Declutter Challenge Jan 7 - Clean off kitchen counters. Hopefully this is an easy task for everyone. I removed all items, washed the counters, backsplash & cabinets and finally put away Hubs’ meat grinder which has been taking up valuable counter space. Victory is mine!

Declutter Challenge Jan 6 - Organize & discard expired spices. I don’t have an actual spice drawer... our spices co-mingle with the pans. I discarded unused & expired spices and added a basket for smaller spices to keep them corralled. This task was a little light so I went overboard and cleaned & organized all three cabinet drawers!

Here's my Tuesday check in which includes tasks for Jan 6 & 7. We're almost through the first week... the worst of which was cleaning out the fridge & pantry! Woot! My next video check in will be on Thursday. How is your decluttering going?

Declutter Challenge Jan 5 - Empty & organize junk drawer(s). I’m grateful I only have one junk drawer. I took out everything & managed to piece Dollar Store baskets together to fit in the entire drawer! Winning! Share a photo of your organized drawer(s).

Declutter Challenge Jan 4 - Clean out your pantry. We don’t have a walk-in pantry so when we renovated our kitchen 10 years ago I implemented a container system for dry goods which keeps everything organized & eliminates packaging. For this task I discarded anything expired, removed everything and cleaned the cabinets & containers. I also replaced some labels & added baskets to corral stuff. When you’re decluttering think about how you can organize things in a better way bas...ed on how you use items. I have IKEA shelf liner in all my cabinets. You can cut it to fit, it saves wear & tear on surfaces plus it’s easy to wipe clean. If you decide to use containers make sure to add labels. Warning... you might become obsessed & want to label everything! Also baskets from the Dollar Store are handy for storage & come in all sizes. Wait til you see my junk drawer tomorrow!

It’s been a hard year for everyone. Finn’s constant companionship is helping me get through 2020 both emotionally & physically. It’s a good thing he loves walks, running & cuddles. Dog therapy is the best therapy! . . . .... . #dogmom #dogmomlife #dogsmomofinstagram #cdm #crazydogmom #falldecor #fallvibes #emotionalsupportdog #designer #designerdog #dogtherapyisthebesttherapy #dogtherapy See more

Sometimes I do commercial design... this office started with a text from a client. She was in Turkey & fell in love with this rug. We used the rug as inspiration for the office design. These awesome chairs from @bebitalia added the perfect pop of colour & they are super comfy! Check out my mood board & the wall colour before we changed it to Iceberg by @benjaminmoore

Taking in every ounce of nice weather Mother Nature has to offer this September. Happy fall yall!

Happy International Dog Day to our sweet Finn who always steals the shot! We love his sweet soul . . . .... . #finnfriday #nationaldogday #internationaldogday #photobomb #labradorretriever #yellowlab #yellowlabsofinstagram #sweetsoul #crazydogmom #furbaby #furchild See more

A little something fun to make this weekend... Winesicles! Cheers!

In times like these Im so happy we have our own bar! Its 5 oclock somewhere right?

Our tiny bungalow is open concept so naturally you cant Refresh the Living Room & not spruce up the Dining Room! Hubs has renovated our house many times over including designing & building our table & railing with his loving hands. Hes so talented! Did I mention hes also a fabulous chef? Yup, Im a lucky gal! Many thanks to @chateaulightingyeg for our Kichler Aura chandelier. We absolutely love it!

Since we opted not to install a mantel over our new fireplace, this cabinet is the perfect place to display my ever changing decor!

Finns always wandering into the perfect shot but I wouldnt have it any other way. Hes the best dog model!

We wanted to modernize our living room & this hidden cabinet turned out awesome! Hubs took an @ikeacanada PAX cabinet and built it flush with the wall & painted the door and wall in our new colour @benjaminmoore Chantilly Lace. The beauty is it holds all our electronics, blankets & has extra storage!

Every Refresh needs a Wish List. I wanted a gas linear fireplace, built in cabinet for electronics, larger TV, lighting, updated paint colour & new decor. Im so lucky cause Hubs is a professional painter & contractor. As always, he made sure to check all the boxes on my Wish List! @maisonmorocco @eq3 @urbanbarn ... @heatnglofireplaces See more

Hubs & I spent 2019 giving our house a Refresh. Im grateful we finished our Dreamy Living Room before quarantine. We are loving our cocoon. Check out the before & our fireplace makeover! @maisonmorocco @urbanbarn @eq3

Instead of using the word isolation or quarantine Im referring to this time in my life as cocooning. Thank you @blondesovereign for the rephrase. So if youre looking for me Ill be cocooning at home with my faux foliage!

With all this time at home styling your coffee table for Spring is the perfect distraction! Check my last post to see mine. Whats on your coffee table?

Since were all stuck at home & home is where the heart is... check out my Designer Tips for Styling Your Coffee Table! 1. Balance Your Vignette - vary the scale of items, use books or magazines for height & group like objects together 2. Swap Out Seasonal Decor - its Spring... add life with real or faux flowers or plants... 3. Make a Focal Point - spark conversation with a standout piece or quirky item & choose decor that plays off your coffee table 4. Mix Shapes, Textures & Heights - create interest, use items large enough so they dont disappear & vary the heights of items 5. Group Items in a Tray - gives structure & symmetry & easy to remove if you need to clear the table 6. Composition - connect items through style, shape, colour or theme, accessorize in odd numbers & consider the vignette from every angle of the room 7. Have fun styling! @styleathome
