  • Finally a Kitchen Reveal

    The kitchen in our home is by no means large but is attached to very good proportioned dining room(which I really wanted). The layout is very good for a cooking kitchen but it needed a huge facelift. As soon as we looked at our future house in the initial walk through I thought, this would make a...
  • Chippy door makeover

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.
