Shop the Sweet Escape Muskoka: Wall Art

July 5, 2020 by TheSweetEscape 3 Comments

By far my favourite part of having a cottage is the fresh blank canvas to decorate. Let's be honest, that's what got me through all the hard work of fixing it up. This girl just wants to decorate, you know what what I mean? Being that it is a seasonal cottage and a short term rental on Air BnB there were a few things I needed to consider. Mostly I wanted to have fun with decor and art because … [Read more...]

Sweet Escape Muskoka: Cottage Makeover

June 29, 2020 by TheSweetEscape 1 Comment

When it rains it pours around here. I have yet another Sweet Escape Muskoka Cottage update for you. In my last post I revealed the small but impactful kitchen makeover and today I'm ready to share the rest of the cottage makeover with you! Just to set the scene (for those who are new here) I bought a 700 sq/ft seasonal cottage in Muskoka in August 2019 and have slowly been fixing it up 95% … [Read more...]

Sweet Escape Muskoka: Cottage Kitchen reveal

May 27, 2020 by TheSweetEscape 3 Comments

cottage kitchen makeover

Wowza! where did the time go? It feels both like ages ago and just yesterday that I shared my cottage kitchen makeover plan with you. Here's the deal, things don't always go as planned especially with a reno. I think we all know that. For me being a cottage owner newbie I didn't quite know how to handle the the whole cottage shuts down for the winter thing. That just wasn't going to work with my … [Read more...]

Sweet Escape Muskoka: Cottage Kitchen Makeover Plan

October 22, 2019 by TheSweetEscape 5 Comments

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...]

September 10, 2019 by TheSweetEscape 16 Comments

It was wayyyyyyyyy back in April that Emily and I officially started the wheels in motion (pun intended) on this Airstream makeover and the ol' Cheerstream's time in the beauty chair is finally up and she's ready for her big reveal. Just in case you're new here, visit this post to get caught up on what me and my bestie, Emily were up to this … [Read more...]

Cheerstream makeover: design plan

June 20, 2019 by TheSweetEscape 3 Comments

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. I've spent a long time Googling … [Read more...]

Sweet Escape: Two weeks in Morocco

April 13, 2019 by TheSweetEscape 5 Comments

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

December 12, 2018 by TheSweetEscape 21 Comments

mid-century-modern-laser-cut-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

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

fall colour ombre cookies for thanksgiving by The Sweet Escape

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

October 16, 2018 by TheSweetEscape 4 Comments

10-year-loft-living-header

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

Southern California Roadtrip Salvation Mountain

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

watermelon margarita summer 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...]

california pacific coast highway road trip

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

June 2, 2018 by TheSweetEscape 1 Comment

CBC The Goods Hosts, 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...]
