Snap, crackle, COLOUR pop |⠀ ⠀ For my outdoor living room I went CRAZY with colour.⠀ 🤣 ⠀ Well, crazy for me. ⠀ And I like it!⠀ I still have to add plants and stain a few things before it is “finished”. ⠀ 🎨 ⠀ This is where I will be spending all of my down time this summer. ⠀ 🏖 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #storyofmyhome ⠀ #myinteriorsquares ⠀ #alliseeispretty ⠀ #popofcolour ⠀ #getoutside⠀ #outdoorspaces ⠀ #mystyle⠀ #myeclecticmix ⠀ #howihome ⠀ #summervibes
Today I will be getting my "Zen" on. ⠀ The whole day is dedicated to planting my garden.⠀ 🌱⠀ And that will be followed by a hard earned drink or two.⠀ 🥂⠀ What are y'all up too today?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #getoutside⠀ #zen⠀ #buddha⠀ #photooftheday⠀ #zenmood⠀ #gatherandcurate⠀ #allIseeispretty⠀ #slowlived⠀ #nothingisordinary⠀ #thehappynow⠀ #inspiredbynature⠀ #daysofsmallthings⠀ #agameoftones⠀ #moodygrams
Light of my life |⠀ Hello- my name is Pamela and I have a lighting fetish. ⠀ Some people like shoes, art, jewellery...but I drool over beautiful lighting.⠀ While I was tempted to post a picture of my pups, as they truly are the life of my life, I would be remiss if I did not showcase some light fixtures!⠀ 💡⠀ Being Visually-Impaired, proper lighting plays a BIG part of my daily life and if I am to depend on it I want it to be worth looking at.⠀ Gone are all the boob lights in this new builder home! They were taken down faster than...well The speed of light!⠀ 😂⠀ Have a great weekend everyone and may there be plenty of sun-light in this Canadian Long Weekend (it's the unofficial start of summer!)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #storyofmyhome⠀ #interiorinspiration⠀ #interiorphotography⠀ #myinteriorvibe⠀ #myhousebeautiful⠀ #lovetohome⠀ #howyouhome⠀ #eclecticdecor⠀ #myhomevibe⠀ #homeinspiration⠀ #interiorsnapshot⠀ #dailydecordetail⠀ #mycosyhome⠀ #greathomestaketime⠀ #realhomesofinstagram⠀ #lovewhereyoudwell⠀ #snapshotofmyhome⠀ #nestandthrive⠀ #interiormilk⠀ #styleathome⠀ #myinteriorsquares⠀ #howyouhome⠀ #dailydecordose⠀ #habitatandhome⠀ #interiordetails⠀ #interiorlovers⠀ #styledupinterior
Rugs to riches |⠀ Rugs can transform a space from drab to fab. It adds depth, layer, texture and personality to a room. It takes a room from rugs to riches 🙃⠀ When we moved into our new home I couldn't wait to put rugs down, but the OH didn't understand why...❓⠀ OH: Pam, why are we putting rugs down over the hardwood flooring that you love?⠀ Me: So the floor doesn't get damaged from the furniture, the bright sun and also because it adds depth, layer etc etc...⠀ OH: But we spent a lot of money upgrading those floors its a shame to cover them up. it doesn't make sense.⠀ Me: Please Shut up and just do it...🙂⠀ The end.⠀ ⠀ Do you feel guilty for covering up part of your floors with rugs? ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #storyofmyhome⠀ #myinteriorsquares⠀ #styleathome⠀ #pocketofmyhome⠀ #realhomes⠀ #howyouhome⠀ #dailydecordetail⠀ #habitatandhome⠀ #interiordetails⠀ #interiorlovers⠀ #simplestyling⠀ #midcenturymodern⠀ #myspaceanddecor⠀ #lovetohome⠀ #stylishhomevibes⠀ #interiorphotography⠀ #mystyle⠀ #styledupinterior
