    New Affordable Canadian Mattresses – Mirabed

    December 26, 2019 /

    We received product in exchange for honest consideration in this post about affordable Canadian mattresses. My youngest daughter has been asking for a room makeover for months. There never seemed to be time. But last summer when she went away to camp in Muskoka, we stripped everything off of the walls and painted the room three different colours. Of course, she helped picked the shades out. That gave her space a big boost of colour. And she was thrilled with the results when she came home. But, there was still the matter of the furniture and a mattress. Her bed, a loft bed, was way too small and she had…

    Holiday Flowers with Teleflora Make the Season Brighter

    December 23, 2018 /

    Holiday flowers make the season so much brighter. I love to add flowers to my home at any time of year, but when the holidays roll around, flowers are essential. There’s something about that pop of colour that chases away the winter blues. If I had my way and unlimited budget I’d have poinsettias and lilies and pine all over the house. The pretty blooms and foliage are a treat during the winter months. This is also why I love Teleflora Table campaign. I know how much holiday flowers brighten my holiday season, and Teleflora can help you brighten the holidays too. Holiday Flowers from Teleflora The Teleflora Table campaign is all about…

    Rethink Bedroom Decor – Amazing Jysk Bedding and Drapery Sale!

    April 6, 2018 /

    The JYSK bedding and drapery sale might be the catalyst to get me started on a redecorating project here this summer. Every summer I have the fever. The redecorating fever. This summer my youngest daughter and I are planning to redo her bedroom. So right now we are blue sky dreaming about all the possibilities. She asked last night for a new bed. It’s not the first time she’s asked. I’ve been procrastinating because it seems super expensive. But, then I spied the JYSK bedding and drapery sale and thought it might just be worth checking out. The deals are pretty amazing and you can’t go wrong with all the…

    Our Teenage Girl Room Transformation – #ColourMeHappy

    September 10, 2015 /

    I have always been afraid of colour. I like my clothing black and tan and white. Neutrals are easy to grab, dress up and go. Occasionally I love a hit of red or coral or pink. But I rarely stray far. Same can be said of my home decor choices. I LOVE it when the colour choices are made for me. So when we moved to our new house 18 months ago I was extremely relieved to see that everything had been painted in pleasing greens, and browns with a palette of vanilla accents and a lot of clay shades. Easy and earthy. That’s my kind of colour pallette. Plus the…

    Painting a Room – 5 Steps to a Better Experience #ColourMeHappy

    August 20, 2015 /

    I have partnered with Sherwin Williams to colour our space beautiful and make it ours. We have been here 1 1/2 years in our new house and we love it. We redid two closets and completely outfitted my home office. But now it’s time to make our house a home. We are tackling cosmetic home renovations here at my house. This week while the kids are at camp we are going to start painting a room. First up is my daughter Payton’s room. Painting a room is one of the easiest ways to completely change the feel of the space. And while it’s the cheapest and easiest, it requires a little…

    A Special Flash Spring Giveaway – Embroidered Love Sentiment #Giveaways

    May 15, 2015 /

    This is a spontaneous Spring giveaway. I recently attended a conference and came back overflowing with knowledge, connections and also gifts from brand sponsors. I have numerous new shipments of items to feature here on the blog. My office is once again overflowing and I need to generate a bit more space in my cabinets and cupboards and on my bench too. This lovely embroidered sentiment from Hallmark Canada makes me happy. Isn’t it sweet? It’s just a lovely, light, little decorative thing that would be brilliant for a Mom, or a Grandma. Since I don’t have either of those anymore I want to gift this to someone who can…

    Halloween Mantel Ideas

    October 26, 2014 /

      This is the first year we have ever had a fireplace in our home. In our old house we had some lovely spaces, but no fireplace. I never thought I cared. Now in our new house we have a fireplace in the living room. It has a mantel and is a focal point for the eye as you enter the front door. So naturally I have been thinking about potential for decorating the mantel this coming holiday season. I started looking forward to decorating that mantel several months ago. Halloween has provided the ideal first opportunity to get creative with that. I got a few great Halloween Mantel ideas…
