Home Décor that Inspires Adventure

by Tazim Damji

home decor adventures

I love to surround myself with things that have positive messages, inspire me to reach for my goals and install a sense of adventure in my life. On top of having vision boards, inspiring quotes and pictures around my home, I have found that my latest home décor addition–stone coasters from Zazzle.com–inspires adventure. Every time I put down or pick up a cup or glass from atop one of the 4 stone coasters I have, I see something that symbolizes freedom and adventure (to me): hot air balloons. ...

CableKeeps: Nice, Tidy Cable Organizers

CableKeeps

Nice, organized cords and chargers for my devices. Anything that will make cords look better and keep things a bit more organized is a huge improvement in my mind.

With CableKeeps you'll know exactly which adaptor to pull out from the wall or your bag. They are colourful, fun, awesome ways to stay organized.  ...

Add a Splash of Colour for Spring

by Tazim Damji

Add a Splash of Colour for Spring

A bold, bright vase to welcome the sunshine.  Vancouver in the winter is grey upon grey—lots of clouds, rain and buildings that have the required shade of glass, so that nothing distracts from the views of nature. When I am at home, I like to be able to glance at bright, colourful decorative items in order to cheer myself up. Luckily, the warmer months are here and the beautiful green vase I recently received brings the colour of the fresh grass and leaves on the trees indoors. I keep moving ...

Decorative Curtains for a Seasonal Décor Change

by Tazim Damji

decorative curtains

I've long talked about ways that you can quickly and inexpensively change up your décor seasonally. I've also shared ideas on how to create a home-y look to your place, even if you're just renting. One of my favourite ways to accomplish both of my tips is to hang curtains. Think about it — whether your windows are large or small, they take up a fair amount of wall space, meaning you end up seeing your window coverings all the time. Boring venetian, horizontal or roman blinds are hardly worthy ...

One of the characters, Jenny, has a great sense of style—both personally, and also for her home. Jenny has bright red hair, and bright everything else.  ...
