Okay I have to tell you, I’m a bit of an old music junkie. I grew up with parents who listened to everything from Fats Domino to CCR to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. And as soon as I typed the title of this post, I started humming this song by The Dave Clark Five. (If [...]
Gorgeous chandeliers and fabulous light fixtures can totally make a space – just like jewellery can make an outfit. They can also totally break the bank account – kind of like jewellery! But if you take a look at these DIY chandeliers & light fixtures, you will see making your own can be easy, inexpensive and [...]
Okay, so you all know by now that I have quite the thing for lighting, yes? And what could be better than very cool lighting? How about very cool FREE lighting?! Barn Light Electric is one of my favourite places to drool over look at lighting. Just look at this electric eye candy… This would [...]
Honestly this has been stupid tough. It’s not like I can’t pick colours. But I have been SO stumped by our own Master Bedroom. I want soothing and relaxing. (Our living room has plenty of vibrant colour for the whole house!) And Dean wants nothing to do with choosing colours this time ’round. Apparently that’s my [...]
After tonnes of searching around, we actually opted to go with a really inexpensive ceiling light in the living room for now. We may change it or modify it later (there is no bottom to it, so I may tire of seeing the light bulb, but we’ll see). Really we needed a bright cheerful light, [...]

Which is technically the same room, just a differently defined space. Ready [...]
As most of you know (especially if you follow us on Twitter) I’ve been looking for a chandy to pretty up. And of course I wanted to find a deal. I can’t go around paying full price for anything, now can I?! A couple of weeks ago I spied this at the Thrift Store. I was just popping [...]
Okay, so someone once asked me (as Mrs. AKA Design) what was on my wish list. I, embarrassingly enough, said “lots of things”. I like so many design-y things it’s ridiculous. If I truly had a wish list (I don’t actually have a written-down, hard copy), it would be very very long. I really am [...]
I’m pretty sure you all know how much I love chandeliers updated with drum shades. (If you don’t, shame on you for not paying attention!). So much so that when I came across a DIY version at Living in the 513 (via Room Remix), I almost cried I was so excited. (Understand that I am [...]
