It’s been actual years since I have put a paintbrush to a canvas, and this project isn’t exactly like the terrible paintings my mom may or may not still have stored in her basement, but it brought me back to the days of exploring what paint can do on something other than my walls! I…
Painting furniture s nothing new in my household, but I think it’s safe to say I stepped it up a few notches with this last project. HomeRight was kind enough to sponsor this month’s Modern Handmade Home series, and I have to say that painting furniture with a paint sprayer has officially changed my life!…
‘Tis the season, my friends! Time to pull out the rainboots and put away the parkas. To watch little blossoms pop up from the ground and enjoy the beauty of Spring! But we don’t need to only enjoy it outdoors, we can have a bit of early Spring indoors and change the decor from Winter…
Disclosure: I have partnered with YMC and Turkey Farmers of Ontario and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own. Is there any greater challenge than attempting to feed a toddler healthy foods at dinnertime? YES! Attempting to feed TWO TODDLERS anything remotely healthy. EVER! Surely this is a challenge faced by millions…
Working from home while raising two toddlers is a challenge I had no idea how to prepare for, and now we have two people doing that, and no, one of our twins did not get a job! Since my husband started also working from home full time, we realized that having an office on our…
Do you ever have decor regret? WHO DOESN’T! I’ve been experiencing a lot of that these days, as I look around at the rooms in our house we had to rush to decorate when we were mid-renovations and had deadlines to be met – specifically, our family room. It’s not that I particularly dislike anything…
Because Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I love me an excuse to eat dessert, I wanted to try one that fits in with the diet my husband and I have been on for a few months: the Keto diet. Yes, it’s super trendy, and yes, everyone and their sister is trying it……
Hey friends! Today I’m bringing you a quick little post sharing 4 easy ways to Hygge your home. Now, you’re either wondering: “what the heck is hygge?” or you are well familiarized with the term. Just in case you have no idea, it’s pronounced “hue-gah” and is a Danish word that acknowledges a moment or…
It’s Friday, and so far this year we’re 3 for 3 on the Friday 5 posts. I’m surprising myself with keeping up with these weekly posts! So let’s get into it! 1. Cladwell Last week I mentioned the Winter 10×10 challenge, which I shared more about on Instagram also. Well, doing this challenge is made…
Barn doors are still all the rage these days, and you can’t beat how convenient they are in tight spaces. We have two areas in our house that benefit SO much from having a door that can slide rather than swing. Our laundry room, in particular, needed a double sliding door because there wasn’t enough…
Truth time: I almost forgot about this post today because I haven’t posted anything else all week! It’s been an interesting week, with crazy weather, insane toddler behaviour (we woke up to a butt naked toddler today, AGAIN!), and my Christmas decor is still up. But that’s not why we’re here. Let’s look at 5…
First of all, I find it oddly appropriate that The Friday 5 is making a comeback on the 5th day of the month! But I like quirky coincidences like that. Just ask my husband, who thinks I’m insane for noticing that our first house was #12, and we bought it on the 12th day of…
It’s no secret that I like to change up the decor in our home from time to time, and the nursery isn’t safe from having furniture moved around from time to time. When we purchased this house, the nursery and family room were the first spaces to be finished, and that was 100% due to…
Hi, my name is Thalita and I make lists. No, but seriously, it’s a problem. If I don’t write things down, it’s basically guaranteed that within minutes (or the next toddler tantrum, so… minutes) I will forget them. I’ve always enjoyed writing things down, but in the last two years, it’s become an actual necessity….
It’s possible you may have seen the huge patterned wall I painted in our dining room because I’m pretty much obsessed with it and share it every chance I get! So today I thought it would be appropriate to share with you my 5 best tips for painting a buffalo check wall (or gingham) and…
