Well, it’s March 20th and this is my first blog post of 2023. That should be a pretty good indicator of how overburdened/burnt out I’ve been so far this year. Taking on my usual Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar in the midst of renovating a house, juggling my day job, and writing for Ottawa…

Condo Bathroom Makeover
It has been a hot minute since I posted a home decor post but I am elated to be finally sharing the most dramatic transformation of any room in my 600-square-foot condo. It certainly wasn’t the work of a moment but the bathroom has been transformed from dull and depressing to a pretty in pink…
Best Art Websites to Define Your Home Decor Style

I ordered some new table linens and accessories before we were locked down and wanted to pull them all together in a curated dining design that would accentuate the colour palette…
