Furniture Refinishing: TV Wall Unit

Welcome to another fun Furniture Friday! This one is a looooong time in coming, and I am SO excited to finally be able to share it! When we lived in Ottawa (so, like 2.5 years ago?) I found this fabulous wall unit second hand for a steal of a deal and just had to have […]

Mason Jar Display Wall – Take 2

Mason Jar Display Wall – Take 2

Remember when I thought it would be such a good idea to plant my herbs in mason jars and hang them on my walls? Yeah. I should’ve realized that you don’t put some things where the sun don’t shine and expect them to thrive. Long story short, the herbs moved to my kitchen windowsill, where […]

DIY Chalkboards

Sometimes when you least expect it you happen upon the best finds. I’ve been finding our bedroom too dark and gray for summer, and as we were walking through the mall the other day in search of a white tube top (don’t ask), we happened past clearance duvet covers, and look what I grabbed for […]

Making an Entrance!

Making an Entrance!

It’s hot here. Not just a little bit hot, but a lot hot. So hot that I let little B drink out of any and everything she finds, and I don’t even tell her to sit like a lady while she does it :). But really, who can say no to this face? It’s the […]

Home Improvements: Little Boy Blue

Since I showed you Gemma’s bedroom, I thought I’d share Kristopher’s room too!   I love his room almost as much as hers! Although I was sad to sell my little toddler bed and replace it with a full size twin bed, we were so thankful to get the bunk beds from some friends who […]

Home Improvements: Pretty in Pink

I think my favorite room in our house is Gemma’s bedroom.  When we moved in, I already loved the room, with its sloped side ceilings, the white planks in the center of the ceiling, and the airy feel with all the gorgeous light coming in the window. It often takes me a long time to […]

What a sham: DIY Pillow Covers

Friday! So much less exciting when you are a parent than when you are a teenager! Unless you have recovered all your throw pillows! In which case, exciting! I love throw cushions.  I know they are a little silly, don’t get used a whole lot, and spend a fair bit of time on the floor, […]

Furniture Refinish: Coffee Table

Furniture Refinish: Coffee Table

Have you noticed how all our Friday posts have catchy titles with “Friday” in them, but absolutely NO consistency?  Fashion Friday, Freaky Friday, Furniture Friday…wait, are you seeing consistency yet? You got it, we’re throwing out f-words like nobody’s business ;) Anyway, I feel I’ve mentioned my new house in passing a few times without […]

Couch configurations

Couch configurations

I need help. Not mental help.  I don’t think.  Well, I do think.  I don’t think I need mental help.  Yet. Anyways. Since moving back to BC we bought a very comfy sectional, something we always wanted and a big improvement in looks from inherited green and cream plaid, but I’m just not sure which […]
