A sweet bathroom makeover

A bright and colourful laundry room

Growth is optional

Not one but two pretty house tours



Jane's beautiful bunk room

Fun to see how one room inspired many others

I've seen so many instances of negativity online lately. I'd rather embrace positivity.

Tips for going freelance



1. Do you have a design fan on your shopping list? You'll want to pick up Sarah Style by Sarah Richardson. You'll recognize many of the photos from her shows but Sarah goes really in depth in her writing and provides the How's and Why's of designing rooms. Lots of design lessons to absorb and be inspired by.
2. I played host at an event at Target this week. This stylish reindeer with shawl was the star of the holiday tabletop. I just had to bring one home with me and put him at the front door for a chic way to welcome guests!
3. The snow has arrived and I thought it was time to get a heavy duty pair of boots that will stand up to Canadian winters. I used shop.ca for the first time and bought these Ecco boots. So far, so good; they've kept my toes toasty for walking Chloe to school.
4. I attended a blogger conference last weekend and Benefit Gimme Brow was in the gift bag. I have never quite mastered using brow pencils or powders but this brush-on gel was super easy to use. You can build up your brow in layers and it looks natural and not heavy at all. Makes a great stocking stuffer!

I plan to get the tree up this weekend and finally get our home ready for the holidays. Have a great weekend!
