Surfaces I Love
When we were sourcing countertop and backsplash for our kitchen, we chose Dekton by Cosentino, but deciding on which slabs to go with was truly difficult. Their range is insane, between thicknesses, finishes, patterns and colours, and we were really torn between a few. We landed on Lunar, but in the process I f
Our Chalet’s Living Space
March 2020 launched a two-year odyssey for us. Not only did it kick off the global pandemic we all faced, but on March 1st 2020, we got the keys to our first home together. And finally, after countless delays, hiccups and dollars spent, we can confidently say that our interior renovations are complete! Of
Co-Existing with Nature With CRAFT Floors
All the wood is our home has a story-including our flooring. Made from the salvaged planks from old barns across Canada, our Hayloft floors feature beautiful craftsmanship and a perfectly imperfect look and feel. During summer of 2021, they came to visit our home and film a lovely little feature on our home: he
Our Master Bathroom, Revealed!
This room is more than just a bathroom to me—it’s my little wellness escape where I spend a lot of meaningful time. At long last, over 400 days since we first took a hammer to this space, our master bathroom is finally complete! It has been well worth the wait to see this space finally […]
Our Kitchen and Main Floor, Revealed!
To appreciate the story of this transformation, we have to rewind a bit, casting the clock back to March 2020. For everyone on earth, it was a month that changed things—on a global scale, and on an individual scale. Changes big and small impacted everyone uniquely. For us, life’s broader events hit on t
Our Basement Bathroom Reveal
Our basement bathroom is the first room in our home to be totally complete. No missing tiles, grout, cabinets or corners. When the door is closed, there is nothing left in that room to touch up or install. And it feels oh so good. How fitting that the first room done after all the hard […]
Our Exterior Envelope Details [and Siding Colour Reveal]!
It’s not hard to imagine how our home looked the first time we visited it one snowy day last November—it’s the five or so stages it’s taken since that muddle the memory. This weekend I was looking back on old photos from when we got our place in March, and it was a shock to […]
The Best: Bathroom Vanities
With our bathrooms almost complete, the final thing to source and choose is a bathroom vanity. We’re pricing out a custom piece, but if you know me then you know that in the meantime I’ve scoured all of my favourite shops for the coolest vanities out there right now—and some are even on sale!

Stylish Side and Accent Chairs
Leather, lambskin, boucle, cane, velvet, you name it, it’s on these curated accent chairs! Relatively inexpensive and extremely useful, accent chairs are a great way to add a pop of visual interest, colour, pattern or eccentricity to any space. And this season, there’s no shortage of interesting ang
The Best: Brass Lighting
Brass is timeless, comes in a variety of finishes to suit a variety of looks, and is applicable to almost any style or look. It pairs beautifully with black, white, wood—and even other metals like steel and nickel—and within our own home, it was a natural choice. With pine ceilings, black fixtures and light
Fully Gutted and Full of Potential
Two weeks into owning #PipersPeak and we’ve officially taken it down to the studs and foundation. In all honesty, we did not anticipate gutting our place to this degree. We were simply going to do a “partial gut of necessary areas” over a few days, then move forward with the build. But once we
Finding the Right Light – 15 Lights and Lamps to Buy Right Now
One of the first things we’ll be ordering for our new place is lighting, which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the overall design of the cabin. Lighting is not just an integral part of the build and functionality of a home, but of its design as well. It’s a permanent fixture, sure, but [&hell
House Plant Appreciation Day
As we usher in the weekend, I took some time this Friday morning to fuss over all of our houseplants, spritzing each plant with water and individually wiping each leaf with a damp towel, then lining them up at the window for a day of sun bathing. Our plants have been around for years and […]
The Holistic Approach + Our Kitchen Design [Cabin Update!]
With just three weeks to go until we get the keys to our place, it’s just starting to sink in, and we are so excited!!! We’ve been busy preparing for the renovations as best we can, which means lots of drawing, planning, scheduling, inspiration-hunting, measuring and lots of good, old-fashioned talk
The Renovation Plan and Design Vision for Our Home
From the day we bought our home (you can read about that here), we started planning the renovation and design of our space. We scribbled in notepads, drafted the home in SketchUp, hoarded inspiration on Pinterest , and created a massive excel Master List of SKUs and specs. Mike is not only a builder, but [&hell
We Bought a Chalet!!!
2019 was filled with life-changing moments, and in the final weeks before 2020, life introduced just one more: On December 23rd 2019, we became the proud new owners of an original 1980s chalet in Whistler—and we could not be more thrilled to finally share it! Our search for a place to call home on the [&helli

