I’m usually a pretty good “doer”. I mean, I don’t sit around idly dreaming of how nice our house could be “if only”. I get to work (usually with the Mr.) and just do it. But I must admit, I’ve pinned a lot of stuff I haven’t yet had time to tackle. Cue Sherry and Katie’s Pinterest Challenge [...]
Ah burlap, how we love thee. {Have we mentioned that before?} A little while ago we made a burlap-wrapped canvas to display some sentimental treasures in our bedroom. Last week we whipped up a painted burlap banner. We tied burlap to our ladder-back chairs for Easter and used it as a runner under our centerpiece. Now [...]
I’ve been wanting to do this project for months and today I finally had the chance to get to it! I can’t explain why I like the Union Jack . But I do. Especially the aged and neutral coloured ones, like this Z Gallerie Union Jack Rug… Anyway, our coffee table has been made over twice now – [...]

Now I know the big stores certainly don’t need little ol’ me to advertise for them, however, most people I know (including Hubby and I) shop at these kind of places and not often at designer boutiques. So it [...]
Do you see a theme here? Could be movies. Could be memories. Could be my favourite things (Um, Betty White?). Really it’s just white. WHITE. I am lovin’ the bright, fresh, crispness that is white! Take a gander (ganders are also white!) at these white inspiration photos. [...]
Last week I wrote a post about how I happened to be lucky enough to find several really great deals in one day – like I’d hit the jackpot. Today I picked up the dresser I mentioned in that post - for $20. (Picture me doin’ a happy dance here). Isn’t she beautiful? I can hardly [...]
Everyone loves a deal right? Every blog about saving money talks about shopping the deals. Some say clip coupons, some say check your local paper for flyers and shop the sales. Since we don’t receive newspapers at Chez Acheson, those suggestions don’t really work for us. Enter flyerland.ca. From groceries to furniture to tools to vacations [...]
