  • Help me Love My Laundry Room

  • The kitchen is now bright and sunny.  The chairs in the dining room are simply fabulous, and now the latest upgrade our multi-purpose kitchen/dining/ and laundry, yes laundry room! received is an Electrolux Laundry IQ-Touch™ washer and dryer in the titanium colour option.  I can’t tell you how life altering these beautiful creatures are.  Actually, I can – but in a moment. Did you ever spy the [...]
  • Rubber Ducky...You're the one

  • It's the first love song I knew the words to:) You can't help but smile when you hear it (or sing it!). Ever since the bathroom got a new mirror I've wanted to add something to the wall behind it. I wanted something subtle because the room is quite long and narrow and I still want your eye to travel to the window, not freeze on a large picture or colourful piece of art. I also wanted s[...]
  • Easy Holiday Pillows: Up-cycling old sweaters

  • I made some fun (and very easy!) holiday decor pillows last week...and even though they are a Christmas gift for someone special (Dad - don't spill the beans!) I just had to share them. If you're still hunting for a great gift, these took about 30 minutes each to make (once you had all your supplies) and are so unique! I had four old pillows, which I used as the stuffing. A trip to Va[...]
  • Mona Lisa #Selfie {an art project}

  • I just finished a super fun (and easy art project) for a friend and I am hesitant to let it go, I love it so much! A few weeks ago while out to lunch with my friend Isabelle, she asked me if I was up for a project. Naturally, my answer was YES!! When Isabelle bought her house, she found this Mona Lisa print in her basement. When I started to pull apart the frame, matting, and print, I discove[...]
  • Christmas around the house

  • The Christmas decorations are up! We go to cut down our tree this coming weekend. Can't wait! I'll be sure to share a picture once it's done:) I ended up changing around the mantle as a result of the newly painted living room. With the bold wall, it need to be simpler. The Nutcrackers moved to the hall table beside the gold tree, and I love them there. And...when the first of December[...]
  • Project Chandelier

  • Our guest room is lovely. But as I mentioned in my PARA Paints #ParaBlogCrew application video, the one thing our guest room lacked was attractive lighting. My mom gave us this chandelier, which came out of her former dressing room before a renovation, but I never really loved the brushed nickel. So I pulled out a can of gold spray paint and got to work:) I swapped out the old tube thi[...]
  • The Evolving Hallway

  • Our hallway evolved a bit more this weekend. A beautiful sunny afternoon, a few hours to myself, and some paint generally mean change is afoot. Such was the case Saturday afternoon. Let's back track a bit though. When we first moved in, the only item in the hallway was a painting. Then we inherited this fabulous sewing table, so it landed there. Once I painted the hallway, I moved the [...]
  • Target Canada Launch Party Fun

  • This past week I was lucky enough to go to the Target Canada Launch Party. I’ve mentioned before my love of Target aka Le Targé. So I was super pumped to check it out. The invitation was sooo pretty. In addition to many fabulous bloggers, there were also some celebrities. I saw Dan Levy (even cuter in person!), Kardinal Official, and apparently SJP was there...I didn’t see her though. I wa[...]
