  • Can we make that?

    It never fazes me that maybe some projects are too hard to handle. I am always turning to my poor husband asking "Can we do that?"The wooden sign in my living room makeover was no exception. Trevor is slightly short on time lately so I roped my Dad into it. He is used to these shenanigans because...

Blogging Since 2015

This blog is written by Meg and includes tales of the renovations/ decor changes of her home and the shop she owns in Fonthill, Ontario. It goes back many years, much before the shop was born.

If you are new here, welcome! We are glad you stopped by.
