Hi there! Are you enjoying the summer so far? Hard to believe it is almost half over.<\/p>\n

(this post was started over 2 weeks ago but life got in the way!)<\/p>\n

I was away for a week in Collingwood, ON, initially for a dance competition and then we met up with my sister, kids and Mom for the rest of the week. We had beautiful weather and guess what?\u00a0 I conquered one of my fears. I went ziplining! If you know me, you know that I am terribly afraid of heights among other things so this was a huge deal for me. As my daughter says, YOLO! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>via Pinterest<\/a><\/p>\n

Make sure you follow me here<\/a> to see some personal photos that I don’t necessarily share on the blog as well as some snippets of my work,<\/p>\n

1) Like these two bedrooms I worked on.<\/p>\n

\"Vanessa

 <\/p>\n

\"Vanessa

I will be getting them both professionally photographed soon.<\/p>\n

2) Usually one of the first things that come up when working with a client on a space is to address the dreaded popcorn ceiling if there is one. Eliminating it is a messy job but so well worth it. I usually recommend a trades person to clients but if you feel so inclined to do yourself, Kate has a how-to<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3) I agree that the Pin of the week<\/a> is pretty perfect.<\/p>\n

4) Want to jazz up your Ikea furniture? Read this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0 I loved this courtyard garden when I saw it in House & Home. Take a tour of it here<\/a> and check out the designer’s blog here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6) I’m thinking of using this gorgeous tile from Walker Zanger<\/a> for my backsplash. I love the colour, that it’s handmade and you can never go wrong with a 3×6 subway tile. But I’m thinking I should choose the off-white colourway to play it safe. Thoughts? Would you go for it?<\/p>\n

Have a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
