Big Ben, Macarons and Yachts

Well hello there!! It’s been awhile since I have posted something… Matt and I have been traveling! We left on the 30th and came back on the 10th! I had the best intentions to do some posts while I was away (along with working out) but I just got caught up in our trip – […]

1 month until I turn 30!

November 17th marks 1 month left until I turn 30!! How do I feel about this? not sure. Most of my friends are in their 30’s so I think this helps soften the blow a bit:) I know the time has to come, you can’t stay in your 20’s forever but I really did love […]

Mudroom renovation

Renovation update- we are just waiting on the final plans for our main floor then our renovation can start. I hope to post some pictures of the plans soon! Here are some pictures of our mudroom renovation (next to the sunroom) that we did last summer. It started off with an waste of space with […]

Choosing kitchen appliances

Warning- if you are not shopping for appliances, most likely you will not find this interesting. Until recently I couldn’t tell you what appliances my friends had.

Our renovation has begun

Happy Monday! I just wanted to give you an update on our main floor renovation! We always had an idea of what we wanted to do with the main floor so we didn’t think it would be too difficult putting it on paper. Once we met with a friend of Matt’s to help us get […]

Sunroom Transformation

When we first started this project last summer we debated on whether or not to put money into the room, maybe it was worth it to tear it down and put the money into other projects? We decided that it would be a room we would enjoy and to keep the extra space in our […]

Kitchen Inspiration

Time to start putting ideas together for our main floor renovation! Some people would already have their inspiration board ready months before they start renovating but we are 1-2 months away and I do not have anything. I have an idea of how we would like our kitchen to look like but I just need […]

Sweet Taste of Summer

Summer is finally here and we kicked it off in the best spot… a cottage! We are very lucky to have our sister-in-law’s parents graciously allow us to come up to their cottage throughout the year. Winter is nice but I love the cottage in the summer, I’m sure most people do. My favourite spot […]
