Sexy wallpaper

I saw the sign

I was inspired by Susie Harris who makes these great looking old vintage signs by hand. So I decided to make some of my own for around the house. It's my first attempt so be kind!

Looky looky what my neighbour decided to toss... I cannot wait to give this a new coat of paint, any suggestions?

Support art

About a little over a month ago my sister (Patti) hosted her first annual art fundraiser at Toronto East General Hospital to raise money for the hospital's patient care and wellness centre. While my sister is studying to become a doctor she also has quite a talent for art. She has been painting, drawing, printmaking and creating art for as long as I've known her. A lot of her artwork adorns our home. I am a very proud sister and thought it would be a great opportunity to showcase her work, as well as my good friends Miranda and Davena (artists as well). Let's all support our local artists.

Patti's artwork was also featured at NIMDAC Heart and Stroke foundation's live auction, where a lot of money was raised to support this great cause.

Just the other day I was lucky enough to be mentioned among some of my other favourite bloggers in House & Home's Greatest Canadian Blogs volume 2. Thank you to Trish (online editorial director for H&H) for mentioning WALLPAPER and thank you again to all of you who drop by, look around and leave encouraging comments. I can't say it enough, but WALLPAPER really is my passion and I love posting and blogging, I hope you all continue to enjoy it as well.

let's chat:

man, i love that sheer roman shade...so simple yet it looks amazing and how pretty is it w/ the light shining through....making a mental note in my head of this: great custom window treatment/ doesn't break the bank.

*time out* taylor just woke up crying/ coughing (she needed water, went back to sleep)

i think that hand that palm readers use is awesome. corky yet cool...every house needs a sense of humor.

hello jewelry box: please enter my house while i am sleeping....i promise i won't be mad. i can even tell you where our spare key is.

mary, mary, mary- that wallpaper, those lacquer lamp shades.....how i love the (and leontine linens, that's a given).

thanks for the chat...off to eat a halloween cookie....want one?

you probably don't need me to remind you that it's halloween....i need some inspiration, i am running low on fuel. not a single decoration is up (i find it hard to decorate when you are selling your house), taylor is sick for the 2nd time this month, and i barely slept a wink last night. on the plus side, my XL pumpkin coffee this AM was the bomb....
