Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basDo you believe in ghosts? While I like to put on a brave face, the truth is I secretly do. You try watching American Horror Story at midnight all alone and tell me you don't get a shiver up your spine. Speaking of AHS, when it comes to haunted houses are you a believer? Would you ever stay in one?
Well, here's your chance! Did you know that there are actual haunted houses on the market that...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs the wind is getting a little nippy these days, I did a recent 'back of the closet' haul to take out all of my stored away, big bulky sweaters. Of course, every year there are always one or two sweaters that as I pull out, I think to myself, 'yup, this one has seen better days'. Whether it's simply worn out, has a few too many holes orhas an ugly run in the thread, it's...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basCheerio, Mate! I guess it's because this summer's Olympics are taking place in London because lately, I've been having a bit of a British love affair! You could say I've become a total Anglophile, with a need to collect all things English.
Which is why this week, I'm all about the Union Jack. Whether it's printed on shoes, hair accessories, tees or chairs,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith not one, but two August long weekends soon making their way into summer, we thought it was only appropriate that we celebrate the best way we know how: with a backyard BBQ! I am convinced that the summer was invented just so we could have BBQs. Is there really anything better?
Part of the essential BBQ experience (besides the delicious food) is the decor and general ambience. Lighting is...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs some of you chicks may or may not know, I love getting my hands dirty and getting crafty. Whether it's revamping some furniture or creating a custom flavoured drink, I'm down for some DIY! Getting all artsy can be a bit tricky. It takes lots of time and some serious crafting skills which sometimes, I just don't have. Which is why I love to find really simple projects that I can do...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI saw this in a magazine listed as a top tip of designers. It's something I've never heard of before, but apparently painting the inside of a black lampshade shocking pink or red is not only a design statement, it creates softer mood lighting. Since I'm such a newbie to this whole D.I.Y business, I thought this fool-proof project had my name all over it. I got a gorgeous...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs they say, one person's trash is another's treasure. In my neighbourhood it is customary to leave things you no longer need at the end of your driveway for anyone to take. It's a great way to get quality stuff for free. I've seen everything from gently used strollers to solid wood coffee tables, sofas, chairs, bicycles, books and random odds and ends. Sidebar: I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI saw this idea in a design magazine a year ago that I think was Canadian House & Home and it struck me as so stupid simple, even an all thumbs person like myself could do it. They used it as an accent piece in an upstairs hallway but I bought such a big piece of canvas I only had room for it in the living room.
All of the supplies were from an art store that was having a sale on...
