I hope that you all had a lovely long weekend. I spent one hot and hazy day out on my balcony with cold drinks, a great playlist and a paintbrush. I took my own advice and painted my kitchen chairs a gorgeous shade of turquoise.  They look great against our overstuffed bookcase, but they would look even better mixed with accents from the Missoni Home Collection. Any similar accent suggestions are welcome.

map love.

with 2 comments

Living in Toronto is wonderful but there is one thing I really, really miss: my family! My heart is scattered across the globe in big pieces and it’s for this reason that I gasped so loudly when I stumbled upon this idea. I’m going to DIY my very own heart-shaped maps this weekend.

storage love.

with one comment

Those who know me and, well, now even those who don’t, know that I have a serious thing for nail polish. So of course my mind went straight to lacquer when I read Maegan’s latest brilliant DIY project. I’ve decided that I want to sort my polish collection by colour in my linen closet. So simple and lovely and also a good excuse to purchase a few more shades to balance it all out. Additional pretty storage ideas are always welcome, of course.
