a central chandelier, picture lights etc. I also like a big dining room that allows people to move around easily.

BDMS: How does the flooring play into your design?

WM: The flooring is a great part of the overall design after all it is the fifth wall. And in dining rooms I prefer elegant easily maintained floors ...and floors that allow for chairs to easily move back-and-forth.

BDMS: What makes this room functional?

WM: This room is made functional buy the use of the built-in sideboard and storage, it has three points of entry and is located next to the kitchen via a butler's pantry. The table is also expendable and can seat 18 people.

BDMS: Why did you choose these colors?

WM: I wanted to create a calm, serene and elegant space that could work both casually and formally and for day or night. So using shades of white gray and brown makes sense as it ticks all of those boxes.

BDMS: What is your favorite aspect of this room?

WM: My favorite aspect of this room is the architecture - the moldings and the internal windows that provides drama and character. Also the chandelier -  it's very unique and acts as a wonderful focal point for the room.

BDMS: What did you client like the most?

WM: That's a good question I asked my client and she said it was impossible to answer as she loved the design I created, but she said the thing she likes the most was how she felt in the room..."at home." As a designer this is the ultimate complement.
