Gosh, I love summertime, don’t you? When it comes to entertaining at home, I’m all for an informal setting that feels inspiring and relaxing – It sets a “kick back, relax, don’t take yourself too seriously” kind of vibe! If easy summertime entertaining is on your calendar, look to crisp palettes, cozy textures, and comfy […]

I know what it is like to want a beautiful home and a loving pet – That is my sweet pup Dasher in the photo. While he doesn’t shed (thank goodness for doodles!), he is a total magnet for dirt, sand, leaves, and twigs. He also loves to run and jump all over the place, […]

As we trade twinkling lights and holiday excitement for the new year, it’s difficult to resist the idea of a fresh beginning! Although I love setting 90-day goals throughout the year, there is something special about the promise of January. To me, it’s the perfect time to curate a list of things I’d like to […]

Creating a relaxing night at home is one of my absolute favourite things. Snuggling up with a cozy blanket next to the crackling fire, lights dimmed, candles burning, a good book or movie on, and yummy snacks by my side… ahhh.

At the beginning of this year, I declared that 2022 would be my “year of fun.” Unfortunately, things did not go as I anticipated.

Carefree days, magical places, and lasting memories with your favourite people? These can only mean one thing… travelling!  But what if those happy, refreshed feelings didn’t stop when the wheels hit the tarmac? What if you could bring them with you, letting them inspire holiday-esque joy right there at home? You guessed it — this […]

Our earth is a magnificent place and it deserves to be well cared for and preserved. Sadly, with excessive waste, plastic consumption, and toxic chemical pollution, humanity has done more harm than good in ways of conservation. Thankfully, there has been a significant movement in the last several years and an overall sense of urgency […]

As January begins, the excitement of new opportunities and endless possibilities is buzzing in the air. Can you feel it? The promise of a fresh start and a full year ahead. Resolutions are abundant, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve devoted time over the last few weeks to compile a list of goals you’d […]

After nearly two years of endless working from home and no weekend plans but to binge the latest Netflix hit, it seems the world has finally started to spin again. However, this welcomed return to normalcy also brings the return of… you guessed it… our over-scheduled and busy lifestyles.  Whether it’s work, running your own […]

Picture this… a beautifully designed room with a cozy white rug, a soft and luxurious light-coloured sofa, a velvet-upholstered ottoman, and stunning wood side tables to tie the look together. Now, continue thinking of this inviting room… but envision all of the furniture artfully “enhanced” by a toddler with a bold, black permanent Sharpie marker. […]
