Hollywood Glamour Bedroom Décor

by Tazim Damji

hollywood glamour

When my parents bought their first home, and I was just in high school, I dreamt of decorating my bedroom in a 'Hollywood Glamour'/ movie theatre theme. I didn't get very far, though—I just ended up painting my walls dark purple, and hanging up large posters of my favourite movies in silver frames. This look is much more sophisticated, with beautiful wallpaper (preferably with a bit of shimmer to it), and the best vanity mirrors. ...

Celebrate Loved Ones with a Fall Harvest Dinner

by Tazim Damji

fall centrepiece

During the warm months of the year, I like to go for walks with my loved ones—along the seawall, in forested parks, and on hiking trails—but when it starts to get colder out, I like to have them close-by as we enjoy a meal together. Rather than go out to a crowded restaurant, I prefer to put something together in my home and relax while I enjoy the company of my friends and family. To me, fall is all about relaxing, enjoying the abundance of nature, and celebrating with gratitude for the loved ...

fall wreath DIY ideas for decor

What a fun weekend project! You can create DIY fall wreaths this weekend with the kids, a friend, or by yourself.

Aren't DIY projects a fun way to celebrate a new season?Hopefully, some of you will be creating fall wreaths this ...

I’m Feeling Inspired

by Tazim Damji

inspired quote

Are changes in circumstances blessings in disguise? Well, they can be. Sometimes, I feel like too much of the same thing makes me feel uninspired, restless and like I'm not going anywhere. That's just how I felt all those years when I was in university. I just felt like I was never going to graduate! Things have been changing for me and my life more often than I have time to record, and while most of those changes can be seen as negative or stressful, they are also opportunities. I'm feeling ...

I've been reading this blog for years, though I somehow recently forgot about it. I love the general look of the blog and how well it integrates ...

Swedish Winter Decorating Ideas

by Tazim Damji

swedish winter sweet paul

Rather than the typical red and green decorations this time of year, I prefer the look of the more general winter look, with evergreen trees, moose, and everything else. Today is St. Lucia Day, which is celebrated in Sweden as the beginning of the Christmas season in Scandinavia, and it is meant to bring hope and light during the long winter days. Traditionally, it is celebrated with the eldest female child wearing white while serving baked goods and warm drinks to members of the family.  ...

Glam Cabin Decor Look Ideas

by Tazim Damji

Pine sap Candle

Winter is coming, and so is the holiday season. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to fantasize about sitting by the fire and curling up with a good book, or having a few close friends over to enjoy a relaxing meal and conversation. Normally, the first things that would come to mind would be plaids, checkered prints, and red and green colours. Instead of the conventional cabin look, I've put together some ideas for a more glam cabin décor: ...
