I’ve Missed You…Here’s our Hallway Update

It’s HAY! 🌾🌾 OK, let’s do a quick backs 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 m 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?

This week on our backyard rehab series, we tackled one of the most unloved corners of our property and gave it a total glow-up—just in time for hosting guests this weekend. ⁠

We’ve been dreaming of a fire pit area that feels relaxed, a little coastal, and totally us… so we teamed up with @ikeahfx to bring that vision to life. And let’s just say—she’s officially no longer just a former parking lot. 🔥⁠

When we moved in, the windows were stuck shut, dra When we moved in, the windows were stuck shut, drafty, and clouded over — very ‘90s and not in a good way. Swapping them out has been one of the quietest but most meaningful changes. Fresh air, natural light, and views that finally feel like part of the home.

We went with @jeldwencanada JWC8500 series in casement style and are so very happy. On these hot summer days, we noticed a huge difference in the heat of the sun, not transferring into the house as much as the old windows let in. Perfect for this old girl without air conditioning.

This vintage herbarium wall has my whole heart. Each flower and herb was picked from our own yard—tiny hands helping mine—then pressed and framed to create something meaningful and timeless. ✨

I used vintage-inspired paper, white photo mats, and beautiful frames from @oppositewall to bring it all together. A little love, a little nature, and now a whole lot of charm on our walls. 🌼

Right now, @oppositewall has up to 50% off summer sale to help you with your own gallery wall. Use Code KATIE.

Our home may be full of muddy boots, pet hair, and Our home may be full of muddy boots, pet hair, and the occasional mystery crumb… but the Dreame X40 Ultra handles it all like a pro. ✨

It lifts the mop when it senses carpet (genius), reaches deep into corners with MopExtend and SideReach, and suctions with a wild 12,000 PA of power. It maps the house on its own, cleans with hot water, dries its own mop heads, and self-empties.

Basically, it’s doing more cleaning than I am—and it’s not complaining about it. 🫶

I grew up, loving every page of magazines, like Martha Stewart, Victoria, Country Home, and all the others that truly prioritized cosy living. Mix that with the coastal and antique style of the South Shore, shades like these were always the goal. I finally found an affordable version from @neutralcurtains.
