It’s REVEAL DAY!
The Fall 2018 One Room Challenge is done and we are so thrilled with the results of our basement office transformation.
Remember this?
That was Sherri’s home office before.
The bi-annual One Room Challenge (with media partner Better Homes and Gardens) is in Week 5 (of 6) and the checklist is going down!

As you may know, I’m in the midst of the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge and I’m working with my friend Sherri – contractor and owner of Details Renovations. Sherri is footing the bill for her home office makeover and allowing me to come in, learn, […]
Do you have a neighbour that does weird things? Maybe they put out their Hallowe’en decorations in August or their garage is always open and it’s chock-full of chaos.
I’m that neighbour – and it’s to the point now where my neighbours don’t even bat an eye when they […]
The bi-annual One Room Challenge (with media partner Better Homes and Gardens) is in Week 2 (of 6) and we’ve made some awesome progress!

I’ve been working on a board and batten accent wall in my master bedroom this week, and the entire build – from purchasing the wood to the second coat of paint was all done in ONE DAY.
Seriously – we started Monday morning at 10am and I had finished up the second coat by 8pm (keep in mind a lot of that was drying time […]
It’s time!
The bi-annual One Room Challenge (with media partner Better Homes and Gardens) is underway!
For those of you that haven’t followed along as I’ve tackled the One Room Challenge before;

This post came about because I am a seasonal gardener.
In the Spring I can’t wait to get to the nurseries and fill my planters with bright, beautiful flowers. I water them every second day and give them fertilizer once a week…
for about a month and a half…
then I’m tired of it. July/August seem to call for […]
Who would have thought that industrial pipe and plywood could create a stunning piece of decor for your home? This industrial pipe men’s valet / coat rack is urban, rustic, steam punk and functional all in one!
I was over helping my friend Sherri out the other day and I noticed this impressive industrial pipe valet she had built.
It is spectacular! Truly – I’m not […]
My friend sent me a photo of an adorable owl made from branch slices that she’d seen in a shop somewhere. I had a bit of Fall pruning that needed doing – so it seemed serendipitous that I should attempt to make my own branch slice owl in awesome Hallowe’en colours.
*Note: Cutting the branch into thin slices, on an angle, is not […]
I don’t know where to begin with this post – I didn’t have plans to start decorating for Fall for another couple of weeks, but I was purging crap from in the basement… I got to my throw pillow covers and then suddenly I decided my couches were filthy (you can’t put clean […]
I have had so much fun puttering away in the she-shop lately. Yes, it’s been hot and muggy, but the thought of the kids heading back-to-school has me giddy with glee! I thought I’d rush the big day a little, and decorate my home to celebrate my favourite (their least favourite) day of […]
Remember the coffee table from the other week? The one I dismantled and repurposed into a chalkboard command centre and a vignette of rustic candlesticks? Well today I’m using up the last piece of that coffee table – the top – to create an awesome DIY dry-erase board.
Let me start by reminding you what the coffee table looked like […]
These are the pendant lights that we’ve had hanging in our kitchen for the past 13 years. They’re okay. They match the stainless steel appliances and up until a few months ago they worked – but something happened and (even with new bulbs) suddenly 2 of the […]
I know, I know – its August and the weather is more-than-balmy, but for my Southern U.S. readers back-to-school is days away. You can’t help but think of Fall when the school books and backpacks come out, so I thought I’d get a jump-start (and show you how to save some money) by decorating your Fall front porch now.
Greenhouses plant Chrysanthemums on staggered dates to ‘force’ […]
Remember the coffee table I was working on the other day? Well, project two of my repurposing/upcycling adventure was to take the legs from the table and make them into these beautiful, rustic candle holders.
Did I mention that these were completely free? Free, fun and repurposing are three of my favourite things!
I got my destruction on by dismantling the worn out coffee table.
We built our house in 2005 and had agreed on a few upgrades for our dream home, but toilets were not even remotely in the running as items we were going to spend time researching or allocating additional funds to. Builder’s grade bowls seemed adequate, and really, […]
