This year I have chosen to make some new vintage looking holiday ornaments. To achieve the antiqued look I am using items such as pages from books, and sheet music as the base. Specifically, I am cutting strips from the sheet music and looping those strips together to make paper chains. Which look super when [...]

So your living room is in need of some sprucing up, but you have lived with the space for so long you can no longer tell what is good and what is no longer working. This is a very common occurrence, and can be addressed in no time flat. Just ask a family member, or [...]

If you have kids, then you have regular encounters with small boo boos, and the aftermath that comes with them. You know all to well that moment when little Lilah takes a spill on the rug and there is silence for half of a second. There is that fleeting moment where you are uncertain if [...]

I can remember very clearly how unattractive couch covers, aka slipcovers, used to be because I owned one way back when. They are such a good idea, but for so long they just looked sloppy, and as though you were totally trying to conceal some past sins committed upon furniture. I might as well have [...]

I have become disgruntled recently over the deceptive recipe titles I encounter all too often on the internet. Terms like healthy, guilt free and low calorie get attached where they flat out do not belong. And while it might be obvious, I feel the need to instruct everyone who looks to cut fat and calories [...]

One thing that always livens up a space is living plants. So few people put the time in to nurture indoor plants, but it can be really simple. So I view this is a major area of impact that is overlooked. If you want to add some vavavavoom, or spruce things up I say turn [...]

My daughter and I have been making lots of recipes in the kitchen together recently. I thought it would be nice for us to have aprons to put on before delving into the whole kitchen experience. And, to be quite frank, she is only five, so she has a way of wearing more ingredients than [...]

Each Saturday morning, after surfing, I dive into cleaning my home from top to bottom. While the house is not enormous, my habits throughout the week leave a towering mess that sucks up my beloved Saturday. So, for the last couple of weeks I have been trying to implement a new approach to cleaning. The [...]

Of all the things you could choose to improve, upgrade, or flat out change, a new kitchen is a sure-fire investment. Often times returning more than one hundred percent of the cost of the completed project. The kitches is one of the rooms we spend the majority of our time, and people shopping for homes [...]

As a child, I was given a flower press, and I savoured each and every sheet of tissue paper that it provided to make delicate creations. So last weekend after collecting a ton of gorgeous wildflowers, oh and admittedly some neighbour’s prized flowers, I thought of how great it would to press a few. After [...]

Just about everyone has a parent or relative that swears by the benefits of growing your own herbs. It sounds like such a good idea, but admittedly for most of us, there are more pressing matters to handle first. Thus, the research, gathering of materials and time assembling a kitchen herb garden lands pretty much [...]
