Have you noticed the reclaimed wood clock craze yet? I’ve been watching over it for awhile now, and knew I wanted to make one. Somehow. Someday. But.. it didn’t happen. Until a book landed on my lap. Liz Fourez is a blogging buddy of mine, and if you have never visited her blog, Love Grows Wild, […]
It’s no secret that I am an old sign fanatic. I just find the look enticing, and totally fits in with any season. But that can be a bad thing too… One place I really love to do something special with is behind my kitchen stove. This Bakery sign stood the test of time for an entire […]
One of the MOST asked questions I receive is… “What are your favourite stencil brushes?” So, today I’m going several steps further. This massive, LONG overdue post will showcase everything you need to know about stencilling. How to stencil, my fav supplies, how to store, how to clean, what to make, where to purchase these stencils, and […]
Every Christmas, I love to dream up a new hot cocoa bar idea. Blame it on our currently blustery weather! It. Is. COLD. And we west coaster Canadians aren’t use to it. So this year, a cheater idea came to mind. How about a toolbox shelf? I love not having to build everything from scratch […]
I get asked all the time, “Are you coming out with any fall themed stencils?” Whoops. 🙂 Well, we do have APPLE FARM. But specific fall themed, not yet. I nearly did, but instead, we focused on our most requested all season designs, Laundry, Pantry, and Farmhouse. So… that left me with only one thing to do. Figure […]
So remember my epic fall bikeride through bear and train country in Part 1? Welcome to Part 2 – A trip to the local industrial coffee shop. My well earned reward for all that hard work I did prior! If you follow me on Instagram stories, you’ll have seen lots of shots of my new fav […]
I think it’s pretty safe to say, I am a true blue repurpose-aholic. I just took a quick look around my home, attempting to spot something brand new. The only thing I could pinpoint were the kitchen cupboards, fireplace, kitchen island, and stairway rails. But even with those, they were designed to have a repurposed, well […]
I can’t believe I’m actually sitting on a newly painted, AND clean patio, compared to just one short week ago! It must have been all that rest we took this summer. I knew once home I’d be antsy to get productive, but I had no idea I’d be doing this! And that just goes to […]
It all started when reader Sandy said she wanted to meet up with me. How cool! “Do you want to meet at the local restaurant… the house…?” “HOUSE! But please don’t pick up or anything.” Heh. That would be a little like saying to someone there’s no need for a plate to serve up dinner. […]
When we were in Hawaii last summer, we went to this little town called Paia, in Maui. It wears a true hippy vibe, with patchwork buildings, tall looming rustic trees, with plenty of dreadlocks and bare toes for good measure. So when I whipped up this little window box, it yelled BOHO!
