Limited edition. Archival print. The series of phrases speaks to the art historian in me, and so does this Dusty Mirror print that I was sent from Project B. It's no secret that I love antique mirrors, old movies and decorative products. These three things come together in the Dusty Mirror limited edition archival print. How could I not find a special place to hang this print? I went to my favourite art supply/print shop and selected cream-coloured matting and a brushed silver frame, and hung ...

Totoro Art Print from RedBubble
I've been eyeing this nature print in the shape of My Neighbor Totoro character (mega Totoro—the one where you can sleep on his tummy) for ages over on Pinterest and on the RedBubble website. It's mine now—finally mine!I still haven't purchased a frame suitable for it, but it'll happen in the next month or so. I'm sure as soon as September rolls around I'll be in the mood for some re-decorating. I have just the right spot to put this print—in the dining area (where I don't actually have a dining ...
Organizing Posters and Prints Before & After Bedroom
I have a thing about hanging posters and prints on walls. Maybe it's because I've moved more times than I can remember, in my life, or that I went crazy as a pre-teen with posters on every square inch of my bedroom walls, but it's definitely something that I avoid. I've tried to get better with hanging things up on walls and displaying things more permanently, though. After all, it's not good to enter in to anything thinking that it will just be temporary/won't last. I'd just put up a few of ...
Visit the Elves Rivendell Travel by Steve Thomas Redbubble Print
I could so easily feel like I was there—in Middle Earth generally, but sometimes also Rivendell, when I lived in New Zealand. The photographic print that I received from Redbubble really brings back memories. I've been thinking back on that trip to New Zealand a lot lately, especially given the opening of the new movie The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. All things Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are on my mind for sure. This print certainly makes me feel like going back to New Zealand! Go on ...
Nataliia Ku Doodle Pattern Print Review Redbubble
The Cute Doodle Pattern sparks creativity and the imagination. I know a few women who will be mothers soon or who have recently had babies. I, personally think this and other prints from Nataliia Ku would be perfect in a nursery or child's room. ...
Happy Menocal Artist & Illustrator Feature
I first came across Happy Menocal's illustrations in the latest issue of Matchbook Magazine (it's digital and free, check it out!), but was even more interested in her work when I checked out her website. I am drawn to her watercolour-y paintings and illustrations. And custom heraldry? Are you kidding me? How cool is that? I think that would be the perfect way to start a new life with someone. ...
Love from Sweden—Bantie’s Patterned Home Décor Products
Recently exhibited at the Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair, Bantie caught my eye with their fun patterns that they use on cushions, wallpaper, and bags. Bantie also sells fabric that you can use to make curtains or whatever else you'd like. I could see myself making curtains out of this fabric, or a bedspread/duvet cover. ...

Quick Afternoon Project — Custom Designed Cork Board and Calendar for the Kitchen
As part of my Renovation Redecoration, I've been putting up new artwork on the walls, and needed to replace the calendar in the kitchen. Not wanting to put up lots of extra holes in the wall for everything that someone would be pinning up in a kitchen, like phone numbers, a calendar, coupons etc. I decided to put up a cork board. Originally, I'd looked around for framed cork boards, but they proved to be a bit pricey, even at Home Sense. I was walking around IKEA last week and came across a ...
