The most overlooked thing in your decor and why you should be aware of it…
Sight line: a hypothetical line from someone’s eye to what is seen (used especially with reference to good or bad visibility). Oxford Dictionary What’s that now? Sight lines? If you haven’t heard this term applied in design and decor let me break it down for you because this often an overlooked trick that can make…

Unexplained absence and DIY’s…
I know, I know..It’s been awhile. I literally fell off the internet last year (2022). Lots of life events and random shit that made things a bit..hard. But you are not here to read about that. THAT can wait for another time, another post. Maybe. Let’s talk decor! Let’s talk DIY! Let’s talk about taking…

Fabulous Flowers…but everything else was sh*t
I hate to say it out loud but I think I’ve lost my vegetable garden mojo. The last two (ok,ok, if I’m being honest three) years..my vegetable gardening hasn’t been doing so great.

Hummingbird magic…
I am not a fan of summer. I find it too hot, muggy, stuffy and very uncomfortable. Where I live our summers are a mixed bag. Pouring rain, drought, heat waves, cold fronts…oh and windy. Let’s not forget the wind. There are, however, parts of summer that I do appreciate and love. Sitting on the…

Go with the flow…
Easy ways to create a cohesive home. Brown, gray, black, white and pops of red or yellow. Those are the colours used in my home. They can be seen most of the time, in most of the rooms. Personally I prefer texture over pattern and natural elements over man-made ones. Using this “recipe” I’ve created…

From doorknobs to broomsticks
A Mudroom makeover…again. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be helped and I had to give the mudroom another update so that I could actually see things. Seeing things is important you know. As much as I love dark colours and interiors my eyesight (for those of you who don’t know, I have Retinitis Pigmentosa) just can’t adjust…

Stop! Don’t “SHOP THIS LOOK”
When decorating your home some of you may be inclined to rush the process (Yeah, I’m looking at you big sister) and get it done ASAP because you are excited to get the end result. I get it, I am not the most patient of people, but I’m just gonna stop you right there. No…I’m…
