  • We painted our wood floor.

    We did it.  Oh yes we did. We painted our front hall wood floor and I am in love. Now, before we pitch fork the lady painting the wood floor, a little bit of back story to how this decision came to be. When we moved into our house we tore out the horrid broken peach tile flooring in our front h...
  • When cleaning becomes rearranging and... still on team open shelves.

    It's inevitable for the home decor set that when you start to clean something, rearranging mild or severe becomes a part of the equation.

My finished-ness with being cooped up inside and a whole mess of new product arriving to start the nex...

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. It is like one of those stacking dolls. It started with a couple of kids buying their forever home. It snowballed into renovations, which turned into garage shows and then a store. If you are new here, welcome! We are glad you stopped by.
