What's my home decor style? Take the 2 minute quiz!
As much as I appreciate a bright white room, I love shots of bold colour so much more! With the help of BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ULTRA® Interior Paint & Primer in One and the 2018 BEHR Colour Trends Palette, I got to infuse a little boy’s bedroom with the most delicious shots of colour, turning…
You guys know I LOVE my coffee. And I know that there are lots of you that love it too! This season, I thought it would be a good idea to create a little coffee station right where I need it most – by my bed! This Fall coffee station in tones of copper and…
“Spooky… but not too spooky!” These were the directions 5 year old Little A gave me while we were planning our Halloween decor this year. We don’t usually decorate too much for Halloween, but this year we wanted to do a few things to make our house look “spooky, but not too spooky” for the…
Fall feels like such a short season here in Alberta, Canada – it’s almost like we go right from summer to winter! – but I want to enjoy it to its fullest. On a warm stretch last week, I made our new back patio nice and cozy and ready for some Fall marshmallow roasting by…
You don’t need to spend a lot of time & money to make a beautiful looking table setting this Thanksgiving. Let me share with you my cozy & natural Thanksgiving table, and make sure to visit all of my fellow Canadian blogging friends’ Thanksgiving table ideas at the bottom of this post!
It’s Fall! That means it’s time for me to welcome you into our home for a latte and to share some seasonal decorating ideas with you. Won’t you come on a Fall home tour with me? After you’ve had a peek, make sure to visit all of the Canadian bloggers that are also sharing their…
After a summer of spending lots of time together as a family, I’m ready to start entertaining in our home again by inviting more friends over for dinner! Since Fall is my favourite season, I had a lot of fun putting together a Fall table setting idea in our dining room using lots of different…
While some people like to decorate with neutral colours for Fall, I like to embrace colour in my decor in Autumn! Here’s a look at how I decorated our front porch for the season with cheerful colours and lots of texture. Make sure to also visit my blogging friends’ porch decor posts that are linked…
Thanksgiving Day is next Monday (for us Canadians), and it’s one of my favourite holidays. It’s not just for the pumpkin pie and turkey (which I am SO looking forward to this year as it will be the first extended family dinner that I’ve ever hosted in our new house)! I love Thanksgiving because it…
Cozy. Safe. Relaxed. Happy. These are the words that I hope come to mind when people enter our home. I feel like the job of making our home into a safe haven for my husband, my children and our guests is an important one. As I slowly configure and reconfigure all of the rooms in our…
Fall weather arrived here quite quickly. It’s suddenly really cold! The brisk air definitely makes me feel like decorating our home for Fall, so last week we cozied our porch up a little. Let me show you our porch’s Fall decor, give you some ideas on how you can decorate your outdoor space for Fall, and…
I’m so excited that we’re heading into Fall and that I get to break out all of the rich, jewel toned colours for my crafts and decor! This year, we’re hosting both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner at our home, so I’m really looking forward to making our house feel festive and cozy for our guests….
Did you know that it’s totally OK for your home decor style (and skill level!) to slowly evolve over time? I think everyone’s does as they grow and change. My home decor style has certainly evolved over the last few years as we’ve settled into the new home that we built and I’ve become better…
There’s nothing more fun than trying to create something out of what other people would consider junk. Am I right? It’s easy to buy something pretty and new, but it requires a lot more creativity to make something pretty out of something old. For this year’s Fall wreath, I wanted to make something out of…
Welcome to Our DIY House on this fine Fall day. Why don’t you come in and I’ll make you a vanilla latte? Or… wait! You simply must take a walk with us outside first. It’s just too gorgeous out here in the autumn. We fell in love with our country acreage exactly 9 years ago…
Fresh forest foraged Fall wreath. Say that 10 times fast! Today I have the exciting task of sharing a Fall DIY wreath idea with you along with a whole bunch of my favourite fellow Canadian bloggers. This Fall, I wanted to create a wreath from things I foraged in our backyard. Not only is it a cost…
I was telling a friend the other day that I really needed to make our living room a little more “manly”. Our home has become a place with a lot of sparkle and flowers and fluff which I think makes sense considering there are four girls living here. However, my original vision for our home decor…
There’s nothing quite like a steaming hot latte on a crisp Fall morning, am I right? I’ve recently started a plan to cut out all white sugar and white flour from my diet – basically the processed stuff. I LOVE my coffees in the morning, and I especially love lattes. Last week, I discovered a…
I had a whirlwind couple of days this past weekend attending BlogPodium in Toronto (which was AWESOME!), and now that I’m back home I’m ready to snuggle down and cozy our home up for Fall. I’ve decorated our Autumn mantel very simply this year, but I really think it’s pretty so I thought I’d share it…
