I was a little torn in posting this;
I LOVE my home.
I love it in all it’s messiness and chaos – as far as I’m concerned this is my ‘forever home’…
but it’s not to the calibre of the images I see of other bloggers’ homes.
At the very least, my photographic skills (while I am working on them) are not to the calibre of my favourite bloggers, so I feel self-conscious in showing this Holiday Home Tour to you.
On the other hand – […]
As part of our foyer makeover from last weekend, I really needed to do something with this:
It’s our family photo gallery wall that I had created going down our staircase. There really was no rhyme or reason to my positioning; as I found a new photo I loved (and got around to getting a frame for it), I’d just add it to […]
I have disliked the colour of my foyer (almost) from the day it was painted. I paid an interior designer to come to my home and choose colours for me, and she chose this Wilmington Tan by BM as a compliment to other colours I had in the house – and it was. Her choice was spot-on – together the colours looked amazing. I had rich jewel tones on my main floor so this was a perfect compliment.
BUT, something about […]
It’s been a couple of years since I posted a photo of my craft room; mainly because it was completely disorganized and chaotic for most of that time.
Well, now that cooler weather is upon us and I hope to do a few indoor projects, tidying and organizing it seemed like a good idea.
My craft room (like most of yours I’m sure) is tucked away in the basement. We had originally finished the room and ensuite bathroom to be used as […]
Do you have a room (or more) in your house that is under-utilized? Something you’ve set up for a certain function, but then never gets used at all?
That’s my basement.
Before Chloe was born I insisted that Hubby finish our basement. I was adamant that we needed a playroom for the girls toys, and that it would keep the majority of the mess off of the main floor. He re-did most of it himself, to the tune of about $16,000 and […]
With anticipation of my new furniture arriving, as well as the changing of the seasons, I did some research on “How to Style Bookshelves”.
Seems bookshelves are not really aesthetically pleasing when covered by books.
Who knew?
I reviewed several design blogs and found some tips that helped me to figure out what this ‘styling’ business is about:
I have a bit of a story here…
We bought our sofas 20 years ago.
Yup, they were the first “real” furniture I bought and owned that wasn’t a hand-me-down. I loved those sofas, and they held up really well, but 20 years does take its toll and not even plastic boards under the cushions could bring back the firmness they once had.
It became difficult to get in and out of them, and the armrests were now at shoulder height because you’d […]
We’re sort of between seasons here. Just past Valentine’s, too early for Easter, not quite Spring cleaning season, or Spring planting…
What to do, what to do?
I haven’t organized anything in awhile, and it’s not like this house of mine couldn’t use some organization…
Given this:
I’d say the dining room hasn’t been looked at in awhile.
I’ve compiled a list of things – probably not comprehensive – but everything I had to […]
If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, you may have noticed that I’ve never shown my kitchen on here.
Bits of counter, a cupboard or drawer, fridge and even pantry – but never the kitchen in it’s entirety.
This is why:

I think I have some kind of hormonal imbalance. A fluctuating one, because some days I can cope with mess (I’m not happy about it, but I can cope) then other days I want to throw everything out. Maybe I have a super-power that no other mere mortal has… clutter vision.
We have a small mudroom in our house and Hubby has built […]
