I bought 4 beautiful botanical prints from the Christie Antique Show a few years and decided to hang them in the one corner of my home office as it needed some love. There was a problem though…the prints were an awkward size and none of the standard frames or mats would work with the prints! […]
I’m excited to talk about our exterior renovation. It was a big project that didn’t end until a few months ago! We moved into our home over 10 years ago and I would never expect that our house could look the way it does now. This is what our house looked like when we moved […]

I wanted to surprise my son and have the room completely finished when he opened his bedroom door. While he slept over at Grandma and Grandpa’s […]

As Christmas is only days away, I’m finding myself thinking of the new year and what I would like to accomplish. At the top of my list is redecorating our master bedroom. It’s just not working for us, it looks fine the way it is but I know it can be MUCH better. I’ve been […]

Happy Friday!! I’m very pleased to show you the final reveal of our kitchen! We decided to redesign the main floor of our house in 2013. That meant ripping down all the drywall, tearing up all of the flooring, replacing all of the windows, removing a stone fireplace, reworking the plumbing and electrical, removing a […]
After we renovated our kitchen, I knew our window needed some type of window treatment but I didn’t know what to use until I read this post on Young House Love that featured faux wood blinds from the Home Depot. Luckily our Home Depot in Canada carried the same blinds! After seeing them in person, […]
