Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating today with friends and family. I’m so excited to share this quick post with you all about my holiday tablescape. For this tablescape, I went with a very neutral palette in taupes, creams and beiges. These neutral tones were soft and warm without being too boring. They also complimented the […]

Welcome to my first Christmas Home Tour. As Christmas approaches (and I continue to decorate), I’ll be doing another post featuring more pics of my home decked out for the holidays. I simply LOVE the holidays, and getting the house ready is a huge event for our family. Since this is my first Christmas as a […]

Fall Front Porch

The weather has been spectacular lately, and I’m loving every minute of it. Mostly because I know it’s not going to last too much longer and as Ned Stark would say “Winter is Coming…” Since I’ve been spending so much time outside lately, I wanted to create a pretty Fall Front Porch. Remember a year […]

Cornucopia Fall Tablescape

It’s (almost) Fall Ya’ll. I’ve turned the corner on this new season and have finally let go of my denial about Summer ending. I feel like it was ‘the summer that never really was’, if you know what I mean? One thing that I love to do to celebrate anything, whether it’s a special occasion or […]

Since I love using black and white in my Halloween decorating, and I wanted to keep my costs low, these cute mummy pillows were just the ticket. Here are my completed (and spooky) pillows. I shopped my house for […]

Thanksgiving Tablescape

A Thanksgiving Tablescape might seem a bit early for my American readers, but for us Canadians, our thanksgiving is being celebrated this weekend. In this post, I’m going to show you two different variations of tablescapes I did using mostly the same common elements. Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays, since it’s all about […]

Fall Decor – Metallic Leaf Tree

I’m a huge fan of pretty Fall decor (like, who isn’t, right?). I’m not however a fan of decor pieces that are fragile and expensive. So, my solution is often to come up with a creative DIY project that is simple and inexpensive. This easy project took me all of about 30 min, most of which […]

Thrift Store Upcycle – CD Tower Turned Fall Centrepiece

For the #30DayFlip, hosted by the talented Jeanette from Snazzy Little Things and inspiring Meredith from Arts and Classy, this month’s challenge was to upcycle a thrift store item. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, until I saw the item and inspiration struck. As soon as I saw the CD tower, […]

How to Make a Burlap Fall Banner

Last weekend I finished my fall inspired mantle, and my favourite item was the Harvest banner. In this post, I’ll show you the easy steps I took to create this cute banner. The completed banner. I used mostly items I had lying around the house. The only item I needed to purchase was the faux […]

Fall Fireplace Mantel

Fall is definetely in the air, and as hard as it is to bid adieu to summer, the next few months certainly make up for it with their ever changing beauty. This mantel in my den was just screaming out for some fall love, so I created this fun fall fireplace mantel to get ready […]
