Feist Poster

February 21, 2012

One of my favourite gifts from Eric this Christmas was this colourful Feist Concert Poster from Poster Cabaret. Here the poster is framed in my living/ dining room.

February 16, 2012

Late last year I started flirting with the idea of painting a chalk wall. Eric was reluctant at first and just before Christmas he finally came around. You have already had a first glance at our chalk wall sWhen we used it as a backdrop for our Christmas party photo booth. Today I thought I’d [...]

Keeping it Real

February 8, 2012

People who know me well can attest to the fact that I am a very messy person. My desk at work is a mess, my room is a mess and my kitchen is a mess. I am so messy that when I was 16 years old my parents took away my bedroom door in an [...]

I have the most thoughtful in-laws. Back in November I posted a picture of a chair that I coveted. Eric’s lovely parents search and found one for me at an estate sale. I was so excited on Christmas morning when I awoke to this chair with such lovely bones. The cherry on top has got [...]

Life is Messy

November 7, 2011

I’ve been a bad blogger. Things have been crazy/ hectic at work. As a result the blog and all my hobbies have taken a back seat. To top off the craziness, our closet broke. The pole came right out of the wall and all our clothes fell to the floor. All week the clothes were [...]

Green With Envy

October 17, 2011

This weekend I painted my front door a bright and cheerful shade of green. I was inspired by Jane over at Modern Jane. In early August Jane painted her door a vibrant shade of green and I fell in love. I still really hate the rose-frosted glass panel. It’s so gross, but for now I am [...]
