Hello Fall! I can’t believe it is here already, it feels like yesterday that the snow was melting on the ground. But I am a sweater weather kinda gal so I really am looking forward to the cooler evenings, the coloured leaves in the trees and the warming fire crackling up at the cottage. As…
The last day of summer, sigh… It flew by faster than I have ever remembered a whole summer to pass. Seriously though, what’s up with that? So, in an attempt to make it last a little longer, I got caught up in the lovely contradictions of this South African family beach house. The mix of…
Do you decorate following the change of seasons? I do. Not big changes, but small additions or switches that add enveloping textures with the temperature drops and lighten the rooms when the heat comes. This year, for fall, it’s all about contradictions for me: warm and cool tones, velvets and linens. When it comes to…
As summer is unwinding gently, with its cooler evenings and its misty dawns, my favorite season is slowly creeping in. I know, many might not agree, but to me, Fall is the best season of all. Here in Canada, we get the beautiful change of colours from the vibrant green of the summer leaves to…

I adore this concept of these 2 tiny beach homes, living side by side, and decorated for him and her. They complete each other perfectly and yet remain distinct in their sensibilities and cater to their owners needs. Many super cute budget ideas to steal too! Source: Little Moving Spaces
Home to Elyse Walker of Forward this “quick” transformation (as she puts it) by Amber Lewis deserves – yet again – a standing ovation. Clean lines, loads of white & natural textures, vintage pieces and great art, these are the 5 elements that make this home stand out and that will pass the test of time. I know I…
Just when you thought that glamour and rustic were two adjectives that could not sit well together, there is a yurt (yes yes I said a yurt) that comes around to prove the contrary. In Jackson, Wyoming, sits Megan Eaton Griswold’s yurt. You know that circular tent on a collapsible framework, used by nomads in Mongolia, Siberia,…
Back-to-school: an uncertain time where my kids feel a mixture of excitement and anxiety.
