All The BTS Goodness from HGTV Canada’s Home To Win
Cash me on HGTV Canada’s Home To Win, how ’bout dat? Did you see last night’s episode?! (I may be biased as yours truly was on it, but it was a flippin’ hoot.) I worked with Rob Evans to design a pretty-in-pink guest suite and a breezy guest bathroom which we tag-teamed with Samanth
Links + Likes: Best Espresso Beans and Black Long-sleeve Shirts, a WiFi Booster, Heeled Slides, A Patio from Heaven, + Imposter Syndrome
This Wifi booster has changed my working life. I like working outdoors on my back patio when it’s warm, but the WiFi’s typically crap and I have to stay close to the brick wall to get any signal. Not anymore! Pretty into these wood-heeled slides. Ever since I got my Breville, I’ve be
Save My Reno: Ken + Elisa’s Family-Friendly Basement
Guys, this is a bittersweet post. Last night was the season finale of Save My Reno on HGTV Canada. *tear* Every week, I’ve been sharing these recaps and insights and it’s going to be so strange to not have to work on these posts weekly. The good news is I’ll have more time for other types
Save My Reno: Lainie and Brian’s Eclectic Main Floor Reno
This episode was a wild one. I don’t know what was in the water, but when all four of us got together, at least one of us couldn’t help but break into song and dance. Between the “D-E-M-O” chant, Lainie and I’s dance-a-thons (there were many), and our cabinet-removal competiti

Save My Reno: Raj + Riva’s (Not So) Traditional Kitchen
Raj and Riva may have had traditional taste, but the tricks we pulled to keep this project on budget were anything but. After living with their boring brown kitchen for 11 years, this couple was itching for change. Ironically, the layout wasn’t an issue and they surely had enough cabinets, but they were
Save My Reno: Rob + Caitlin’s Master Suite
A mattress on the floor, mismatched hand-me-down dressers and no door to the bathroom—but nearly 400 square feet of untapped potential! Rob and Caitlin’s master retreat was huge but neglected. With four kids and another on the way, they never made time to prioritize their own room which is something
Save My Reno: Kenny and Lisa’s Rock n’ Roll Kitchen
Right from the get-go, this renovation was nuts (pun intended—you’ll see why at the end of the post)! The fact that I grew up going to Kenny’s punk shows and moshing to his band Moneen was crazy enough—but that’s only where the fun began. From the cat tree toss and animalistic howling during dem
Save My Reno: Jason + Nikki’s British Country Kitchen
If I had to title this renovation, I’d name it: old meets new with a spot of English countryside. I felt right at home in Jason and Nikki’s space. (Missed the episode? Watch it here!) Party because they were the warmest people, and party because of their aesthetic: a little cottage and a lot unfussy
