Vanities Just For Her

Every girl (and woman) should love their bathroom.

For men the bathroom can tend to be just another necessary room in the home to clean up after a long day at work or to get ready in the morning, but for women it is so much more. A woman`s bathroom can be an escape from the stresses of everyday life and routine, a place to come to and unwind: a sanctuary.

This is why a bathroom must be decorated tastefully and in a way that makes you want to stay there to relax and escape. A space you will love, and not consider as "just another room".  So why not design your bathroom in a way that reflects you and your personality?

This bathroom for example is perfect for the girly girl, or the woman who loves pink. Using bright and fun colours that reflect you and your personality to paint your vanity like this, while keeping other aspects of the room neutral (if not completely white like you see here) is a great way top liven up your bathroom and add interest.

I can see this as a prefect bathroom for a little girl. Or change up the colour and paint the vanity turquoise, sky blue, or purple. There are so many possibilities.

Let Patio Season Begin

It's the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada. Across the country there are hundreds of thousands of people relaxing on patios enjoying the warm weather, and  attending backyard BBQs.

This made me think about how far we've come with the design of backyards and patios in the last 10 years or so. Look at these neat patio sets:

Isn't this lounge set to die for? So cozy looking. I would love to cuddle up on this on a summer afternoon to watch the sun set.

This cocktail set is so trendy with it's bright pops of colour and geometric lines. Cocktail hour poolside just got more interesting.

The perfect set up: comfy couch with fire pit right off the beach. Can you imagine hanging out with friends with a cool drink in hand, or roasting marshmallows and making smores by the fire?

Have space limitations on your deck or patio, but still want a cute dining set? Problem solved with this bright and compact dining set, with benches that slide perfectly under the table.

I love all of these patio sets, and cannot wait until I have a house with a backyard so that I can design and have a beautiful backyard patio.

Take Care,
