This Week's SWEET DEAL!


Wall Decals~ Dollarama


I'm always looking for creative ways to add a little character to my home without spending too much money. On one of my shopping trips to Homesense, I came across some beautiful wall decals, the prices ranged from $9.99-$16.99 each. I placed a couple into my cart and continued shopping. By the time I got to the cash register to pay for my purchases I decided I might have over done it with some "impulse" items (I tend to do that alot). So I decided to put the decals back on the shelf and think it over before I purchased yet another thing that I really have no place for. I am sooo glad I did because a few days later at my fave store Dollarama, I came across a whole section of beautiful wall decals. Their selection was amazing! They had a wide variety to choose from and it was tough for me to choose just 1, so I chose 5! They were $2 each, at that price you can not go wrong!

As soon as I got home, I found the perfect areas to place three of them. I think they look great and add some character to an otherwise plain wall. The unfortunate part is I'm moving in a month and half and will have to leave these behind...good thing I bought extras:)




Thanks for reading! xoxox

Our Home in the Suburbs

Currently we live in an 1800 sq ft detached 2 story  house. It is very modern and cozy at the same time. I am quite impressed (if I do say so myself) with the furniture and decor selection. We purchased this house directly from the builder (Aspen Ridge) and moved in about a year and a half later. During that time I spent alot of time watching HGTV, gathering ideas to help make our home beautiful. By the time we moved in I  already had the vision for my kitchen, family room and powder room. Everything came together  so easily and within the first few months my main floor was complete.



My family room- color scheme is neutrals (Brown, beige, white and grey) with a pop of blue (turquoise, aqua)




 I have a small addiction to wall decals! I find they add some interest to an otherwise plain wall. This one was only $2.00 purchased at my go to store...DOLLARAMA!

 This is our Fur Baby, Diesel...doing what he does best> relaxing! We got him in May 2008 and he has been an amazing addition to our little family.
