Well, it’s been pretty interesting renovating a Well, it’s been pretty interesting renovating a house in a pandemic...in Mexico, virtually at that – probably the most challenging undertaking I've ever experienced, off the grid cottage on a cliff with no road access aside. There’ve been some comical translations along the way (to be shared another time, over a big glass of vinho rosso) and I’ve banged my head against the figurative wall a few too many times, but it’s still been so much fun to see our sweet casa transform into a beautiful little treasure. Even overseeing from afar has kept me looking forward to better days ahead. I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of the reno and finally painting all the freshly plastered walls. No matter the loads of surprises I'm sure will be awaiting, I'm seriously excited to get back there (hopefully this year) and start the real fun: decorating.  Check out the link in my bio for highlights from our San Miguel de Allende renovation.  #micasa #Mexico #whitewalls #paint #globalstyle #renovate #design #floors #myvirtualreno #sanmigueldeallende #keeponkeepingon
After this stressful week, I’m waking earlier to After this stressful week, I’m waking earlier to take in the peace and quiet of the house. I start with yoga in the living room and this is my perspective.  The extra-large photo of Lake Huron creates a great escape from the madness...every time I look at it, I find something new in that blue-green water.   The eucalyptus branches are the last bit of fresh greenery left from the hols and I love how gnarly it’s getting. Could dried flowers be making a comeback as we watch them dry up with no easy way to get fresh ones?  Sometimes it's good to get on the ground for a different angle.  #sundaymorning #driedflowers #housemeditations #inmylivingroom #Art #photography #freshperspectives #newviews #onthehorizon #lakehuron  The Look

This winter solstice, I'd like to share my secret This winter solstice, I'd like to share my secret to easy but special gift-wrapping: Over the years, I’ve saved wallpaper remnants from my house renos, as well as the sparkly bits and ribbons from gifts I’ve received. This year, I dug into my stash and pulled out this gorgeous @galbraithandpaul paper- it looks super pretty in the powder room and makes for a personal and memorable wrap. What’s your gift wrapping choice this year?  #holiday #giftwrapping #makeitmagic #ecogiftwrap #ecofriendly #wallpaper #makeitmeaningful #wintersolstice #reuse #upcycle #recycle
It may be a stay at home holiday this year, but yo It may be a stay at home holiday this year, but you can still make it a winter wonderland. I raided the shelves and showroom at HomeSense to set up an easy-to-do dreamy front porch oasis for the audience at @cityline.  Just load up on cozy blankets and toss in a hot water bottle or two to stay warm and toasty. Lots of sparkly bits and natural greenery play up the holiday vibe - and I have to say it's a pretty cosy and magical spot out here!  Crossed fingers for one of those fluffy snow storms - so we can sip on hot toddies and take in the view.
