Fresh Start - Home Depot Surprise

I know I'm hours late in posting.  It's just been one of those Mondays.  The weekend was great!  Very busy.  I did manage to purchase the nursery items off my list but nothing else was completed. 

A friend of mine (Jane) introduced me to her latest find - Home Depot headboards!  Check it out.  They looks gorgeous online.  The only down side is you cannot look at the fabric selection in person BUT if you don't like the finished product it's fully returnable!  :)  The price doesn't get much better either $279 - $519 for a king. 

Tomorrow I'll update you on the nursery.  Have a great evening! xo

Fresh Start Monday - Kardashian Inspiration

Morning!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I had a lovely day on Saturday and then suffered with a stomach bug yesterday.  I'm still at home recovering.  So today let's get inspired with Kloe Kardashians home office.  It is very sexy!  Working from this office all day long might actually help my sales.  Wish I could try a change of venue but I doubt the boss will pay for it.  


Have a great day!

Fresh Start - Style at Home Living Room

Morning!  I don't know about you but my weekend flew by too quickly!  There is so much to get done between now and Christmas.  It seems each weekend for the next 5 weeks is jam-packed with events, to-do list tasks and preparing for the Jelly Bean's arrival.  We purchased the crib on Saturday.  It won't be set up for another few weeks as we still need to paint the stripes.  I've narrowed my selection down to 3 green paint colours.  I'll take a picture tonight if the light is good. 

Today's fresh start image is by Virginia MacDonald.  She is a very talented Canadian photographer who works for many of my favourite magazines - House & Home and Style at Home.  This living room was featured in Style at Home last month.  I  love it all!  The simple drapes, large gold mirrors (exactly what I need in our living room), and jewel toned accents and a minimalist look.  Well done indeed! 

Have a great week!!  xo

Fresh Start - High Gloss Bathroom

Good morning my lovely readers!  Another weekend has come and gone.  Mine was filled with eating!  I ate out for dinner Friday, lunch Saturday and dinner Sunday.  If you live around Toronto I highly recommend checking out School Bakery & Cafe in Liberty village for brunch.  It was delicious!!!

My uncle has asked me to help him decorate his loft.  I'll show you the before pictures later this week.  We'll be making progress quickly as he wants to get it done ASAP!  The main sources of furniture will be from Crate & Barrel and West Elm.  

Today I'm featuring a high-glam bathroom by Pamplemousse Design.  I fell head over heels for this bathroom the second I spotted it.  Can you imagine starting your day in here?  I think I would jump out of bed every morning to enjoy a cup of tea on one of those lovely chairs taking it all in.  I love everything about this room!!  The walls must be done in a high gloss marble because they are perfection.  The sconces next to the mirrors are simply divine! Two sinks is something I dream of having one day and that huge mirror extends the beauty of the room.  I think I could honestly work all day from this room.  Talk about an inspiring room to start our week! 

Enjoy!!  xo

Fresh Start - Margaret Bosbyshell's White & Green Atlanta Bedroom

Good morning!  It's another gorgeous autumn day in Toronto.  I love this season!!  I had a bit of a rough start to my week.  Terrible sleep and woke up with Braxton Hicks contractions for the first time.  It was painful and a bit scary but didn't last long.  So I emailed working saying I would be late, went back to bed and took my time getting ready.  I think I was worried about work which needs to stop.  Baby comes first! 

As with last Monday's post, today we'll start the blogging week off with an inspiring image - a crisp green and white bedroom by Margaret Bosbyshell of Atlanta.  I love how she paired the simple white and green bedding with the bold patterned walls, clean white drapes with a strip of green on the edge and no fuss white chandelier.  There are a few touches of glamour with the gold mirror above the bed, gold framed nightstands and large white fabric headboard that wraps around the edges of the bed.  I could easily climb into that bed and relax in this room today.  Maybe it's because I love the fresh pairing of white and green or because I'm craving/needing more sleep.  Either way, I love this room!! 

My New Series - Fresh Start!

Morning readers! It's a beautiful sunny Monday morning here in Toronto. Normally I hate Mondays (probably due to not loving my career at the moment) so I've decided that I must do something every Monday to inspire all of us and to start the week on a positive note. What better way than to feature a gorgeous room or something I love. I'm thinking of calling this series 'Fresh Start'. We'll see if it sticks. Let me know if you have another suggestion.


Today’s room is from Elle Decor. I saw it last week and was immediately attracted to it. I love its simplicity. The white walls and sheer blinds provide a calm and easiness to the room. There is nothing to compete with the neutral sofas and cozy caramel coloured chairs. And look at all the light! I could sit by that window for hours reading, sipping tea and munching on those little French macaroon pastries. Ah, what a perfect way to start our week.
