Well it’s that time of year again! I’m sipping hot chocolate, listening to Christmas music and watching the snow swirl about outside. We’ve put up the Christmas lights, decorated the tree and hung the stockings. We are in full Christmas spirit around here! So I thought today’s the perfect time to share my DIY glass…

Gender Neutral Nursery
Since finding out I was pregnant I was convinced I didn’t want to find out the gender of our baby. What I didn’t realize was how much this was going to affect how I planned to decorate the nursery. In the beginning, I was set on a gender-neutral nursery, I wanted a room that was…

But this Italian classic is really quite easy once you’ve cooked it a few times. The best part is it’s so versatile! There are so many great risotto recipes out there, once you find…
How To Create a Stairway Gallery Wall
I’ve always loved gallery walls. There is just something about that eclectic mix of favourite photographs…new and old memories put on display. When we moved into our home we knew immediately that is what we needed to add some character and life into our boring front entrance. We decided on black frames with black and…
Kitchen Remodel {Part One}
Any time I walk into an open house, I look for potential. As nice as it would be to walk in and say “this house is perfect”, it rarely ever happens. When we decided to purchase this house, there were definitely some rooms that were nice, but I could see the potential was there to…
