Choosing the right furniture for a kids bedroom can be overwhelming. It often takes patience and planning to select pieces that can last through their ever-changing needs and tastes. For our 8-year old son's recent bedroom makeover, we partnered with The Brick to upgrade the furniture in Kash's space and have compiled our best 3 tips to help you navigate the process. 1.

Our Spring Home – Canadian Bloggers Home Tour
Hi again friends. It's March and it's Spring Home Tour Day!!! Today we're excited to be sharing a bit more of the Dreamhouse with you all! It's been a while since we shared our first ever home tour, but we've never actually shared a walkthrough of our living space when it wasn't all decked out for the holidays. We figured it was about time we came out of hibernation to remedy that. We're joining Shannon of Home Made Lovely and Christina of The DIY Mommy along with 21 other amazingly talented Canadian bloggers and all of us are opening up our homes to bring you a healthy dose of inspiration for Spring. At the bottom of this post, you'll find new posts from different bloggers every day this week - all things Spring. Hopefully Mother Nature will take notice and things outside of our homes will catch up.
Simple & Stylish New Year’s Eve | Year of Feasting Pt. 2
Kes & I love entertaining over the holidays. Whether it's elaborate family dinners or quick pop ins to deliver presents, the best part of this time of year is getting to spend time with friends and family. Often though, holiday entertaining is so focused on all things Christmas that by the time New Year's Eve rolls around, we're all partied out! We tend to stay in to ring in the new year so it's easy for decor to become an after thought. But it doesn't have to be that way!
