Stay tuned...

I have been busy with lots of orders for my custom party decor which you can find here . I have also been working on some great new features for WALLPAPER, including store tours with a great up and coming store on Queen Street East called UP TO YOU, and a great new Canadian Jewellery designer L'ORO accessories.

So stay tuned for some fun new posts coming soon,

Here is a little sneak peek to hold you all over...

Bryan Boone

Apartment Therapy LA has the house tour of Bryan Boone. I love how Bryan took such a small compact,yet open concept space and made it very cozy and livable. He broke up his sleeping, living and eating quarters  by adding credenza and sideboards as well as area rugs to define each space individually.

I love his aesthtic, mixing mostly whites with bold pops of colour and graphic print, and even mixing and matching woods. Add to that a mish mash of vintage and big box purchases, and fun with scale to create a cohesive, comfortable and chic living space. Love it!

Here are some of my favourites:

No man is an island...

I am in the brain storming and colour choosing process of my kitchen reno. Besides refacing all of my 26 cabinets, drawers and pantry, I also need seating options for a small bungalow eat in kitchen. I don't have a ton of space so I thought that an island would work, as it is counter height and would free up the much needed floor space in the kitchen.

I sourced a lot of places in hopes of having an island ready made to use, but that costs a lot of $$$$ my friends, and Christmas is around the corner...you see my point? So after hours and hours of surfing the net I decided I am going to build one!

Okay I know I love any DIY as much as the next person, but this is a tad different, this invloves measurements and cutting, I mean at least I like the painting part of it! Me and measurements are not friends, we never have been.

But I can't help think with a little patience I can have something like this when all is said and done, and I've thrown the last tape measure across the room!

Do you guys think I am capable of such great design, how hard can it be right? ( Liz bites her lip in nervous laughter)

The Paperie

I've added a few more toppers to my etsy shop. I like these ones, they are vintage inspired and there are a couple with birds, nests and topiary trees.

Christmas updates...

Recently I've been busy as a bee decorating for the holidays, my tree is up and the smell of cinnamon sticks is in the air. I added a home made paper garland to my mirror above the sideboard. What do you all think?

If you haven't already... check out my etsy shop I have lots of great cupcake toppers and garlands.

Cupcake Toppers for sale

At my recent Halloween party I made several spooky cupcakes and I used my own homemade cupcake toppers on them. They went over so well with guests that it urged me to sell some of them on Etsy. So here they are listed in my Etsy shop, please check them out... I also do custom orders for kid's parties, special occassions, you name it! I plan on doing some more for New Years and Valentine's...can't wait. Let me know what you all think?
