{SPACES: Therapy for your Apartment}
I feel like my passion for home decor has been a little under represented on here lately. I think it may have something to do with me starting my weekly gig as a contributor for Apartment Therapy and that’s where most of my home decor love has been going recently. I just love admiring pretty…

{THRIFTING 101: a simple green centerpiece}
I thought St. Patrick’s was a great day to share this recent centerpiece I put together full of thrifted finds and simple greens. Last week I attended a delicious dinner event (more about that coming later) hosted by a chef friend of mine. It was his first event and first venture out on his own…

{SPACES: velvet crush}
I have a major crush. But it’s not a secret, I’ll tell anyone who wants to listen. I’m in love with velvet. Big time. I feel like I’ve been searching for my perfect sofa for oh…my whole life. I know dramatic. I’ve also changed my mind about a million times which is probably part of…

I really, really, really, really wish I had this blog thing going when I moved into this loft just over 5 years ago. Man, the amount of awesome before & after content! But luckily there are still a few projects waiting to be done years later for me to share with you. And who are…

It was full of their spring decor goodies that are sure to give you some winter cabin fever and make you super excited for what’s in store at Homesense for spring. Overall the…

{SPACES: pretty in purple}
Ok, so it isn’t exactly Radiant Orchid but it’s pretty close. In fact I would say that Radiant Orchid falls under the Purple colour umbrella. What’s interesting is that I actually put together this trend board before the new year and Pantone’s Colour of the Year announcement. I guess that just means I’m incredibly trend…

BEFORE & AFTER: rags to riches, folding chair makeover
I’m a hunter & scavenger of the vintage kind. There’s nothing that gets me more excited that finding thrifted treasures for pennies and up-cycling them into something fabulous. For this project it’s a set of dated brown folding chairs and dress that’s a little too dated for even me to pull off but the fabric…

{SPACES: holiday around the loft}
With all my holiday decor DIY projects that I posted this year you probably have a pretty good idea of what christmas around my loft looks like. Just for a quick recap I made snowy shadow boxes, turned a sweater into stocking, make some art for the mantel, a winter scene from an old light…

I get a little excited when I have guests over and go a little crazy wanting to try every recipe & entertaining tip I’ve pinned in the last…

{SPACES: thinking in spirals}
I’m so attracted to spiral staircases. I think they’re just such a feature in a space, I wish they were more common. I mean they have a practical space-saving functionality but they’re also just beautiful. Depending on the style, they can add an element of romance, playfulness or interest to your space. But mostly they…

{SPACES: displaying your books}
Are you a big reader? Or really nostalgic when it comes to books? Or you just can bare to get rid of all your books even though you have yourself a shiny new e-book reader? Maybe all of the above? A book collection should never just be set aside on a book shelf taking up…
