lighting solutions

This is amazing. It's magnetic. It's a light. & It's pretty looking.

The little ball that's hanging from the bottom is how you turn it on, and then it just hangs there magnetically.

Then you just take the ball and place it on the side of the lamp, and that turns it off! So Cool!

To see a little video of how it really works, check out Constance Guissett's website here.

e is for entertainment unit

You would think that with a step father that has a custom furniture company that one would be able to get the perfect entertainment unit, right? Well I guess all it takes is asking said step father to see if he's busy or not...


This is a good one. I like how they tv doesn't really look like a tv, I mean at first glance it just looks like it is some black picture on the wall. I like that.


I'm not sure I'm really a huge fan of this one, I don't like how they have the electronics so on display.

Again, this is a favorite of mine, the way that they've made the tv blend into the whole wall area. It's a winner in my books folks!

This one is perfect, right down to the globes and star, see, stars have been my "thing" since middle school, and I always wanted to have a collection of globes, but alas, I've only ever collected...one. This room is how I dream of having my cottage decorated one day. And I say cottage, even though I don't have one yet, I just know that i will have one. I even have a wicker chair exactly like that one already.

d is for dusting

Here's a question: When do normal people find the time to dust? I was just looking at a bunch of house tours and when there's a close up of these peoples table tops there is absolutely no dust at all. I mean, sure if you know your house is going to be published on the interweb, then you clean like mad for two days prior, but seriously are these people's homes this clean all the time?

dream home

I was just looking at apartment therapy and stumbled across my potential new favorite dream house. It is the most amazing house I have seen in a very long time, complete with amazing views and pool in the backyard! Love it! Check out the rest of the house tour here.

photographia

My dad is a pretty incredible photographer and filmmaker. Not that I'm bias or anything, but his and my step mother's latest documentary film, NORM is nominated for a Gemini Award this year!
Here are a couple of his shots from our summer trip to New Brunswick to visit my grandparents.
