Our New Garage Door!
Like the cherry on top, the diamond earrings, the final touch. We are beyond excited to share with you guys our new garage door! We have been working with Clopay Doors for almost a year to make this vision come to life, and it has been so worth the wait.
Cello Good Lookin'
So we fell completely into the millennial stereotype and “treat yourself” (hah, treated ourselves) this past weekend. We finally got an appropriately sized sofa for our living room and we got it for one heck of a good deal!
How We Keep Our Fiddle Leaf Fig Alive
Okayyyy let’s be honest. Fiddle leaf figs are definitely one of the most desirable and yet intimidating house plants out there. And no, I’m definitely not perfect and for sure lost my first FLF to a classic case of root rot. Yet somehow, after trying out different techniques of watering (1 cup of water a week did not work for me), sun exposure and general care I have successfully kept my tree alive for 3 years! The plant gods are definitely on my side with this Figgy, so I thought it would be helpful to share some tips and tricks for keeping a happy fiddle leaf fig in your home.
9 Really Good Affordable Brass Chandeliers
We love, love, love our Pelle Chandelier from West Elm. When we moved into our home just over a year ago, the first thing I wanted to replace was the dining room chandelier. Chandelier shopping is not everyone’s cup of tea, but lucky for you I rounded up 9 brass chandeliers that are all $350 or LESS and will help you get a similar look to our Pelle chandelier on a budget!
Our Bathroom Budget Breakdown
So now that our bathroom renovation is complete, how much did it all cost?
The Half Bath Reveal
This half bathroom in our lower level is the first space in our home that we completely gutted and renovated and I am so proud! The space feels truly like us, and we are high-fiving ourselves for completing our first overhaul inside our home.
I'm ready for you Spring!
As soon as the snow starts to melt and the days become longer, my little heart skips a beat. Spring is definitely the best season of all and I am SO happy it’s finally here. The past few months definitely dragged on, with seriously cold temperatures and zero desire to do anything. With all the positive change that is about to happen outside, I definitely want to carry those vibes into our home. I don’t make a ton of changes within our home season to season, but with spring I definitely peel back the heavy winter layers and am ready to let the light in!
What's happening in the bathroom?
So we’ve been working on the powder bath in our lower level since the end of January and we cannot wait until we are passed the messy stage that we are in right now. Drywall dust is everywhere, mud is everywhere, and stuff is everywhere but I love it anyway!
all the details behind our exterior makeover!
The first time we saw our home, it was almost love at first sight. We completely fell in love with the floor plan, the amazing neighbourhood, the fireplace and those floor to ceiling windows (hubba hubba). The exterior… was something we knew we could work with, and to say it has come a long way is an understatement.
