what’s emory wearing wednesday

By 23 Comments

emory is turning into quite the model.
i am continually amazed by the poses she comes up with on her own!
even my husband had a hard time believing that i did not pose her, i guess she just likes the camera!
this week she is wearing the perfect outfit to match her sassiness.
a leopard cardigan from joe fresh style ($12.00), pink long sleeve from joe fresh style ($10.00), skinny jeans from gap $(24.00), gold ballet flats from joe fresh style ($12.00), and a pink rosette from forever 21 ($2.00)!




I wish joe fresh style would come to the united states.
lucky canadians.

thrifty tuesdays: $5.00 bench from the dump

By 33 Comments

my sister recently purchased this bench for $5.00 from her local salvage yard.
i think it looks perfect at the end of her bed.
She is considering upholstering it but i love it as is.
what do you think?

she also purchased this dresser from her local classifieds.
a little paint and new hardware and it looks amazing.

the frames above the dresser came from the salvage yard as well!

i love the way her bedroom is turning out.
thrifty and beautiful.

online design: coxford condo

By 33 Comments

last august my good friend jill, from calgary, asked me to help with her condo.
she had already purchased the sofa, chair, ottoman, and tv stand but needed help completing the look.
we successfully completed the project through my online design service (go here to see the design).
since i am currently visiting calgary i had the chance to see the finished product myself.
i couldn’t be happier with the results!
since i was designing the room online, i had her send me a photos of her space, measurements of her furniture, and a budget.


the rug, drapery, and throw pillows are from ikea.


i found this dresser while browsing through the local classifieds.
i knew it would be the perfect console for her space.
she purchased the dresser, a high boy, and a mirror for $75.00!
what a find

jill previously owned the couture prints, we simply added some of her father’s photography.


i found the round mirror on her local classifieds for $10.00.
the highboy was part of the dresser set and it fit perfectly beside the television.

not only is the highboy pleasing to the eye, it is a much needed additional storage space.

i think jill is ready to host a party, what do you think?
happy friday 🙂
