{Happy Canada Day!}


For me there's nothing more Canadian than a moose. Every time I see a big moosey face, it makes me so happy! Happy Canada day everyone!

{Tranquility}

 The cheerful chickies of Edgewood Farm

Summer flowers 

This is where I work, at a beautiful converted dairy barn which is now a home and lifestyle boutique. Each workday begins with the crow of the rooster, hens softly clucking as they root around in the garden, the dogs coming to greet me with their silly dog grins. The flower gardens and soft breezes fill me with tranquility. Time to switch on the lights and turn on the easy summer music, water the flowers in the shop and wait for another beautiful day to unfold. I love my work, the people I work for are the kindest, most lovely couple, I still pinch myself thinking "this isn't work, this is wonderful!". Happy Weekend!

{Kitchen Love}

They come in so many shapes and sizes......speaking to our sense of home and comfort. Enchanting, petite kitchens for one or two are my favorite. Some how they seem more human in scale than those echoing kitchens found in large houses - welcoming, like your favorite pair of jeans. Smaller kitchens challenge you to make the best use of space, which often brings out so much character, and you love it all the more. It encourages you curate your objects, distilling your things down to only the functional, loved and beautiful. Simply lovely!

{Let's Make Believe}

 
 


This is my idea of a perfect London apartment. I love each of the rooms for their warmth and great layers, classic finishes and character. They feel lived in, something I believe is so essential in good design, because it makes the people who live there feel at home. Happy Monday!

{Snug Saturday}


Looking forward to late mornings, homemade breakfasts and waking up to birds chirping in the sunshine. I hope this weekend restores your soul and calms your mind.

{Flowers for Friday}

A pretty remnant of flowers from a larger bouquet, these pink blooms are winking in the sunlight on my kitchen window sill.

{You've Always Been My Favorite}



Kitchens, maybe my favorite room in the house. This one in particular has all of the magical elements- marble, white mill work, touches of brass, yummy wood island and a groovy light fixture. Sweet perfection.
