{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…

{recycled style: old magazines}
What a great idea for any old magazines you’ve been sitting on. No pun intended. Ok, totally intended. I came across this great idea from German designers NJU Studio via Inhabitat Design. It’s a great way to recycle your old mags into something stylish and useful. They put together a DIY kit that gives you the tools to turn…

{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…

{new work: mother’s day beauty}
I just updated my portfolio and thought I would take a minute to show some recent work of mine that happens to be Mother’s Day themed (just in case you haven’t been reminded enough – this Sunday is Mother’s Day!). We decided to keep the design & layout very simple & clean and to really just…

I recently came across the bright and bold work of Amy Sia and had to share. She’s an Australian textile print designer based out of London. As it turns out her amazing work is no secret as her prints and patterns have been featured globally. But if you haven’t come across her work before he’s…

Let the flea market crawl begin! Check out these great finds I picked up at the Almonte Flea Market last weekend while I was there for Handmade Harvest. I definitely have a weakness for housewares but check out the neon water canteen I found in mint condition. In love! I will never be unfashionably thirsty…

{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: Bold & Gold
One of the first things to take care of for my patio beautification project is to give these super sad planters a makeover. It wasn’t in the budget to buy new ones and I didn’t want to fill up the landfill with more trash so I thought I could give them a makeover. I’m convinced…

{good eats: cinco de mayo}
Even if you’re not Mexican you can get in touch with your inner Mexican self this weekend and celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It’s a great reason to get a group together for a celebration full of food, colour and cocktails. Speaking of food and cocktails, here’s a handful of new twists on some classic Mexican…

{handmade: harvest time}
Isn’t it great how many options there are for the non-crafty types who like to have and give crafty things? Or more like the ‘I wish I had time to do stuff like that’ types. Sure, Etsy is amazing and we’re all guilty of spending just a tiny bit of time browsing & buying on…

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…