Reflecting on Year One in Squamish
It’s been 365 days since Mike, Piper and I drove across the country from Milton to Squamish, alternating driving shifts as we crossed Ontario, Winnipeg, Saskatchewan and Alberta before landing in British Columbia. Each night along the way, we’d wheel the houseplants we crammed in the back of the truck i
Happy, Holistic Home
For the past six years, home (and everything that entails) has become a huge part of my life. It first began in November 2013 when I found myself as the final winning bidder on a little home at an estate auction in Milton, Ontario. And ever since I got the keys to my first place, […]

The Piper Suite
Since the day we arrived in Squamish, it was clear that our home’s second bedroom was all Piper’s. What the second bedroom was not, however, was quite ready for guests—nor was the bathroom. The guest bed and bathroom (located side-by-side upstairs, separated from our master suite by a home studio)
Tackling the Elements with Our New Dyson V11 Absolute Vacuum
Living in Squamish has changed a lot. And while we claim to be “living our best lives”, it’s really Piper whose life is a fairy tale. Every morning she gets to run along the beach and swim in the river. And on evenings and weekends, she joins us mountain biking or camping. And these adventures […]
How I Organize My Pantry
I firmly believe that nothing should stop us from loving where we live. And being a renter again wasn’t going to get in my way of making smart modifications to better our home. Because it’s not about owning vs. renting—it’s not even about money—, it’s about comfort and pride. And tha
My Fave WordPress Themes for Bloggers + Creatives
As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve re-designed my blog (feast your eyes)!

Our Simple Squamish Guest Room
A few years ago, a big, empty white room would’ve been a tempting invitation to decorate. But our guest bedroom (which fits the bill), didn’t ignite that same feverish desire in me to fill it with stuff.

Save My Reno – Melina and Emma
As I walked up to this house on day one of filming, I knew we were in for a treat. The first thing I noticed was the architecture. Build in the mid-century, the home still had may original features (think sunken living room, a spiral staircase, two story windows, a gorgeous private yard with a […]
Ledge Love
The simple art of placing books on a ledge has brought me joy lately. In the new living room, we have a large window with a deep ledge on it, and I had debated getting a custom bench seat made, but the ledge isn’t totally flat: there’s a step-up 2/3rds of the way deep that […]
Must-Have Headboards
Ever since I spotted a headboard made from a vintage wrestling mat, I’ve been a hound for cool headboards.

Master [Bedroom] of the West Coast
To me, west coast style feels unconcerned. It seems to be about function first, individuality second, and aesthetics inspired by the surroundings. It’s beautiful without trying to be. It definitely took some time to figure out the space, and the style of the places out here! We’re still moving thing

Just because it’s a functional item that gets daily use doesn’t mean it has to look utilitarian. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so I pretty up my sink area because it makes me happy. It’s pretty simple. Between filling up the soap dispenser and gathering/arranging foliage I find on walk
Hunting for a Cushy, Deep Sectional (+ My Curated Picks)
In the last four years, I’ve had four sofas. Year over year, it’s been a revolving door of upholstery.

Beyond a seat, each furniture piece h
Our Cross-Canada Move Experience with QMM

Breathe Easy [Molekule Review]
As a kid, my understanding of air was that it came from trees and that we needed it to breathe. To go outside was to get fresh air, and the scientific makeup was N2, C2 and some other letters and numbers. Flash-forward to being an adult and our increasingly poor air quality is a common […]
An Ode To My New *Old* Entryway
When I first moved into my home in 2013, I developed a soft spot for the front door. Complete with a janky storm door, it was original to the home and perfectly and in tact. It had this thin strip of retro bubbled glass down the centre, a circular knob, and a silver mail slit […]

The Case For The In-Between Renovation
How do you improve the look of a space you’re inevitably going to remodel (without wasting money, effort or time)? Let me tell ya! I updated my bathroom TWICE before I saved enough to go full tilt.

My Happy Holiday Home Update
Just like us, our houses are a constant work-in-progress. And as life ebbs, flows and changes, so too does the home. I’ve gone through a few big life changes over the last while, and my house has not been immune—neither has my wallet, but who’s counting? (Technically me. I am.) We often think of h

Styling with Millennial Pink: For The Timid and For The Bold
