{Happy Good Friday}


While catching up on my fav local Toronto blogs this post with the faux deer head caught my attention.  I immediately jumped over to Etsy and fell in love with the moose!  How could you not, right?  White Faux Taxidermy have some amazing pieces! 

So my question to you is, which colour??

Happy Easter.

Havaianas & Happy Birthday

What do these two things have in common you might ask?  A little unusual no doubt.  To me, they go hand in hand. 

The snow begins to melt, the birds begin to sing, and spring arrives.  With spring comes warm weather and with warm weather comes flip-flops.  Flip-flops and my Sisters Birthday.  It's become a bit of a tradition for me to get her a pair, because, who wouldn't want a new pair just as spring arrives?


This years gift, a pair of Havaianas, the classic Brazilian sandal. So happy birthday sis!  Too bad I didn't think about it when I last saw you, you could have had these for your trip to the Bahamas tomorrow!



The great thing about these sandals are the massive amounts of pattern and colour.  You can get them in just about anything.  The basic shape hasn't changed, not since 1964, but what a massive variety.


 Tribal? For real? So f'n cool.


So Happy Birthday to my sister and Happy Spring to everyone else!  Get yourself a pair, its just about time.

To tuft or not to tuft

For many years I have gone without a headboard, I never really gave it much thought.  


Art above my bed has always been my solution to filling the space.  Not to mention I'm in love with my black and white photography!


I feel as long as you fill the space then there really isn't a need for a head board.


Even the bed in front of the window works, the curtains really fill the space and make it feel warm.  On a side note I think I need to add some soft throw rugs around bed too.  


There is nothing above this bed and yet it still feels complete.  


Oh and then I found this picture!  I mean really, can it get anymore amazing!?  The navy blue tufted head board is perfect and has made me rethink my bedroom.  


This is something I need to think about.  It's something I feel needs to be a custom piece, the colour and size need to be perfect.

Monday Morning - I Must (ache) you a question Edition



Spent some time at the Home Show over the weekend.  I think my favourite find was this sign.  Don't take that as a slight to the Home Show though, it says more about me than it does that show.  



I love the little cotton tail bunny.  Fill with cotton balls, pull out the tail.  Too clever?  Maybe, but I still like it!



A friend of ours brought this great gift over, full of Kiehl's baby products.  Very nice thought, very nice packaging. 

Have  a good week everyone!

Friday Fav - Simple Cottage

Pulled from the pages of the always excellent Desire to Inspire.  Fav of the week? The pure simplicity of this cottage kitchen.  Perfect in its comfort and in its presence.  


Although I don't think (I know) you can classify this as minimalist, it reminds me of this quote.


Minimalism is not a lack of something. It’s simply the perfect amount of something.
— NICHOLAS BURROUGHS 
I couldn't agree more.

{Happy Friday}


So happy it's Friday, although I'm working today and tomorrow so that doesn't help.  I'm working at the National Home Show today so it's some what of a break from the everyday.  Have you checked out the show yet?  Sunday is the last day so you better get on it!

Enjoy your weekend!

Spring Colour - Rushed and Rushed Edition

Had to go for a last minute doctors visit! No worries though, all is fine. Ran out of blog time so I thought I'd throw something up here nice a quick for you all today.

First day of spring, makes me think of soft colours and warm spaces.  Take a deep breath and enjoy these, forget about the -10 we woke up to here in Toronto this morning.

Mirror Mirror

Many, many years ago I found this mirror for $99!  It was very hard to pass up, especially for something of this size.


To let you know how old it is the black stripe use to be hunter green!  Yep I said hunter green!  It was a happening colour back in the day!


It needed to be refreshed and gold was just the ticket.






I purchased a liquid gold leaf and went to town.



I was excited to be able to paint the entire mirror with just a small amount of paint, it was a nice change but it's missing something.  I'm thinking it needs a more yellow colour to high light and possibly a darker colour to shade.  It's still a work in progress but I just wanted to show you what I've been up to in the condo.
