Lights for thoughtSo here I find myself offering up some nice pics from http://www.homedepot.ca/ for my sisters new house, which in her words needs lighting updating. I think any little girl would love this cream light fixture , with simple basic white lamp shades covered with trim and fantastic fabric,the square whi…
A rug for many roomsI found a great deal on a cotton rug yesterday , I had thought it would look great in my family room, but fear it will just become a big pee pad for our new puppy, it was 68% off so it was quite a steal, however it would easily suit the living room where it is now family room even dining room, where…
The evolution of my bedroomI just wanted to share some of things that I have done to update my bedroom over the last 6-8 months,Funny how things change , my original thought for this room was a mocha colour, which I tried some samples of just looked mucky and dreary, after finding this blue it gave me the calm feel I was aft…
Pretty Things.....Look at all the pretty things I saw today , can you believe I found an even more perfect bench than yesterdays, well I think I did, this one is button tufted and just slightly more than the pottery barn one and comfy, the island is so gorgeous, if I didn't have one, this would need to come home with…
TripsOn Sunday we took an hour long drive to one of my favourite places Aberfoyle Antique Market near Guelph Ontario, it it one of the oldest, sadly I forgot my camera and we were too far off to turn around to get it , but I will go back at the end of September for the big show, and do a proper post.

To sit or not to sit.Benches ,benches ,as my dilemma continues with my dining room continues, I have great faith that the X back or Hampton chairs I ordered will be just what is needed to make me happy and update this space, but the table I have is long now but can be even longer with one more leaf, so I want to make th…
Although I would always choose shopping for my home over clothes, I tackled the daunting task of finding an outfit for my dear friends wedding coming up in two weeks,of course my intention was to drop at least 10 pound but that hasn't happened, I haven't completely given up on trimming a few pounds…
And the winner is ......As the dining room saga continues...I have made a decision of sorts, I have ordered the x back chair, I love it I always have, and when I went searching Design inc's website I saw the room I have coveted for so long and said yes this I too must try, if they don't work I will return them.....now what…
This is starting to feel like show and tell ....I just had to show a picture of one of my favourite meals, dinner meals, thankfully my kids have grown to love it as well.Apple pancakes, my mom used to make them for dinner, not breakfast, perhaps this is why I would always choose breakfast for any meal , I love it all, all the breakfast foods. I …
The Toronto ZooI have very fond memories of visiting the zoo as a child, riding the zoomobile, which is quite expensive...but I have always love this zoo , so it is nice for me to bring my children to make some lasting memories for them as well.

UpdatesOn goes my dining room drama, I decided today to tackle painting the chairs a creamy white, but I am already worn out, it is such fiddly work, annoying, and the paint isn't wanting to stick, the pic of the chair on the floor is with three coats,so I have found two very nice options from sears, I li…
