Ahhh… the Victoria Day long weekend in Canada is now over.

We stayed home this long weekend and tackled many projects in the yard and on the deck. But don’t worry – it wasn’t all work. We also…

Since then I have slowly been working away at tweaking it a little with some of the things I mentioned in that post. I was thrilled that so many of you took the time to…

Decorating on a budget· DIY· Fabric· Living Room· Simple Envelope Pillows· Uncategorized

I love changing up our décor for the seasons….and one of the fastest, easiest ways to do that is by changing out our decorative pillow covers. All you need is fabric and a sewing machine.

If you are a regular reader you probably saw my recent post about Spring-ifying the Living Room… and you may have noticed that the ‘springifying’ was rather one sided. I am here to show you what has been “going on” on the other side of the room now… still a few more tweaks until the living room is complete, but…

Spring Cleaning: Linen Closet Rescue Mission

Organizing· Storage and Organization· Uncategorized

Do you have any little dark secrets in your home? Like a closet that is so disorganized and messy that projectile flying items may launch out at you upon opening the door… I admit it.

Are you still loving shiplap or are you sick of it Are you still loving shiplap or are you sick of it?? My boys and I have already started talking about what they want their bedrooms to look like in the new house - this was our oldest son’s room in our old house, and I now realize that I never did share his bedroom makeover! It was actually the first room we added paneling to when we moved in 😂🤷🏼‍♀️. 👉🏼 before. Trying to decide if we want to do shiplap again in the new build... what do you think?!

As much as I think we all looked forward to seeing As much as I think we all looked forward to seeing the backside of 2020, I took some time this week to look back at the year and I’m glad I did. I had been feeling like I hadn’t really accomplished anything on the blog because the last few months have been pretty busy behind the scenes. But I realized that as hard as 2020 was for everyone it was also filled with a lot of good. I’m sharing my top posts from 2020 on the blog, and my summer home tour as well as the review of our Farlov sofas are both on that list. Pop by via my #linkinprofile to see what my readers loved most this last year.
