JINGLE BELL WREATHS
Enjoy the wonderfully familiar sounds of the holidays while keeping warm indoors. Hang this wreath where it will be heard (on a door, for instance), and bring the ring of sleigh bells to all the rooms in the house.

Getting ready for the Holidays!
Oh Christmas tree Oh Christmas tree… Its that time of year again when our homes will soon be filled with greenery, tinsel and eggnog. When is the appropriate time to put up your Christmas tree? Some people say Dec 1, others just go with family tradition. I say anytime after Halloween is acceptable. Its such a beautiful time of year, why not start as early as you can.
Here are some of my unique Christmas Tree favorites that I have gathered together. Enjoy! Feel free to share your Christmas Spirit and trees with us.
August- Outdoor Living
Outdoor Living Spaces
Wow, from the outdoor sectional to the bright red umbrella this outdoor living space really welcomes you. I absolutely love the stone holding up the countertop instead of cabinetry. This adds to the outdoorsy feel and durability of an out door living space. There is plenty of seating areas, weather you want to have a dinner with a nice glass of wine at the counter top height table. The stools are high enough that you still have a great view of the TV. Or if you would like to sit back, relax and watch the baseball game on the cozy couch. I think I speak for everyone when I say this Space is spectacular.
Working with smaller back yard living spaces? How interesting is this covered structure instead of buying the typical Gazebo from your local Hardware Store. This design has so many little details that made it all come together beautifully. Especially the hand made and hand steamed black circle on the back side of the structure. That is an amazing design feature that truly stands out at night. Check out that bamboo bench very rustic and original.
I hope everyone is enjoying their last months of Summer, soak up that outdoor living time!

July – Colour Palette
July, Summer is finally here! This month I wanted to stick with kitchens as we tend to have a lot more guests over during the warmer months and entertain more. The time spent in kitchens may increase. Some of the color inspirations this month range from sea foam green to soft peaches and vibrant intense tangerine oranges. Below I will show you that these colors can all be incorporated into kitchens without looking silly or tacky.
Sea Foam Green
Tangerine Orange
June Colour Palette
Neon Pink
The color pink represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing. Pink is a very feminine colour and can add a sense of femininity to any space.
What do you think of how pink is used in this space? The thing with neon that has become apparent, is that one either loves it or hates it. I for one love neon colors and find it pretty uplifting. Neon’s are full of exuberance and intensity, which is what most lovers of neon pink find appealing.
Aqua Blue/ Turquois
Color Palette- Month of May
It’s May! A month full of reasons to celebrate. Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Victoria Day Weekend. The sunshine has started to show itself and warm us up, really brightening up everyone’s day! Road construction crews and spring clean up are in full effect. This colour palette mixes aged tones, rustic wood, and bold shades of rust to create a chic, eclectic look!
