Bright baby boy quilt
This colourful baby quilt has crossed the pond and is heading to it’s new home in the UK! The quilt top fabrics are from the Rita Hodge’s Blogger’s Choice bundle from Fat Quarter Shop with a solid charcoal border.

Nana’s Shortbread Cookies
My nana recently moved into long term care and while my mother, uncle and I were packing up her apartment we came across a valuable treasure – her recipe book. Decades of recipes that we thought were lost, because we never asked her to write them down and now we have them, lovingly preserved in a
Spray Paint Plastic Planters
Last weekend I almost threw away some old (previously cream) plastic planters when I realized I could spray paint them instead! I now recommend to everyone, absolutely use spray paint to make dingy plastic things look sleek and new. For my planters I used Rust-Oleum Ultimate in Oil Rubbed Bronze and I couldn’t be happier about
Master Bathroom Lighting Update
Our lights are finally up! Chris cut out a chunk of drywall and installed two new electrical boxes then headed up into the attic and fed longer wire from the light switch down the wall. We patched up the drywall (not very evenly) and then I wired my first light fixtures (puffs out chest). I

Master Bathroom Plan
We finally have a plan to give our builder boring bathroom some much needed personality. I’m surprised too because we managed to sketch it all out on the iPad over bowls of cereal. Here’s our plan: Rip out the existing builder vanity Take down the HUGE mirror (hopefully without it shattering into a million pieces)
40 Bags in 40 Days
OMG it’s March. Thank goodness! It’s not like the weather is better than it was yesterday in February (it’s actually snowing) but I’m going to go ahead and pretend it’s spring. And Spring means spring cleaning! Well…it’s never meant that for me before but this year I’m trying to be more organized as per my
I Hate My Bathroom
It’s getting cold, and in this house that means it’s time to tackle a indoor design project. Apparently when I spend too much time indoors I start thinking about DIY projects around the house – who knew!? First in line for a new look: our master bathroom. I have a love/hate relationship with our room – it’s