Hey ho- I am back on track after yesterday's "surprise" post. I mean who the heck puts a post up at midnight and with no caption? ⠀ ME! Apparently. 😂⠀ So if ever I wanted to know what would happen if I posted all "willy nilly" well now I do. Low engagement! ⠀ Enough about that...now, to the exciting stuff! ⠀ I was invited to join the @raw_community as a moderator for the @raw_canada page!!! I was shocked and awed (after I double checked to make sure they had the right person that is) 🤪⠀ Thanks @ddalkie ❤️⠀ It is going to be so much fun. Not only will I get to see even more fantastic accounts and photography but I will get to "meet" more awesome Instagrammers. ⠀ Can I get a "hell yeah"?⠀ Hopefully I will be starting next week. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #raw_community⠀ #photography_love⠀ #thestilllifecollective⠀ #daysofsmallthings⠀ #folkandstory⠀ #ourmoodydays⠀ #vibesofvisuals⠀ #agameoftones⠀ #moodygrams⠀ #thefolkpr0ject⠀ #still_view⠀ #folksouls⠀ #prettybooks⠀ #mystyle⠀ #bookstagram⠀ #booklife⠀ #darkandmoodyphotography⠀ #booklover⠀ #bookish
This space |⠀ Oh my goodness I had forgotten to add a caption and my scheduled post went up overnight at some random hour and I only saw it this morning!! Lol Oh well, here it is edited by me when I woke up and saw it!! This space- is my master bath! I have nothing more to say because it’s too early to think....ummm Happy Monday? ⠀ #storyofmyhome⠀ #myinteriorsquares
"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."⠀ John Wayne⠀ When was the last time you were scared and when it happened did you face it or back down? ⠀ I think we all need a bit of fear in our lives- I believe in facing our fears we learn more about ourselves and grow. ⠀ It could be something as simple as going to the movies by yourself or trying something new that is outside your comfort zone. I was scared to make my IG profile public and start sharing stuff with the "whole world" but I did it, and it has been quite the journey so far!⠀ What's something you did that scared you and how did you feel after?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #landscapephotography⠀ #explore⠀ #getoutside⠀ #countrylife⠀ #thesimplethings⠀ #photooftheday⠀ #canonphotographer⠀ #ohcanada⠀ #beautifulplaces⠀ #naturelover⠀ #nothingisordinary⠀ #simpleliving⠀ #instamood⠀ #thestilllifecollective⠀ #alliseeispretty⠀ #inspiredbynature⠀ #thehappynow⠀ #folkandstory⠀ #vibesofvisuals⠀ #agameoftones⠀ #thefolkpr0ject⠀ #folksouls
Hide nor hair |⠀ I was surprised to find out (thanks google) that this expression, while I thought was American, actually originated in Britain. Whaaat? ⠀ In America it means “I ain’t seen hide nor hair of him,” meaning, “I haven’t seen any trace of him,” but in the original ancient English phrase it is actually in reverse ‘in hair and hide’ meaning ‘wholly, entirely.' ⠀ So for today's interpretation of "Hide nor hair" aka "In Hair and hide" I will say that today you will see neither hide nor hair of me because I will be in hair and hide in a book (whilst sitting on a cow 'hide'...)⠀ BOOM!⠀ Mic drop.⠀ 😂⠀ Also a HUGE Thank You to Michelle @thebeigeblues for the amazing profile feature and to all the new people that have found my account. I am so happy to share with you all and I hope you enjoy my "work".⠀ Have a great FriYay!!!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #storyofmyhome⠀ #myinteriorsquares.⠀ #mycreativeinterior⠀ #myinteriorvibe⠀ #pocketofmyhome⠀ #interiordecordetail⠀ #nestandburrow⠀ #mycozyvibe⠀ #booksofinstagram⠀ #agameoftones ⠀⠀ #alliseeispretty ⠀⠀ #postitfortheaesthetic⠀⠀ #bookstagram ⠀⠀ #booklife ⠀⠀ #darkandmoodyphotography⠀⠀⠀ #photooftheday ⠀⠀ #prettybooks ⠀⠀ #thefolkpr0ject ⠀ #infinity_folklife
