Final Projects

Summer is high season for family in my house, we have made plans for  places to travel to. This Saturday we will be heading to Alberta, then home again. Next week we will be sturgeon fishing in Oregon at the Columbia river, drive around the 101 hwy for a scenic view and a picnic day at mount rainier in Washington. Summers are short-lived here in Vancouver, my family & myself makes the most of it, when winter comes, for sure we hibernate.

No place like home~

Life at home

   bedrooms

throw open the doors, and let in the light. Make your home a happy gathering spot, a family refuge, a personal exclamation- relax!

“Everything in my house means something to me for its beauty, functionality, or maybe a personal attachment, but don't get me wrong coz' I can easily give it up” 

I am excited to tell you that I have finished 4 of my projects. My daughter is so happy to see the finished projects for her bedroom. I spent so many hours and days stripping paint, sanding and painting, then polishing the furniture. Then decorating her room and taking the image for a final look and presto it’s here.

I’ve done my projects with care & love; my projects are pretty streamlined at this point. Everything in my house means something to me, and it will travel with me in some capacity wherever I go. I’m far too sentimental to ever start again from scratch.”

modern touches enliven the traditional home.
