These are the most popular bars: 1 goats milk green tea, 1 goats milk lavender and oats and 1 chilli chocolat bar.All you have to do to enter is be a FOLLOWER of my blog, and tell me what you will be doing for mother's...

This week's DIY comes from Elizabeth at To be charmed who used Japenese washi tape to decorate her simple vases. I really love that this idea is very simple, no clean up! plus most of us have tons of empty vases laying around  (a lot of mine come from winning the centre pieces at weddings!) that need filling especially with all the lovely flowers that are starting to bloom. I also like...

I know weird post title...but I can explain. I just recently opened a new business, and since I don't make chocolate, well I guess you can conclude from the title I've gone into the soap making business.It all started when my sister Patti mentioned how much the soap we regularly use in our home was always bothering her. We changed the soap, several times but still her skin seemed to be sensitive to...

I had bought this garden stool a long time ago... when I realized the space between the armchairs in my patio furniture set was well... missing something, I knew just what needed to go there. So a little trip to Lowe's for some Berry coloured spray paint and ta-da! A great new side table/garden stool/ extra seating for my outdoor living room in a co-ordinating colour with my set!Did I mention...

I have added some things to the deck oasis (as I like to call it). I bought some potted plants for a Miami/tropical vibe and Patti bought a large outdoor lantern for the table (it has a very Hampton's vibe). I am still not very sure about an umbrella back here. The reason is because the backyard gets a lot of shade due to a rather large maple tree whose branches...

First let me just mention that this is my 200th post here on WALLPAPER! Very exciting when I logged in and just noticed that. I hope for another 200 soon...slowly but surely.I wanted to show everyone my other finds at my neighbourhood Thrift store. I had seen a few bloggers like Holly over at Life in the Fun Lane make their own pedestals and cake stands from candle holders and vintage plates....

You have to love going to thrift stores and finding little treasures. Here is my latest find, a black and clear glass jar with lid, and I think it is just too cute for words. You can house office supplies like erasers, paper clips or like me push pins for my corkboard inspiration and idea board.Stay tuned to see what else I found on my visit plus more backyard and deck updates...

In keeping with the theme of this week and the DIY, I thought I would let everyone know about a little secret place I love to shop. I have a store that I really love to scope out for great antique and art deco furniture at great prices! It's called Frontiers and I am sure many of my fellow Torontonians already know about my little secret shop because it has also become theirs!I...

I know I just recently started a new series of posts called Weekly DIY, however I have seen so many great DIY's that I just had to post more than one this week, especially because this one's from a friend of mine.

I remember watching Marriage Under Construction season 1 on HGTV Canada...I also recall how much I loved the final reveal and the designer very responsible for the entire look, the lovely Lisa Canning. You can go check her out here on her blog.Here is some of her most recent work on a client's downtown condo:So proud of our Canadian tale...

I wanted to start a new weekly post here at WALLPAPER called "Weekly DIY" where I search the net for fun, innovative, creative and affordable ways to DIY your home. I love DIY projects, to be honest throughout my life I have always tried to recreate things myself that I thought were not worth spending money on. I have made my own jewelery, upholstered chairs, headboards, refinished furniture, made...

Apartment Therapy has there Small, Cool contest  going on right now and I couldn't wait to check out the entries. As I don't exactly live in a huge home myself (a quaint bungalow) I love to see what people do with their small spaces. I always get so inspired! Here is one of my favourites in the Teeny Tiny division from Natalie in San Francisco. I couldn't believe the size of her place, I had...
