My day job is very progressive where they encourage you to work in an environment where you work best. With my mother ill and the commute getting longer, I decided home was the best place for me to work. However I quickly discovered that working with my laptop on the couch was NOT the answer. My neck and back can attest to that. So when AnthroDesk asked me to review their adjustable standing desk I jumped at the chance. And spoiler alert, my neck and back thank me every day! AnthroDesk sponsored this post however my review is honest and all thoughts are my own. I got mail! This box came in the mail for me and I got excited! But I didn't want to put the cart before the horse. I got my handy helper to help me build the desk converter to test this baby out! The ... [ Read More ]
EasyPress 2 Review (…and my “Dear Santa” Christmas Wall Hanging!)
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. But you know me, I'll only consider products I like and (*spoiler alert*) this is one of them! Cricut's line of products includes an EasyPress 2! When I cracked open the box to check it out, I'll be honest, I thought it was just a large iron. But nope! After using it, it's way more than that. I quickly discovered why I stopped making customized t-shirts or customized fabric projects that involved using an iron. It was so frustrating to figure out the heat setting you needed. And what's worse, I never got the pressure or timing right for the transfer to properly adhere to my fabric. This machine actually does the job and I have proof! I gave it a try with fabric that I ... [ Read More ]
Modern DIY Wooden Christmas Wreath!
Christmas. Without a doubt, it is my most favourite time of the year! And while life throws you curveballs (mom is still in the hospital), you look towards the fun times to get you through those rough times. Modern DIY Wooden Christmas Wreath! While I hadn't written in a long while because of mom's health issues, I decided to join some very creative bloggers for a “Deck the Home Blog Hop”! We’ll be sharing a themed Christmas post every week and this week’s theme is “Door Decor”. I’ve shared my project below but be sure to check out all of the creative talent in the link-up below! If you're not inspired to break out the glue gun, I don't know what it will take ;) Now my door decor project, a modern take on a Christmas wreath, changed so many times that I don't have all of the ...

Cricut Explore Air 2 Review (…and my new Halloween Soap Dispenser!)
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. You know me, I'll only consider products I like and (*spoiler alert*) this is one of them! I have been ga-ga over Cricut's line of products and when I was asked to try out their Explore Air 2 machine, I very nearly passed out. I had heard about all of the things you could create with these machines but it's one thing to hear about it and another to actually try it out yourself. Well now that I have, it's safe to say that I will never go back to traditional crafting. This machine is too good. And I only started with a simple project! But first things first, let's talk about the set-up. The Set-Up I was deathly afraid of screwing something up. Like I left the ... [ Read More ]
The smallest change can make the BIGGEST difference!
This truly is the smallest change I could make in our powder room. But it has sparked that Marie Kondo joy when I made it! When Function meets Beauty: The Tale of how a New Soap Dispenser made a HUGE Difference! Sounds ridiculous I know. But when you're in a bathroom, doing your business, generally you don't have any reading material or anything to look at except the bathroom details. That's actually why our powder became the focus of a "One Room Challenge" in the fall of 2017. At that time I had hated the paint colour, the mirror, the lighting, etc. So we did a makeover that transitioned our powder room from being beige to a little ballsy! Now back to our soap dispenser issue. Our Soap Situation - Before A bar of soap in a our powder room didn't work well for us so we ... [ Read More ]
A Design (and Blog!) Direction.
Today. It has been awhile since I've posted! And while I thought about quickly throwing posts together these last few weeks, I hesitated. Every year I make a commitment to myself to post at least once per week, do all the social media bits, nail down a few sponsorships and hope it would all be cohesive. But it isn't. Lately I've been feeling like my blog is splayed between design posts, DIYs, link parties, quick organizing tips, you get the idea. And while I've enjoyed writing these posts, I found myself frantically trying to put something authentic together every week, hoping for that cohesion and, most of all, hoping that my ideas would be inspiring to you. But in doing so, I feel everything has been too rushed. And in some cases, not well thought out or executed. In the ... [ Read More ]

SAMMANHANG for all Seasons – St. Patrick’s Day Edition!
My dining room table centerpiece (using IKEA's SAMMANHANG display stand) has been restyled again to reflect St. Patrick's Day! Well, I should say it's been styled with a HINT of St. Patrick's Day ;) St. Patrick's Day Styling with SAMMANHANG's Display Stand! As a little refresher, here's the $25 display stand I can't stop playing with: Previous Season Styling At Christmas time (when I discovered this glorious stand), I made it into a little Christmas village. Then I rejigged it for Valentine's Day: St. Patrick's Day Styling! So with a slight nod to St. Patrick's Day, here's what my current centerpiece looks like! So when I said slight nod, I meant it! Just a few "lucky" coins adorn the lot and the rest is filled with stones, faux succulents (I can't ... [ Read More ]
