Our Coastal Inspired Living Room

Jun 9, 2016

No comments
Oh yay, excited to finally be sharing a few peeks into our new home! Martin & I have lived here for a year, and while we definitely have more to do (like wallpapering the second bathroom & painting our master) it's most certainly feeling like home sweet home! Originally, I was certain I wanted to keep everything white. However, in the end it felt too sterile, and so, we've slowly started adding colour & pattern over the last few months. We absolutely love it! It adds warmth, energy and the most perfect coastal vibe!


When it comes to adding colour to your home? My best advice is to keep your furnishings neutral, and inject colour & pattern into your accessories. That way, you're never overly committed, plus you can swap out your pillow covers during the different seasons. My favourite! Currently, our two main accent colours are blue and a touch of red. You can see the blue in our pillows, gallery wall (which also has a hint of red), area rug and tray. I even bought the prettiest blue bowls to carry the colour into our dining room. Hands up, if you're a fellow home geek! xo

New Home Sneak Peek

Mar 26, 2015

As promised here's a sneak peek at our new home. Yup, we're pretty darn excited! Many of you have asked about our decor and I'm excited to say I definitely have lots of plans & ideas. We're focusing on lovely pale grey's, creams and creating interest by layering lots of texture. For the master bedroom we'll be keeping things white & airy and adding grey damask wallpaper to our ensuite bathroom. Lastly, the second bedroom will be converted into a full office + will house my online shop, which by the way, will be re-opening once we move! Lovely, right?! If you'd like to see more of my inspiration for the new space? Be sure to check out my pinterest boards... beautiful spaces, for the home and office inspiration! xo

Our Newly Painted Dining Room!

Ah, there's nothing better than paint - especially when it's a fun & daring colour, like red! I've always been drawn to bold pops of colour in home decor, but for some reason I've been too chicken when it's come to our own space. So with that said, I took the plunge, threw my reservations out the window and decided to go for it! We're absolutely in love with the final result! Our condo is open concept with over-height ceilings, so our feature wall has lent itself perfectly to the rest of the space + pairs well with our beige decor and dark kitchen. Fun! We chose Benjamin Moore Nutura paint in Grand Canyon Red; it's a non VOC paint and my favourite part is it has no odor. My hubby was more than gracious and did all the trim - it's my least favourite part. And Scout?!... Well, you know, he had the easiest job of all! Wishing you a great Thursday, friends. Anyone else painting? I'd love to hear all about it! xo

(AND... a little before & after action! We're loving the final look!!)
