Our sweet old farmhouse has worn many coats of pai

Our sweet old farmhouse has worn many coats of paint over the years, but this last one had seen better days—chipping, flaking, and leaving the whole place looking a little tired.

This summer we rolled up our sleeves and gave it the refresh it deserved. We scraped, sanded, and prepped every inch before painting by hand and with the help of a sprayer one of our amazing followers so kindly lent us.

We chose Antique White by @behrpaint for the exterior—a soft, timeless shade that instantly brightened the siding while still feeling true to the age of the house. And while the paint was drying, we also refinished our old bench with BEHR Semi-Transparent Exterior Stain in Cedar, which brought out such a warm, rich tone.

Now, with fresh paint and little details brought back to life, our farmhouse feels like it’s glowing again-holding onto its history but ready for many more years ahead. ✨

Our favorite season is here with Sweata weatha and soon to be bright leaves surrounding us!

My fav moments of the last few years are getting me excited for the weeks to come!

✨ Before & After ✨
Aubrey’s room feels like a whole new space thanks to our new JELD-WEN Canada windows. Not only do they brighten the room and frame the view, but they also open with ease to let in that fresh Nova Scotia air 🌿.

It’s amazing what a difference quality windows can make—more light, better function, and a timeless look that suits our farmhouse perfectly.

#ad Turning our upstairs hall into a cozy office nook was easier (and more affordable) than I expected — thanks to Walmart.ca. From the comfy swivel dining chair to the sculptural lamp and warm decor touches, I was able to create a hardworking space that still feels like home.

Proof that quality and budget-friendly can absolutely go hand in hand. @walmartcanada #walmartcanada #founditwalmart #cozyworkspace #hallwayoffice

Every big dream starts with a good night’s sleep

Every big dream starts with a good night’s sleep. That’s why I’m so excited to share that Endy has just launched their very first kids’ collection, Endy Petit.

We’ve trusted Endy for years in our home, and now my daughter gets the same comfort I’ve always loved, made just for kids. We chose the Endy Petit Mattress, Endy Protection Set including a waterproof mattress and pillow protectors to keep everything fresh and clean, and the Endy Petit Pillows.

I love knowing she’s resting on a mattress made just for her, and that she gets to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to shine.

Shop the new Endy Petit collection now at endy.com

This summer my youngest and I can’t do dairy, so the Ninja Creami has been our MVP. 🍦💜 Our local ice cream shop makes an amazing blueberry vegan scoop, and we wanted to try it at home—here’s exactly how we did it!

INGREDIENTS (makes 2 Creami pints)
• 1 cup raw cashews (boil 15 min, drain)
• 1 can (13.5–14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• ½ cup white sugar (to taste)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 1–2 tsp lemon juice (brightens)
• Optional: 1 Tbsp vodka (helps keep it scoopable)

STEPS
1. Blueberry compote: In a small pot, cook blueberries with 2–3 Tbsp of the sugar over medium heat until they burst and get jammy (about 5 minutes). Cool completely.
2. Blend base: In a high-speed blender add boiled cashews, coconut milk, remaining sugar, vanilla, salt (and lemon/vodka if using). Blend until ultra-smooth and creamy.
3. Fold: Stir in the cooled blueberry compote. For pretty swirls, don’t over-mix.
4. Freeze: Divide between two Ninja Creami pints (fill only to the max line). Snap on lids and freeze upright 24 hours.
5. First spin: Remove from freezer, install in the Creami, and run Lite Ice Cream (or Sorbet on some models).
6. Re-spin: If crumbly, add 1–2 Tbsp coconut milk down the center and Re-Spin once or twice until creamy.
7. Scoop & enjoy: Swirl in a spoonful of extra compote if you saved some. Serve immediately or refreeze 10–15 minutes for firmer scoops.

Notes: Maple syrup works too (reduce slightly for sweetness). Want it nut-free? Skip cashews and use 1 can coconut milk + ½ can coconut cream.

Save this for summer treat nights! Tag me if you try it. 💫

It’s HAY! 🌾🌾

OK, let’s do a quick backstory! In October, we ordered the cabinets for our laundry room after a full 10 months of gutting and renovating this room from an old 1970s plywood kitchen to our mudroom and laundry room. Because the room is north west facing it’s always dark. We decided to play on that darkness by doing a greyish brown cabinet. The problem is, it just made the space feel even darker and not the greatest way.

It’s OK to make mistakes when you’re designing a space. Especially if you’re completely changing the use of a space. After living in this day in and day out, we realized it needed to be bright! Not dark. Since April I have been wanting to utilize the color Hay by @farrowandball in this space and this past week I finally dove in, not caring anymore what people may think of changing it so soon.

Thanks to @maudhomeinteriors for shipping @farrowandball paint in Canada, I was able to get my hands on their Modern Eggshell which is perfect for cabinets.

Now the big question, the black church pew needs to be painted….what color?!?

We got new sofas!

well, actually, we got them a month ago but wanted to test them out against our family of five dog and cats before we truly did a recommendation.

Obviously, we love them. This is our second time using Canadian made family owned @kavuus. We had a sofa and chairs at our last house and now have these stunning sofas in this house.

Story time:
Poppy decided to rearrange our old sectional at New Year’s into a conversation style. We lived for five months with the sectional broken up into two sections facing each other (it wasn’t designed to really do this) so we decided it was finally time to order proper furniture that suited the layout she came up with and worked so well for our family.

Why we love @kavuus is that each piece of furniture is completely customizable from the fabric you use, to the depth and firmness of the cushions, and they think of every detail like clips to keep the bottom cushion onto the frame.

what do you think? Do you love them as much as we do?
