5 Ideas For a Kids Art Gallery Wall (Our Home)

  5 Kids Art Gallery Examples in my OWN Home I’ve always loved my kids artwork.  From their early day scribbles to their present day masterpieces, each piece gives me a glimpse into their magical little minds and I love what I see.

The Painted Piano Episode – Think Pink…

The Painted Piano Episode – Think Pink…

  Nothing is Sacred…Nothing is Safe…HIDE ALL YOUR WOOD! For those of you who are lucky enough to know me well (wink wink), you know I occasionally suffer from a ‘wee bit of anxiety’.  Anxiety = Painting.  Some people drink when they are stressed.  I paint.  And drink (just joking…kind of). So here’s the problem.  My lil […]

Sea Glass Beach – Victoria BC

Sea Glass Beach – Victoria BC

The girls and I love searching for sea glass (and heart rocks) when we go to any beach, so when we discovered this little gem out in Sidney – we felt that we hit the jackpot. Sidney is located about 20 minutes south of Victoria on the way towards the Schwartz Bay ferry.  When you […]

Organizing Ideas : Organize Kids Artwork and Schoolwork – The Motherboard

Organizing Ideas : Organize Kids Artwork and Schoolwork – The Motherboard

  How to organize kids artwork and school work / papers during your kids’ creative years I called this “The Motherboard” for many reasons.  First, I was going crazy with all of the forms/papers/artwork that seemed to have barfed all over my fridge.  I needed a place to put them that was organized AND decorative – I needed a “control center“. […]

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint – French Linen On An Old Desk

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint – French Linen On An Old Desk

  Annie Sloan French Linen – Painted Desk There she was. Sitting in a basement, covered in boxes, papers and dust, calling out in a silent voice that said ‘Buy me, paint me, LOVE ME!’  So for the bargain basement price of $30 (a girl has to dicker!) I bought her and spirited her home. Once […]

Mid-week project – Painting my Feature Wall Navy Blue

I don’t like Feature Walls.  Okay, maybe I like them in your home because they may suit your home – but I don’t like them in mine.  So why did I paint one in my dining room? Is it boredom?  Nope.  Is it PMS?  Nope, not this time.  Is it the overwhelming urge to drive my […]

Kids Dress up Ideas – The Chartreuse Wardrobe

  Kids Dress Up Station I have many compulsions and neuroses which include an anxious type of yearning for hand cream, folded socks, the colour teal, Ryan Reynolds and….organization.
