{SPACES: around my loft}
So a little while ago my super talented photographer friend, Maya, asked if she could come and take some still life photos around my place. She’s an extremely sweet person and these are my words, not hers but basically she was like “you have more stuff than anyone I know…may I please come and shoot…

{ 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: a pop of yellow}
I know it’s fall and everything but it’s the colour yellow that’s got me feeling all warm and fuzzy this morning. There’s something so fresh about a pop of yellow in a space. It can be youthful but also classic. It can be fun & quirky or slick & modern. Even people who are not…

{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…

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: a stylish workspace}
So it’s been two weeks since my last day. So far, so good. I still don’t quite have the daily routine thing happening. There’s been a lot of organizing & catching up and it doesn’t help that I’m easily distracted. One thing is for sure, I need to set myself up with a proper workspace.…

{SPACES: chairs as colourful as you}
Who says everything always has to match? Well I definitely don’t say that, pretty much ever. I think people get the idea that when it comes to furniture, mixing and matching is a good thing and pre-packeged ‘sets’ are a bad thing (no offence if you have one, I’m happy to help you with that…

{SPACES: a dream home in Brazil}
Warning! This home is going to stop you in your tracks so make sure you’re not multi-tasking. This stunning space is actually a secondary vacation home to someone living the dream in Brazil. Its design blends in beautifully with its scenic surroundings which helps to camouflage it’s size & scale. Inside it’s almost all open and…

{thrifting 101: milk glass party}
I’m a sucker for milk glass, as anyone can see by the shelf full of the stuff in my own place. I love that it has such a distinctive vintage look but can also be incorporated in a more modern space (when done right). In a way it’s really timeless. Here are two great pieces…

SPACES: plants as decor
Do you have a green thumb? I definitely don’t but I’m starting to think that that can change. I grew up with house FULL of plants and a mother & grandmother who had a passion for plants. It was just the norm for me as a kid but I realize now what we had was…

{spaces: displaying your art}
Do you have an art collection? Maybe that sounds a too formal, do you have a collection of creative or memorable pieces that you would like to display? Do you have a bunch of beautiful art prints lying around but you’re not sure how to display them? It can be photos, a well-designed postcard, or…

So it’s no surprise that people are being inspired by the program to create art. Artist/Designer Fernando Reza designed these amazing Game of Throne posters paying tribute to the iconic style and work…
