Backyard updates

Well the siding is finally done for the shed. I am very pleased with how it turned out...now I have to look into solar light sconces ( these do exist right?) because my electrician is super busy. I also need to get a door knob and a window flower box and some shutters and then I will be officially done the shed...I swear!

But of course the deck is the next main project...it should be done in time to be enjoyed for next summer :)

in preparation of what's to come....

just a little eye candy of what you can expect from pink wallpaper tomorrow....

feature fabric hasn't been around in awhile...so why not feature one of my all time favorite companies....can you guess what it is?!

*don't feel shy about suggesting which one you want me to feature :) see you tomorrow....

color restraint.....

layering neutrals are a perfect way to create a charming space for anyone struggling w/ color...but one of the keys is to be sure to mix light and dark elements to build that wonderful definition.

a simple grosgrain ribbon....

can quickly turn into a beautiful source of inspiration....

some people think they are locked to a paint deck when trying to decide on a color palette for their interior, i think inspiration could be sitting right in front of you....

Kimberley Seldon

Every once and a while I like to feature great Canadian designers; a while back I covered the lovely Sarah Richardson and now I want to share with everyone (who hasn't already heard of her) Kimberley Seldon. I always see her on Cityline as one of the featured designers and she is also the decorating editor of Style at Home, and I just love her designs!

Here they are, take a look:
