Book Nook – 17 of the coziest reading spots on the internet
There’s just something about Fall that brings out all of my animal instincts. The urge to stockpile food for winter and start “nesting” before hibernating this winter. Part of this pull is the idea of a cozy chair, warm lighting and a good book as the evenings become shorter and shorter. Perhaps it’s just that I’ve […]
Fall Front Porch
Labour Day weekend marks the beginning of Fall over here (over here being my house), and with it comes the light smattering of Fall decor here and there throughout the house.

DIY Cedar Patio Table
The Rogue Engineer put up a photo on Instagram the other day of a DIY cedar patio table that he had made out of scrap wood after a deck build. As soon as I saw it, I wanted one. The X-brace legs and angled feet – gorgeous! But, and like 36% of the population in North […]
