Make Your Own Pottery Barn Cable Knit Pillow
I recently spotted some beautiful pillows from Pottery Barn that I planned to buy for our home, but when I added up the cost of two pillows and tax and shipping to Canada, it was in the hundreds of dollars. Since I’ve been knitting for 35 years I thought it would be easy to make these pillows. It was easy and quick and I was able to use a readily available yarn from Michaels to make a pair of cable knit pillows for $15 worth of yarn and some leftover fabric scraps. In this post, Make Your Own ...
Green and white Christmas living room decor
I tend to decorate with neutrals at Christmas (well, at every time of the year for that matter!). This Christmas I decided to use shades of white, green, beige, and gold. Green is my favourite colour and it finds its way into all of my decor. Green is the perfect neutral at Christmas time- just when the outdoor landscape is turning brown and grey, we bring in the freshness of green trees, pine boughs, and wreaths. White and light beige keep the look bright and the gold adds that touch of sparkle ...

How to Make Reversible Placemats
In my opinion, all placemats should be reversible for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it’s great to have two different designs in one placemat, because it means more design options with a smaller storage requirement. Also, with young children, messes happen and it’s helpful to be able to flip the placemat over and get additional use out of it. These reversible placemats are easy to make and will hold up to lots of use. I paired a pretty green and white gingham with a floral chintz, but you can ...
HELLO BLOGGING WORLD, HERE I COME
Hello Friends! I can’t tell you how excited I am to start this blog. It’s been a long time coming- I first envisioned the idea three years ago after starting my Etsy shop, but I wasn’t quite in the right place to create beautiful content and devote the time required to posting regularly. Two years ago, I left my day job to pursue my décor dreams and to have more time home with my boys, and have since decorated most of the living spaces in our home, and tried my hand at all kinds ...