Have you ever just wanted to break free of your trappings and just fly? (#allthetime)⠀ I try to remain upbeat and not dwell on the bad things in life but some days I just want to do whatever I want and not have to worry about my eyesight + hearing holding me back. ⠀ But then I remember that I can do pretty much everything sighted people can (well maybe not drive, but trust me you don't want to see me behind the wheel 🤣).⠀ 🚘 ⠀ I just have to go about a different way of doing things. Also, there are also so many good people out there who want to be there for me, to help and learning to accept that help has made my life so much better. (it took me a looooong time to accept that help because I am stubborn AF- must be the Irish in me)⠀ 🍀⠀ If you could do one thing right now without worrying about the consequences/trappings (financially, socially, physically or emotionally) what would it be?⠀ For me it would be travel solo to a new country.⠀ Oh and I have a just put a new blog post up about travel. Link in bio if you wanna check it out. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ (This picture is Part of my 'When Colouring books come to life' series)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nothingisordinary⠀ #postitfortheaesthetic⠀ #creativelife⠀ #dreaminginpictures⠀ #simplethingsmadebeautiful⠀ #myflatlaystyle⠀ #flatlay⠀ #prettycreativestyle⠀ #themagicinnature⠀ #natureinthehome⠀ #thestilllifecollective⠀ #alliseeispretty⠀ #inspiredbynature⠀ #thehappynow⠀ #folkandstory⠀ #ourmoodydays⠀ #vibesofvisuals⠀ #agameoftones⠀ #moodygrams⠀ #thefolkpr0ject⠀ #folksouls⠀ #photooftheday
Jump to it |⠀ ⠀ Though you wouldn’t say it from this shot, but that dog is ready in an instant to “jump to it” on any occasion!⠀ 🐕 ⠀ She is full of endless energy and shenanigans yet she knows how to relax as you can see here.⠀ 😴 ⠀ BTW I did not artfully place the yellow cushion there she tossed it off herself as it was in her spot!⠀ Somebody fancies herself an Insta-fluff expert⠀ 😂 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #storyofmyhome ⠀ #myinteriorsquares ⠀ #myeclectichome ⠀ #interiorsnapshot ⠀ #howihome ⠀ #alliseeispretty ⠀ #mycuratedaesthetic ⠀ #labsofinstagram ⠀ #midcenturymod ⠀ #mycuratedhome ⠀ #stylishhomevibes ⠀ #interiordesign⠀ #snapshotofmyhome ⠀ #candidmoments ⠀ #smallmomentsofcalm ⠀ #mymidcenturymix
Two post Tuesday! ⠀ (Two posts in a day just because I said so)⠀ I don’t drink coffee ☕️ and I see all these coffee aficionados on IG and FB and I don’t understand the need to drink it.⠀ I admit coffee makes for great imagery and appeal but am I missing something? The two times in my life I’ve tried coffee I spit it out. I like the smell of coffee but that’s it. ⠀ So in a tribute to a coffee inspired image I’ve filled my mug up with macarons.⠀ I’m sure you can guess where they ended up after the shoot...⠀ 😋 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #coffee_time ⠀ #thefolkpr0ject ⠀ #agameoftones ⠀ #alliseeispretty ⠀ #postitfortheaesthetic⠀ #bookstagram ⠀ #booklife ⠀ #darkandmoodyphotography⠀ #mystyle⠀ #canonphotographers ⠀ #photooftheday ⠀ #prettybooks ⠀ #macaronlovers ⠀ #macaron
Botanical beauty |⠀ One of the things I love about our new home is that it has absolutely no shortage of windows and bright light.⠀ 💡 ⠀ Because of this I can now have a bit of botanical beauty in EVERY room!⠀ 🌱 ⠀ But that “palm” plant there is my third one in this house, the damn thing hates me and loses its palms and turns brown every time. Everyone has been in a different location with the same results I am giving up and not replacing it again. ⠀ 🗑 ⠀ Unless someone can offer some advice on caring for it cause Google didn’t help⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #storyofmyhome ⠀ #myinteriorsquares ⠀ #greathomestaketime⠀ #interiorsnapshot⠀ #mycosyhome⠀ #mycuratedaesthetic ⠀ #nestandburrow⠀ #plantsplantsplants ⠀ #homestyle⠀ #interiordesignerlife ⠀ #cornerofmyhome
