in the house: Byron Bay

July 28, 2011

Summer feels like it’s almost here – minus a few degrees. Anybody been to Byron Bay, Australia? In my mind’s eye, it’s perpetual summer. This house for sale in Byron Bay has the inside/outside, light/bright, modern/lush appeal that’s perfect for a summer’s day.

in the house: Anna White

November 29, 2010

For all you DIY’ers about there – take a look at Anna White’s website full of free project plans and galleries. Shopping lists, cutting lists and videos included.

This little table is a simple project, elevated by function and funky colour.

Sometimes the most straight forward plans can be the most successful. Have a look at this high chair and this chair.



Send me photos of your latest DIY projects!

Ready for summer whenever you are, Mother Nature. I’ve been eyeing up this lounger and these floating torches, both available at Gabriel Ross in Victoria. Working on the pool deck part.

in the house: Spring Dining

February 15, 2010

Yesterday in Victoria was amazingly warm and sunny for this time of year. Got me inspired to spruce up my small space dining area with fresh infusions of spring.

Baby to Toddler high chair

Baby to Toddler high chair

CleverTomato started following me today on Twitter so I went to check them out. Modern kids furniture, helleluja! From the site, “We specialize in modern furniture products for babies, kids, teens and a few great things for Mom + Dad. These inventive products provide stylish work, sleep and play spaces that will inspire you as well as your kids.” From what I gather, they are based in the New York area, and don’t currently offer shipping to Canada. Unfortunately, such is often the case with many great finds I come across.

The high chair in the image above is on sale for $99. Check out this changer, the surfboard growth chart and this sweet toy box.

Baby bedding can be overwhelming to say the least. There is a fine line between fun and funny looking. Love this organic Fish and Pebbles bedding.

in the house: bedroom blues

September 6, 2009

Bedroom
Blue probably wouldn’t be my first choice for a bedroom colour, but this is a room I could spend some time in. Warm wood + gorgeous painting + amazing colour = no more bedroom blues.

I think you could create a similar sleek look with the “Sweet Dreams” bed and nightstands from Nood. Newsflash – everything in Nood is 50% off right now. Have you noticed that happens a lot? I noticed a bus in Vancouver with an ad for 50% off so it must not be a passing thing.
