I just had to share this new site I found with all of my lovely blog friends, it's called Vintageprintable and here is just a small sampling of the amazing free prints they offer:

The only thing is that I can't decide between all of the options, I need to head over to Ikea and pick up some frames first!

I was watching re-runs of Steven and Chris ( CBC big mistake!) anyway I actually came across an episode I hadn't yet seen. I love how they have a feature called "What's in store" that takes us viewers on a tour of Canadian restaurants, shops and boutiques. Today they featured LIV boutique. They offer stunning furniture, linens, clothing, accessories and jewellery just to name a few.

Check them out, and if you are in Toronto drop on by, I know I will soon!

The other day while out shopping for...you guessed it Halloween party decor, I ran into an old high school friend, and we got to catching up in the very narrow and ram packed aisles of the Dollar store. After talking we realized how much we have in common when it comes to Home Decor and decorating. She too refinishes her own furniture and loves the DIY as much as I do. She told me about this great new job opportunity where she is using her marketing skills to showcase a great Canadian based, home decor, deals and advice website called Remote Stylist. It's the Canadian girl's version of Decor Pad which we all know and love. I went to their site and found some great useful information and tips for home decor and design. But don't worry their site is international and offers tips and advice, pictures and expert advice from around the world.

Check them out, you'll be glad you did.

Just got on the bandwagon, I have joined Twitter, if you are at all interested  in my fabulous life (LOL) you can follow me.

I have been busy planning for my first Halloween party and here are just some of the inspiration photos I've acquired:

So the backyard is never done, right? Or wait is that a house? Anyway here is what has been going on outside. To accompany my new custom built shed and my fence is a brand new deck. Here is what it looks like so far.

I've been busy again, never a dull moment in my life! I have been catching up on some refinishing projects lately. Here is the first, I've had this oriental inspired side table for a while, my sister picked it up at a garage sale a few years back. I decided to beautify it in classic off white with hints of pale blue and my new blue and brass hardware. Check out the before and after:

I handmade the mask, the dress I already had, pretty much everything else I got on ebay. The butterfly and the flowers in my hair were from the dollar store. The hottie next to me is my main squeeze, my boyfriend, what a gangster ;)
