It wasn't until I sat down to write this post that I realized that I skipped a few updates. I may have forgotten to mention that in the middle of updating a vintage Airstream this Spring/Summer I was also shopping around for a cottage to call my own. It's something I've wanted to explore for a few years and I'm very grateful that I was able to make that dream come true. Mid August I took the leap … [Read more...]

Cheerstream makeover: design plan
Giving a 1980 vintage Airstream a makeover, one cheer at a time. I'm not a huge bucket list type person, I rather go with the flow and see what comes my way, but there are a few things that live somewhere at the back of my mind that keep popping up. One of those things is getting my hands on a vintage Airstream trailer and giving it an overhaul. Thanks to my very good friend, Emily, that … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: Two weeks in Morocco
Kinda looks like this is slowly turning into a travel blog huh? Really though, I love making these posts for myself more than anything. It's my digital travel scrapbook that allows me to go down memory lane later on and remember all the amazing places I've been and the details that would easily get forgotten over time if I didn't make note of them. If it inspires or helps a fellow wanderluster … [Read more...]
Mid-Century Modern Holiday Village
It's been refreshing returning this blog to it's former glory of a creative outlet. That means I only post when I'm truly inspired by something and want to share. So when it comes to the holidays, I'm not mega stressed about creating content in October and scrambling to get it posted. Instead today, less than 2 weeks from Christmas (gasp!), I'm sharing this mid-century modern holiday village I … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: New Mexico Balloon Fiesta
Thanksgiving was a little different around here this year. While most people were perfecting their pumpkin pie making skills and digging out their stretchy pants from the bottom of their closet, I decided to jump on a plane and head to New Mexico. Obviously. Ok, maybe not so obvious. Timing was a bit unfortunate in the family holiday dept but kinda perfect in the travel bucket list dept. A few … [Read more...]
Fall Colour Cookies
Ok, so I may be a bit late for Canadian Thanksgiving but there's still plenty of time for my friends south of the border to whip up some beautiful sweets for your Thanksgiving celebration. Sometimes you get inspired to bake and you just go with it. Autumn is absolutely my favourite season and I just couldn't help but be inspired by all the beautiful fall colours and make some changing fall colour … [Read more...]
Loft Living 10 Year Anniversary
I realized over the weekend that as of today, October 16, it will have been 10 years (!!!) since I got the keys to my loft. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that. It feels like I moved in here maybe 5-6 years ago. This wasn't really planned but I thought the occasion deserved some kind of post to go down decor memory lane and see some of the style changes this place has gone through … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: California Road Trip Part 2
So last time I checked in here I was telling you all about our amazing California road trip. It was so awesome, in fact, that it needed two whole posts. As promised, here I am with part 2. For those sitting at the edge of your seat on public transit (or in a public washroom) while you read this - we last left you in Malibu. Part 1 was all about the city and stunning ocean drive views - with a wild … [Read more...]
Watermelon Margarita Cocktail Recipe
I thought I would squeeze in one more summer cocktail recipe just before the last long weekend of the year...aka the sign for the end of summer. Well that's what everyone seems to believe anyway. I get it....end of August, school starts, I see how it can feel like the end of summer. The reality is that summer goes until September 22 and I personally like to enjoy every last day but I'll give into … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: California Road Trip Part 1
previous postFor real though, it took an amazing and epic California road trip to get me back to blogging. Not because I didn't have good intentions but getting a full-time gig (see my previous post) where I helped to create content every day kinda took all the juice out of me. But leave it up to sunny and beautiful California to get me so excited that I want to share again. It's funny how that … [Read more...]
That Awkward 9 month Update – Life of a TV Set Stylist
Soooooo it's been about 9 months since my last post. Oops! And no, I'm not creating a little human. I thought I needed a short update post on what's been happening before jumping into what's new and exciting. Here's the deal - I unexpectedly ended up getting a job working in TV. I know, don't you hate when that happens? There's obviously a little more to it but essentially I received a phone … [Read more...]
Cucumber Mango Shrimp Salad Recipe
Ok, I know it's Labour Day Long weekend here in Canada which is usually the sign of the end of Summer but common people! Summer doesn't officially end until September 23 so stop looking so depressed. In fact last year September was amazing. You were probably complaining about how hot it was. Let's all just enjoy this long weekend and agree to go with the flow when it comes to the weather. Whether … [Read more...]
Tropical Blue Pineapple Coconut Cocktail Recipe
Whoa nelly! It's been forrrrrever since I've posted. In my defence my laptop died on me which is the main reason. And second I took that as a sign and basically took the summer off to just kick back and enjoy it in all its glory. But mostly because my laptop died. Technically it's still summer so there's time to squeeze in a delish tropical blue pineapple coconut cocktail recipe before it's time … [Read more...]
Outdoor DIY Boho Wall Hanging
Man oh man, this summer is flying by! For real. I can't believe it. I feel like it was just yesterday when I was racing to get my patio makeover done for June 1 and now it's mid-July. Sorry for the delay in getting you this tutorial but I've been extremely busy cottaging, patio hopping and tending to my plant wall and urban garden (which has gone nuts btw). But as promised, today I'm sharing the … [Read more...]
