It feels like I was just writing The Best of April 2023 and now we are saying hello to June! I am really looking forward to this month, but before we dive into all that June has to offer let’s take a look back at the month of May. Last month was full of so…
Our Father’s Day Gift Guide 2023 is full of thoughtful and practical gifts any father would love to receive! While I always include special handmade gifts from our girls to Nick on Father’s Day, I also like to surprise him with a thoughtful gift that I know he will love. So I had Nick round…
Over the years Nick has honed his woodworking and carpentry skills by taking on our house projects all on his own. From his first build to completely renovating our kitchen and building the girls’ custom playhouse, he embraces each new project as a challenge and a way to improve his skills. No matter how big…
As a kid, there’s nothing better than getting lost in the magical world of make-believe and Nick and I wanted to create a special place for our girls to do just that. We designed and built this adorable playhouse tucked away into a corner of our backyard, and the girls helped me fill it with…
I really think every child dreams of having a playhouse. A magical little hideout they can escape to and spend hours playing make-believe. We knew we wanted to make this dream come true for our girls, so Nick built this adorable playhouse for them. Nestled into a corner of our backyard, this sweet little house…

It’s hard to believe April has come to an end, it feels like the month just sped by in a blur. We’ve been busy working on the cottage remodel and it’s so exciting to see it come so far so quickly. We still have a lot to do before it’s ready, and while the renovation…
Bedrooms are often overlooked when it comes to the design of our homes. Too often we spend all of our focus and resources on the main living spaces, like the kitchen and living room, leaving little thought, and budget for the rest of the house. And while we always need to take into consideration time…
Mother’s Day is just a few short weeks away and it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll spoil mom this year. There are so many ways to celebrate her and all of the special mother figures in your life. We love the idea of gifting her a shared experience, like tickets to a concert,…
Styling a large piece of furniture like a cabinet or hutch can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. It’s a lot of space to fill and it can be tricky to get the right balance of colour, material, and interest. But once you get the hang of it, cabinets and hutches are a great way to…
Shopping for our homes can be so much fun, and we’re big believers in creating a home that feels authentic and intentional. However, when it comes to decorating our homes, whether we’re simply adding a new accessory or remodeling an entire room, we often have to take into consideration costs and budgets. But it can…
