HOW-TO-MAKE-AN-EASY-DIY-OUTDOOR-MOVIE-SCREEN-WITH-STAND

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

Today marks the day I’ve been dreading for the last couple of months. My little sister is off this morning to London for about 9 months to get her Masters at the London School of Economics. Of course I’m proud of her, but I was totally sad to see her go. The only thing keeping […]

After weeks of planning and preparing it showered this weekend at my house! I don’t do well with surprises.  It makes me completely anxious and stressed so I knew about the big day and even helped with details. Saturday morning I took off to get my hair done while my Mom, MIL, sisters and SIL’s […]

Franki Says Relax

Like we have discussed in the past styling a bookcase can be a daunting task. I believe that a bookcase should be a mix of books, storage solutions, and personal accessories that you have gathered. I also love some fresh flowers thrown in the mix if space allows. The bookcase below is a perfect example […]

Styling: Collected Accessories

Fall is quickly approaching and I’m already set to whip out the sweaters, going on walks with leaves on the ground and sip all of the hot apple cider I can. I’m already seeing myself leaning towards warming color combos in fabrics and my favorite color story of the moment is tomato red, navy or […]

Fall Fabric Finds

I adore antique rugs in a kitchen setting. My favorite kitchen is of course my pal, Jenny’s kitchen: {Little Green Notebook} I love how vibrant it looks and also enjoy the mix of navy and black in her kitchen. I know that Jenny purchased her rug at esale rugs, which I enjoy, but yesterday I […]

Weekend Recap: Shower Prep

For months this bench has been on my mind: {Design by Sarah Richardson for the Toronto Interior Design Showhouse} I re-upholster items all the time for clients and my own personal home, but I had never thought of doing an accent fabric on the sides of piece. That chevron border in the image above totally […]

Little details

get inspired with our own home tour

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
