Kitchen re-do

Yes I know I posted ages ago about re-doing the kitchen. Although I love the configuration I really don't love the colour of the cabinetry, I feel that it just doesn't go with the airy and neutral colour palette of the rest of the house, so it's time for a kitchen do over! The countertops are black galaxy granite, so they will stay. The cabinets are getting sprayed a soft white ( by professionals) and I am thinking of a counter height table and chairs. Here are some inspiration photos for the table and chairs:

Free Vintage Posters and Art

I just had to share this new site I found with all of my lovely blog friends, it's called Vintageprintable and here is just a small sampling of the amazing free prints they offer:

The only thing is that I can't decide between all of the options, I need to head over to Ikea and pick up some frames first!

Wouldn't this "Abrakadabra" print be just perfect for Halloween!

I love the x-ray medical prints

Store spotlight

I was watching re-runs of Steven and Chris ( CBC big mistake!) anyway I actually came across an episode I hadn't yet seen. I love how they have a feature called "What's in store" that takes us viewers on a tour of Canadian restaurants, shops and boutiques. Today they featured LIV boutique. They offer stunning furniture, linens, clothing, accessories and jewellery just to name a few.

Check them out, and if you are in Toronto drop on by, I know I will soon!

More Halloween decor

Yes I have Halloween on the brain still, and here are just a few more inspiration pictures. I would just love to feature all of these ideas at my party!

Spotlight...Remote Stylist

The other day while out shopping for...you guessed it Halloween party decor, I ran into an old high school friend, and we got to catching up in the very narrow and ram packed aisles of the Dollar store. After talking we realized how much we have in common when it comes to Home Decor and decorating. She too refinishes her own furniture and loves the DIY as much as I do. She told me about this great new job opportunity where she is using her marketing skills to showcase a great Canadian based, home decor, deals and advice website called Remote Stylist. It's the Canadian girl's version of Decor Pad which we all know and love. I went to their site and found some great useful information and tips for home decor and design. But don't worry their site is international and offers tips and advice, pictures and expert advice from around the world.

Check them out, you'll be glad you did.
