I’ve had this dresser for the better part of 20 years and when my daughter was born, it became hers. As I’ve been decorating her nursery, I had fallen out of love with this particular piece of furniture. It had become dated and didn’t match the colour scheme of her room at all.

Tour This cozy and comfortable Show home
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to tour a brand new community in Calgary’s North West quadrant named Livingston.

The Great Boys Bedroom Debate
This fall we had a great big bedroom switcheroo. While pregnant with Hayes, I had a really hard time figuring out who to put in which room.

Gone are the days of animals, cutesy images, and flowers and in are stars, polka dots, sun bursts, and triangles. I love the fun…
Disney Inspired Boys Room
The Before This boys room started out dark and dreary. While it was very functional and it had great bones – furniture, accessories, etc. When you look step back and look at the room from a distance, the general feel of the room was a very dark. The furniture was all great as is, we kept…
Creative Kids Rooms
Creative Kids Rooms in Small Spaces It seems that once kids come into the family, everyone thinks they need way more space. Yes, there is a lot of gear out there that you may think that your baby has to have. I for one, am a true product junkie, and I am willing to try…
Living Large in Under 500 Sq. Ft.

This blogger managed to create small…
