BEFORE & AFTER: bedroom loft makeover
I’m on a major roll here. Another one of my own before & after projects. So after I got my beautiful new railing it was time to take care of those other lingering projects. First up was what lies on the other side of the railing, my bedroom. It’s definitely the most awkward space in…

{SPACES: camping on wheels}
Happy Victoria Day everyone! I’m spending the day at home catching up on projects on my patio. Hopefully I get done early and have a little time to kick back and enjoy the patio. But for the past two days I was out enjoying mother nature in the heart of it with a few girlfriends.…

{spaces: inspiration}
With all the decor projects going on in my own loft these days I thought it was a good time to share some of my favourite places to go for online home decor inspiration. The list of resources really is endless but here’s just a handful that I go to on a regular basis. Warning…

{spaces: pink’n yellow}
I came across this recent cover from UK magazine Company and was inspired by the colour palette. I love the yellow dress and the pop of pinks. The first thing that popped into my head was using these colours in a space. Apparently I’m not alone because I found a bunch of great home decor…

{artsy souvenirs}
One of the sweetest escapes in the world is, well, exploring the world.Aside from photos and memories of course, my favourite souvenirs from my trips are artistic ones. Having a creative memento in my home from a trip is such a great way to take me back to that place. My latest adventure was a trip…

BEFORE & AFTER: sliding bathroom door
Another before & after from my own space. I’ve made my loft very cozy and eclectic and the metal sliding bathroom door that came with the place just didn’t do it for me. After consulting with a bathroom designer, they gave me the idea of changing it to the one I chose. I also spoke…

BEFORE & AFTER: curtain makeover
Get ready for a series of before & afters’s from my very own little corner of the world. When I moved into my loft over 4 years ago it was the ultimate bachelor pad and the colour palette on the walls was beige, dark green & maroon.(gross) There is no better motivation than hosting a…

{posters & spaces}
A few days behind here but I’m madly in love with these Mad Men posters that I just came across. Designed by South African studio Radio. I love the monochromatic colour schemes. They would look great as a collection but also each on it’s own. Pair it up with something similar in your space. I think…

{SPACES: covet garden}
A great way to start the day is finding an email in your inbox with a link to the brand new online issue of Covet Garden. What I love most about Covet Garden is that it’s Canadian content. It’s so great to know that the beautiful spaces they’re showcasing may be around the corner. Whatever…

{SPACES: big style in a small space}
I’m very happy to be showcasing this beautiful space owned by my beautiful friend, Marie-Lou. This space is fit for a magazine – no staging or styling necessary. I guess I would expect no less from someone who buys stylish furniture for a living. This space is a perfect example of how you don’t have…

{spaces: february florals}
February blues? What blues? Not when you can bring spring into your home. One of the perks of being an Art Director is that every once and awhile you can take home the props. Today we did a shoot for Mother’s Day (pics to come) which involved some beautiful Spring flowers, including my all time…

{and}
For all the type-lovers out there, eat your heart out. My new piece arrived in the mail today. I still have to put the lights in but I love!

{succulent lies}
I’m not sure where it came from but last week I was hit with drive to scratch off a bunch of stuff on my ‘house decor to do list’. I think it’s because someone who has never been to place before was coming for dinner. That’s usually when I’m driven to do anything, especially clean.…

{home sweet home}
Usually a trailer or trailer park wouldn’t be at the top of people’s ideal living quarters lists but that may change when you see this creative and interesting living concept. There isn’t lots of background info on the project or where it’s located but I call it an innovative take on the condo concept. (source)
