Two Saturdays ago we held our open house / house warming party. The weather cooperated with us which was awesome because I don’t know how we would have housed all those people just inside. Though...
Part of the reason why I love forests is because I love moss and ferns. Or maybe the reason I love moss and ferns is because I love forests. Either way, the best thing about our back yard is that...
When all your money gets tied up in home renovations, you have to be a little creative when it comes to furniture and accessories. Luckily, while driving to one of the factories I spotted this...
Remember when I went to new restaurants all the time? Yea, that was fun. I told Chad if we ever won the lottery that’s what I would do with my life. I would dedicate it to food. And restaurants....
A few years ago a friend was on set filming a movie at Riverview Hospital in the Crease Clinic. She posted some of her photos from the inside of the building and after seeing them online I became...
When we moved into the house, a lot of hand me down furniture came with us. In fact, 85% of the our furniture consists of hand me downs. A friend of my Moms was replacing her dining room table. It...
One of the things I love about the location of our house is its proximity to Mundy Park. There is nothing better then having a giant forest walking distance from your home. Last weekend we finally...
The past four days have been like a dream. The weather has been mind blowing and spending almost every day outside has made it feel like we were on vacation somewhere out of town. I am obsessed...
I keep forgetting to upgrade my flickr account to PRO so I only have access to the photos Chad takes with his phone. As you can see, there is a specific theme to these photos. I am about to embark...
Last Monday was Earth Day, right? Chad decided he would risk his life to scrape off a window sticker that has been hanging on for way too long. I can not stand it when products have stickers on...
All of our Fall fabric arrived in the warehouse last week and it has been madness ever since. There is always a struggle with getting the fabric shipped at the right time and this year it feels...
I don’t know how it started, but I have an obsession with all things Nautical. Chad likes to joke that I have 3 “looks” when I get dressed in the morning – Lesbian, Sailor and Lesbian Sailor. Part...
During the course of our renovations everything ran pretty smoothly. Yes it did take 100 years longer then I expected, but when you look at some peoples renovation disaster, waiting is really not...
This past weekend Mama Rossi and I started to dig up the front garden. I have neglected it for an entire year (since you know, we were busy with other things) and I really wanted to take some time...
Word up my Hombres. Last weekend was crazy good, weather wise. You know how every time a long weekend rolls around here in the expensive city of Vancouver it is usually horrible and filled with...
I only have time for a post like this today. Here at the office we have run out of sugar, paper towels and have now canceled our subscription (?) to Canadian Springs. This makes me sad. The grout...
I do not own a house coat. I own a blanket that I drape over myself every morning to keep myself warm. This is what I look like. This amuses Chad. I have had an obsession with blankets since I was...
Why is it that the closer we get to the end of the project that more frustrated and impatient I get? Maybe its because I know we are so close to the end I just want to finish it now? FINISH ALL THE...
At the beginning of the month, on a rather beautiful but frightfully cold Monday, I had to get my butt up at 5:30 am to trek from East Coquitlam to UBC for our Spring photo shoot. No fancy mansion...
Last Saturday we celebrated Shazzi’s early birthday by stuffing our faces at Burger Heaven. These two needed to get a room… See, I told you. I got the #6 – The Breaded Chicken, Cheddar & Mozzarella...
The tree came down today. Last week the city came by to hook up our drain to the sewer. They had to go around the tree (since the connection was right under it) and in doing so, they had to chop...
I had been putting off working on my sewing room for a long time because I didn’t know what to do with it and I didn’t want to start with out a plan. Then while shopping for wedding dresses with...
Last week it rained like nobodies business in the city of Vancouver. This was nothing new to most Vancouverites, but it brought many surprises to Chad and I. Friday morning after leaving for work I...
I went to Matt’s for dinner last night. I cooked him two types of pasta; Amatriciana (tomatoes with onions and pancetta) and a pesto made with walnuts and ricotta. It was all so good and so damn...
Despite getting less sleep then usual every night since Wednesday, I pumped myself up enough to get out of bed early and to work well ahead of time today. Thinking you have left with enough time to...
Here is the thing. I am a very boring person right now. I attempted to get Chad to go for a walk with me on Sunday but it started raining so that didn’t happen. Plus we had a list of things we had...
I put Mr. Ciavarro in charge of Valentines Day this year. What happens when you put Mr. Ciavarro in charge of Valentines Day? He takes you to a German Schnitzel Haus. Priceless. The whole time he...
Despite being quite sick this past weekend, I was able to go out on one lovely adventure. Gina had mentioned wanting to check out this baking shop in Langley called Scoop n’ Save. They have tons of...
Things have been moving slowly on the reno front. We had our counter tops and sink installed which was great because being able to use your sink and counter tops is always a good thing. I am in...
