Remember how I painted that chevron ceiling in my entryway back in the winter? Well, I was all revved up to make other changes to the hallway, but then 6 months passed and nothing had happened. Whoops. Anyway, I finally got my act together and took a thrifted piece of artwork and turned it into a mint framed mirror. Here is a really early picture of the entry-way, pre-painted ceiling. See that ... View the Post
a baby shower
Remember that paint chip mobile I made the other day for two of my most favourite friends and their little guy on the way? Well, a few weekends ago we threw a baby shower for those same friends. And since I was part of the "planning committee", you can be sure it was full of DIY decorations and games. First up: decorations. I re-used some of the tissue flowers from another event (see those ... View the Post

As you know, I recently got back from a girls trip to Nicaragua. It was amazing. Firstly because the country is lovely (more on that below) and secondly because I just love my girlfriends. They are two of my most favourite people in the world, and it was so good to reconnect with them and get them all to myself for 10 days (they live out on the west coast of Canada, so I rarely get to see them). I ... View the Post

I love doing kids rooms - you can have so much more fun with colour and pattern, and people are usually way more up for out-of-the-box stuff! Anyway, I'm chipping away at the room and so won't have any big ... View the Post
review: Comfort Works karlstad slipcover
I love lots of things about IKEA. The affordable furniture. The sleek designs. And with their upholstered pieces, the ability to remove the covers to wash them or change them up. Last fall we got a new-to-us Karlstad sofa (you can check that out here). It was in great shape, but I never really loved the dark gray cover. Usually I'm a big gray fan, but this one was just a bit too navy blue/denim ... View the Post
