        Hello Jamie,

        I’ve enjoyed your blog for a while and wanted to let you know. Life is full of so many twists and turns, and I am learning how to just relax, trust, and go with the flow.

        As I was enjoying the “Canadian House Tours” series back in August, I had no idea that our home was about to undergo a major renovation. I commented on your blog on August 20, and the very next day, my hubby and I came home to find that a pipe had burst and flooded our home while we were at work!

        Initially we were devastated, but I was grateful to the blogging community for all of the inspiration. (It definitely helped us through the 7-week renovation process).

        I know this is a lot, but I stopped by your blog tonight to say “thanks for sharing your home” and as I read my original comment (posted the day before our flood) it gave me chills throughout my entire body.

        There is no way that I could have known that appreciating the beauty of your house would lead me to my own! Thanks again and just wanted to share…

They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .
