Monday Meandering

Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was filled with all kinds of holiday fun! 1)  The new issue of Lonny went live today and I am smitten (as I always am) with art walls in the issue.  In fact, this entire Denmark home in shades of black and white was jaw dropping.  The above two images are one wall in a small studio apartment.  It expands the space and just goes to show that if you hang art that you love, it works. There are no rules!  I would love to have an art...

My Holiday Mantel

Happy Tuesday!  Are you getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit yet? The folks at She Knows Canada contacted me to share a Christmas decor tip with their readers awhile back.  So, I got cracking on decorating the mantel.  I didn’t even pull out the boxes of ornaments and decorations from the basement as I wanted to do something different from Christmases past.                                                       ...

Where I’ve Been and Where I am…

Hi there! Happy Friday! Just wanted to let you know that I’m featured in an article in the Toronto Star online.  So fun to see my living room on their home page and mentioned next to Debbie Travis and Colin & Justin. You can read it here. I also have a little mention with some other fab bloggers in the latest issue of Dabble magazine.  It’s on one of my favourite design projects – bathrooms. You can read the entire issue here. If you can’t read it, I say “If you share the bathroom with your spouse/partner, two sinks...

Monday Meandering

Hope you had a happy weekend! Yesterday, the weather here (just outside TO) was incredible.  It gave me time to do some much needed gardening/winter prep and have one last jump on the trampoline before we take it down for the winter. 1) My latest ideabook for Houzz is live and I wrote it on, of all things, pitchers. Lately, I have been noticing them everywhere in all sorts of beautiful colours and materials. You can read it here. 2)  The folks over at Posterjack are having a contest where you can win a Sony camera. Like...

Upholstered Headboards

Happy Monday! It’s mornings like this when it’s cold out that you just want to stay in bed with a good book. Unfortunately, my bedroom is in need of some TLC and will be redecorated next year. I still have the same wood bed that I have had for 20 years!  Without a question, my next bed will have an upholstered headboard. This post I wrote over two years ago is one of the most popular on the blog – everyone else is enamoured with headboards as am I.  I have seen so many gorgeous headboards lately, so it’s time for another round...
