I finally got around to capturing the transformation of my living room and kitchen so I am here today delivering some fresh home decor content. As you can see, I’m not afraid of colour. When I came to look at the condo with my realtor, the space was crowded with oversized brown leather couches and…

Dining Room Reveal
As you may have guessed, I’m not doing much entertaining these days but I’m always looking for an opportunity to craft a beautiful tablescape. 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…
Home Bar Essentials
One of the most common questions I get is, “What do I need in my home bar?” I’ve been getting a lot more of these questions lately since I started hosting my nightly virtual happy hour on Instagram. In the interest of taking some of the guesswork out of the art of building a well-curated…
Empire State Sipper
I’m very excited to announce that I will soon be introducing fashion content to the blog. Today’s post is kind of dipping my toe in the water, a mix of fashion, some photos featuring moi, and a delicious cocktail recipe. For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I often share…
Home Office Makeover
My condo is a one bedroom with a den. To be honest, I’m not really sure what the intent of a “den” is supposed to be and it seems the previous owners didn’t either. The den is directly on your right as you enter the condo but was just an assortment of random furniture and…
Galentine’s Day Ideas
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to more fully appreciate the women in my life. I’m less concerned about chasing men or being on someone’s arm and much more enamoured with the idea of surrounding myself with brilliant, compassionate, hilarious, talented, and beautiful women who bring joy to my life in a myriad of ways….
How to Succeed at Whole30
I successfully completed the Whole30 challenge and I’m here to tell you how you can do the same (if you’re so inclined). If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Whole30 is an elimination diet designed to remove certain food groups and then reintroduce them after a period to identify possible food sensitivities. What’s eliminated…
Calgary Tasting Tour
I was tempted to write a “36 Hours in Calgary” post but then I realized I spent nearly the entire time in big sky country eating and imbibing so I wouldn’t have much insight to offer on topics beyond indulging. So, after four days in Calgary, here are my hot takes on must-visit restaurants and…
Midcentury Modern Bedroom Makeover
I am very excited to welcome you to my first ever home decor post on the Taste & Tipple blog! YAY! When I founded the blog back in 2017, I always hoped to speak to both food and lifestyle. In the past two years, food has certainly dominated the content aside from the occasional gift…
Best 2019 Advent Calendars
I took a poll on Instagram to see when people were ready to start seeing holiday content on the blog and several of you felt strongly that nothing should start until after November 1st, others felt after Remembrance Day was more appropriate. All the while, my gift guides from 2018 and 2017 have been steadily…
