{SPACES: hanging around}
Here I am day dreaming about my imaginary home again. Well this time my day dream isn’t totally unrealistic. I love my loft but one drawback of living in one big room is that you kinda have to stick with one look and everything has to work together. Awhile back I posted about how great…

{thrifting 101: centrepiece of old treasures}
I love when treasures of past come together with new treasures to make a complete look. I found this amazing vintage milk bottle carrier at a garage sale (!) during a cottage weekend. I admit, they aren’t very common to come by outside of antique shops or online but if you’re loving this look, it…

Wow, time is going by at lightening speed. I feel like I was just at Alt Design Summit in San Fran and now it’s already time for Toronto’s BlogPodium this coming Saturday. I’m really looking forward to meeting local bloggers and experts. One of my goals is to do more collaborations in the future so…

{artist showcase: Fabienne Rivory}
How much do you love these pieces from Paris-based artist Fabienne Rivory? This is her 2013 collection named Miroir. The simplicity of the black & white reflective photos with the perfectly-places yet free flowing pops of watercolour are beautiful. Do you think if I moved to Paris I could make art this lovely? You can have…

{ETSY LOVE: feeling flamingo}
I came across this amazing pic and kinda fell in love. I wandered over to Etsy to see if I could feed my new flamingo fever. Who knew there’s so much great flamingo goods to be had. Such a great pop of colour! shop etsy: 1/2/3/4/5/6 (photo source)

{GOOD EATS: chocolate zucchini loaf}
Guys I just had to pass along this recipe. It’s so good that I made twice in two days! Plus everyone seems to have zucchinis laying around that they don’t know what to do with. I took this original recipe and cut out much of the sugar, upped the whole wheat flour and made it a loaf…

{VINTAGE STYLE: black, brown & gold}
I’m very excited to bring you the first of many creative photo & style posts that I worked on with the talented Maya Visnyei. Maya and I met back in May when my loft was photographed for Covet Garden (pre-order here for November delivery). I can’t tell you how happy I was when she reached out recently and asked if…

EVENTS: summer outdoor movie night
Something I’ve wanted to do ever since I moved into my place with a big rooftop patio is host an outdoor movie night up there. It only took 5 years but I made it happen! Here was the invite I designed. I kept the guest list pretty small because I wanted everyone to have a…

{ SPACES: time to get a new clock }
So this is kinda random but when I’m watching T.V. I like to know what time it is without having to check my phone or switch channels. I’m old fashioned like that. I have the perfect spot on my credenza for a clock but of course it has to look good and fit in with…

{SPACES: my dream room}

DIY: patio party decor
Yesterday I posted about a great dinner party I hosted on my rooftop patio that included a few DIY decor projects that I promised I would share. These projects were especially great because it was a chance to be creative with what I had around my place. I made three decor elements; some bunting to…

EVENTS: summer rooftop outdoor dinner party
I admit, I’m a lucky girl with an amazing outdoor space right in the middle of the city. It’s pretty great. The sad part is that I don’t feel like it gets used enough, especially with our short summers. So when my good friends from out of town told me they were coming for a…

{ style: love your lunch }
Happy Labour Day! It’s kinda sad that this long weekend marks the unofficial end of summer because summer doesn’t technically end until September 22. But we all know that the major sign of the end of summer is that time of year that some people dread and others are giddy with excitement – back to…
