DWELLINGS

the windows!

Windows on every exterior wall of a home I live in is essential! To see outside in every room, is a gift I treasure!

The plants I would grow in here! 😍😍😍

DWELLINGS

Some images of homes I find inspiring. If you can’t tell, I love a minimal aesthetic.

I love the pops of deep red in this home

The only green you see is the trees outside

LIFESTYLE

There’s something about the feeling of the wind in your hair/face that really fuels my energy. Have you ever tried skate boarding? Honestly, these days, roller skates are the wheels of choice but a skate board?! It’s fun and tricky. Personally, I can’t get enough…

If you live in Winnipeg, check out Scam Skate. Great folks and great service! Also, there’s a skatepark less than 2 blocks from their location on Sargent. Get a board, go for a ride.

FOOD

With the warmer weather approaching, I switch up my menu at home. I usually make soup once a week in the colder months (great meal to double up and freeze half right away). That’s October to now. Starting in May, I exchange my soup making for salad making. My kids like vegetables so, I count myself blessed!

These jarred salads are easy to make, and virtually produce no waste when packaged in an old jar. For a heartier version, replace the lettuce with pasta or do both!

Bon appétit!

Art. If you like..

Flourishing 111

Last year was tough on almost everyone in some shape or form. I, like many other folks, spent a lot of time at home and a lot of time sitting and a lot of time thinking. During the first lock down I did a great job of assessing my space and finally tackling those ‘decor jobs’ I had lingering. It felt like a sort of accomplishment, finally being able to enjoy my home.

I had some areas that needed art and like the homo sapiens that I am, I turned to the internet and fell victim to O P T I O N S! Too many options people! That’s the way of the internet, it can be a blessing and a curse! I looked at so much art. It wasn’t that great of an experience actually. It started to feel like it was impersonal and not genuine at all? I don’t know. I can’t explain it. I wasn’t loving the experience till I narrowed my search a little more. “Only focus on artists from Winnipeg.” Boom, just like that I was able to find this lovely gem!

Flourishing 111

Christie Peters, artist/designer and old shop manager, made this piece for me. The collection is so beautiful, I want three more! I just told her that I would love yellow in the piece and she took creative license. The result is incredible and to see Flourishing 111 in real life is even more rewarding! The framing is impeccable, and by the size and weight of it, I know I will have this for years to come. Thank you Christie!
