How is the weather where you live? There is frozen rain snowing down outside but we’re keeping cozy indoors by the fire this morning. Hope you are keeping cozy, too!

It’s not done but there’s progress! Paint on the lower half of the wall in our son’s room makeover for the ORC! The dark green colour we went with turned out to be exactly what we had hoped! It's Peale Green. Now onto the mural this week, and then we get to pull this room together! Yay!

April showers bring May flowers... if the showers ever go away, that is! We had a little break in the 🌧 this afternoon but we’ve got 10 straight days of rain in the forecast! At least there are some happy flowers still blooming on the front porch! Pop over via my https://bit.ly/3Ku3UMR

The power of paint and paneling! One of my favourite makeovers in our forest house is our foyer. I think this paneling and white paint completely updated a very 60's/70's entryway. I'm hoping to add some paneling to our foyer in the new build as well! Is there anywhere in your house that you'd love to add paneling?

Do you sometimes spend months over-thinking furniture decisions?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂🤷🏼‍♀️ For the past few months I’ve been pondering switching up our coffee table for something more substantial. Something with simpler lines. I’m bet you’ve heard that Wayfair is having their big WAY DAY sale today and tomorrow and I’m looking at these three options (swipe left!). The first one is the most expensive but my fave (of course), next one is the biggest at 48x48, and the third is about the same size as what we have but I love the white concrete. Which one do you like? Or do I go back to the drawing board… 😂

I've been asked so many times about the flooring in our new build! We went with vinyl plank almost throughout the whole thing and we love it! So easy to take care of; low maintenance and comfy underfoot. I shared all the reasons why we picked this vinyl plank on the blog - pop by via my https://bit.ly/3gTTnxk

Would you go gold?! I can still remember back to the huge aversion I had towards all things gold in my teenage years. Cool metals were definitely 'the thing' and gold and brass felt like something outta my parent's house. Things sure come full circle, don't they? We chose satin brass gold hardware from to use throughout our entire new build and I couldn't be happier! Isn't it just the prettiest? Like a little piece of jewelry on our classic white doors! I shared a post full of my 'whys' as well as tips for installing this hardware yourself - it's super easy to do! Pop over via my https://bit.ly/38izYou

It's my first PB knockoff in a while, and I'm loving how it turned out! 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼I've been all about the vase painting the past couple months, and I think this version might be my favourite yet. PLUS I love this new method I tried for creating that textured earthenware artisan hand painted finish. Check out “the before” and my original Pottery Barn inspiration piece! $212 for theirs and $12 for mine! Pop by the blog for the full tutorial:
