Before One day in early December, I went to the paint store to purchase some paint. While leaving the paint store, I spotted a warehouse type building across the street that had a sign advertising used furniture and that it was opened to the public. Somehow, I found...
Some Love Sugar that is. This amazing etsy shop is owned by Nicole and Jimmy Chung and after seeing some of their work here last night, I knew I wouldn’t be able to go to bed before perusing their shop. I am thrilled I did! With...
I snapped this pic with my phone about a week ago. I am amazed at how fast baby Ian seems to be growing. Now 3 months old, he is undoubtedly big for his age. In fact at one of his recent checkups, his doctor just looked at him and said, “You’re a well fed baby, so...
There is something innately sexy about the design of Danish furniture or accessory. To me, a Danish piece equals classical, well made and as such will always be relevant. Well, guess what!? Thanks to the wonderful Monika and her...
This is our first Christmas in the our new home and I have to say that I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect Christmas. The decoration wasn’t grand, but I had the hubby home(for a change), plus there was the newest addition to our family; baby...
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to...
Zion’s play room is a working progress. I actually observe how he uses the space and then go from there with design ideas etc. I painted Zion’s chalkboard wall for him when I was 81/2 months pregnant. I also painted the adjoining walls an orange colour(no surprise...
I am so super excited to announce the winner for this fantastic giveaway! Drum roll please... Jeanette of Everton Terrace (one of my closest blog friends too). Congrats darling. I will be contacting you shortly for your contact info!! XX
Hello everyone! All of you will be in for a wonderful treat this week! Since I haven’t blogged or visited you all in awhile (you all know why) to show my appreciation, I figured a Crate and Barrel gift card would be a great start to show you how much I...
Hi everyone! Look who’s here! Baby Ian-Ian Benjamin Blake. He came two weeks ago (October 17th), a week early. He weighed 6lbs 15.5 ounces and was 191/4 inches long. His Daddy made it home just in time too! I’m truly overjoyed and feel utterly blessed. XX P.S....
I love the double duty that this Cole and Son wallpaper plays in this space. It adds visual interest and also disguises the storage cupboards that are nestled under the staircase. Lovely splashes of colour too! In Baby News: This shot is a pic from my...
Two months to go! Can you believe it? Hi everyone! I returned to work two weeks ago and the first couple weeks are always super crazy; meeting parents, setting up the classroom, etc. etc. Thus, blogging had to take a back seat. However, hopefully things will be back...
Z and I are headed outdoors to have some fun before the heat index hits over 100. One day, the screen in porch will be properly appointed with beautiful outdoor furniture. However, for now, it’s where I exercise(that’s an elliptical), and where my little man has lots...
Hi everyone! Yes, Zion has his own homemade sandbox on wheels and he loves it!! A couple weeks ago, I posted here that I wanted to make a sandbox for Zion and I included some inspiration sandboxes. Amongst them were this sandbox on wheels. Many of you...
is the reason for my absence. I’ve been spending as much time with Baby Z as possible and he’s enamored with playing outside which leaves me with no time for the computer. I am really loving summer too, but the heat does take a toll on a pregnant lady. ...
