Crafts | DIY | Decorating | Renovations
Our current in-progress house projects include our kitchen and master bedroom. While we’re working on both rooms simultaneously, we’re also still living life – one of our goals in renovating this house vs the last was that we don’t quit life for projects. Sometimes that means that progress is small, at least in one space at [...]
If you follow us on Facebook, you may have noticed that we painted a chalkboard wall in our dining room. I originally thought I wanted to put the chalkboard wall in the kitchen. But after living with it in the dining room for several weeks it is SO PERFECT here. I have to say it was a [...]
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 [...]
There’s this contest, see. Five Canadian bloggers will be chosen by Para Paints to be part of their Blog Crew. Said bloggers will receive a year’s supply of paint with which to work their magic. Holy creativity, Batman! What would you do with a year’s supply of paint? What projects would you tackle? What spaces would you [...]
Boy, have I got a project to share with you – I’m practically giddy with excitement for how it turned out! I hinted at the project last night … And even last Friday when I posted a sneak peak into the GIANT bag of crafting supplies we received. WOWZERS! That’s a LOT of “good things”, [...]

Are you all tired of our Living Room yet? We’ve finally finished the piece that began this living room makeover: the great big, gifted, pine armoire. If you recall this is what we started with: And then we made some small changes, like organizing the books, adding some blue and straightening up the shelves: [...]
Finding Fabulous is having another – their 50th! – Frugalicious Friday which is a link party to share the “fabulous, thriftiest most frugalicious home decor finds!” AND Funky Junk Interiors is also having a link party called Saturday Night Special. Both parties instantly made me want to share more of our recent front hallway makeover. [...]
**This post has been updated with better after photos.** We’ve been inspired by our fellow bloggers, yet again – imagine that! A couple of our favourite bloggers recently featured (their own and others’) graphic/geometric statement walls. I read about After the Before’s bold orange living room TV wall back in July. Isn’t it gorgeous? The [...]
Finally! The B-i-g R-e-v-e-a-l ! We’ve been working on our girls’ room for a couple of weeks and we are about 99% finished (we are just waiting for some wall names for each of the girls and we still need to find a couple of lights for reading in bed). But I just couldn’t wait any [...]
