    Project Sweet Escape Patio: Casual and Colourful Patio Plan

    So I didn’t waste any time to moving on to the next thing. If you read my last post you know that I just wrapped up a little makeover on a big feature wall in my loft. Well now that the weather is (sorta) cooperating and we’re about to say goodbye to May, it’s time…

    DECOR: Under the Sea Outdoor Tablescape

    Wow, by the look of my most recent posts, it sure looks like I’ve been partying it up on the rooftop patio this summer.

  • BEFORE & AFTER: patio planter makeover

    I’ve been getting a bunch of interest in this before & after from last year’s Patio Beautification project so I thought it was worth a re-visit. In Canada it can be hard to justify spending a bunch of money on an outdoor space because the season is so short and many people don’t have proper…

  • BEFORE & AFTER: rooftop patio beautification project

    I’m a lucky girl, I have a large rooftop patio all to myself. Something else I had been considering adding were French Patio Doors, as I think this would top it all off. I’ll have a think about it more, but I do like the idea though. It’s wonderful but I don’t think it’s necessarily…
