Who knew that buying a tea shelf half way across the world would spark an entire room make over? I did. Welcome to part one of our tea room makeover where we turn this neglected area into an actual space people want to sit in. Today we created a mood board with our tea cabinet as the star and started lime washing our walls. It created the perfect wabi sabi backdrop for a relaxing and cozy sitting area. I can’t wait for part two where we mount some floating shelves and style it with all our vintage tea cups and collected pottery! 🔗 Looking for links?

“Millennial grey is a trauma response to the colourful 90’s home decorating show” Anyone else being fed snippets of “Decorating Cents” on their FYP?! This is a comment I keep reading and I can’t help but think it might be true for me. But to be fair, most tea rooms are pretty brown and beige so here we are. I promise I’m working on incorporating colour to the rest of the house though! 🔗Looking for sources?

I hacked our bed to turn it into the canopy bed I’ve been dreaming about. It’s completely transformed the vibe of our bedroom and the best part is, I can change it up so easily! I had a few people suggest changing out the curtains to something lighter so I thought I’d give it a try. What do you think? I feel like it ties in better with the Secret Garden dressing room we made over last year. But now I think we need to paint this room. I’ve got a colour in mind but I’m curious to know what you’d pick. Looking for sources to turn your bed into a canopy bed too?

Replying to @Mee2z2z Final reveal! Nobody ever sat in this room until we gave it a makeover! The layout wasn’t great for conversation so we reimagined it and turned this room into a tea room. The two Wayne armchairs look great from every angle and brought in the warmth I was craving. And the Adams love seat was the perfect way to create an intentional and cozy space. I love how this living room makeover turned out and people actually want to hang out in here now! 🔗 Looking for links?

Replying to @justcallmekerr Don’t let your luggage space hold you back from your full shopping potential. Here’s how you can ship things home from Japan. It cost ¥9000 to ship 30lbs back to Canada and it arrived a month later. It was cheaper than buying an extra luggage and paying to check an additional bag! Save this for your next Japan travel or send it to a friend who can use this tip. #travelhacks #japantravel #japantraveltips #traveltips #traveltip #japan #visitjapan #shopping

This viral ghost painting is so easy to recreate! I bought most of my supplies at the dollar store and if you don’t have spackle on hand, you can mix your paint with baking powder for a thick painting consistency. My number one tip for this craft is to start smearing your ghosts from top to bottom. Make sure to separate the ghost smears and not clump them together when you’re going to give clear definition of their shapes. This was so fun and easy to do! #halloweendecor #halloweendiy #halloweencraft #halloweencrafts #ghostart #diycraft

Do you know the lore that is Gus Gus? He’s been around for 3 years and every time we renovate or makeover a room, he also gets a new space. So far he has a kitchen, laundry room, bathroom and now a tea shop. I can’t wait for him to get a bedroom. (Because we need a makeover in there asap. You should see it now 🫣) #justforfun #maileg #miniature #mini #miniworld #minifood #decoratewithme

Only 10 more Fridays until fall! I’m more excited than normal for this cozy feeling to come back in full force. Maybe it’s cause I’m getting older or maybe it’s crazy heat wave but I am definitely looking forward to autumn this year.
