Confession time I’m a HUGE fan of musicals. Seriously, name any song from Annie, Sound of Music, Grease, Mama Mia or whatever, and I can sing and dance it with perfect choreography. Now, don’t go asking this introvert to perform in public, but trust me….at home in my bedroom in front of the mirror, I [...]
Mama’s Girl Now, I don’t know what thoughts go through other mothers’ minds when they find out they are going to have a little girl. I can clearly remember the moment I found out though…. Jeff and I had our scheduled ultrasound at 21 weeks to check on growth and development. Cold goopy gel, fuzzy [...]
Friday Five: a mish-mash of things to share with you all…. Mr. Berkus Ah, Twitter and blogs aplenty have been talking up a storm about Nate and his new show lately. I was one of those excited design bloggers who received an invite last week to attend a taping in NYC. After debating, humming, hawwing, [...]
Almost two years ago I closed my little home decor boutique. Partly a business decision {there was a nasty recession going on, you may have heard!}, partly a family one {Carys, the best surprise I’ve ever had , was due to arrive}, I knew without a doubt it was the right decision. But we all know that [...]
So if you are a fan of Kerrisdale Design on Facebook, you may have seen me post a link yesterday to a great candid interview with Sarah Richardson on Passion Profiles {click image to be taken to the interview}. It was such an inspiring interview that my friend Victoria from DesignTies and Edin Interiors [...]
Back In The Day I remember back in grade 11 English one of my favourite teachers Mrs. Baerg gave us an assignment….create a scrapbook of our life. All the details of what our future life would turn out like. University, our spouse, children, home, hobbies, and whatever else we wanted to include. In my book [...]
Hello friends! Today’s post is a bit of a mish mash, so bear with me as I do a little housekeeping {much prefer this kind to the real thing !} The Goods I received some lovely comments over on Brooklyn Limestone after my guest post {thank you!}, and many were wondering some of the sources for [...]
A week ago we took a Saturday morning jaunt to my friend Heather Cameron’s blueberry farm, Missing Goat. What a lovely spot! I first met Heather through my store – she would borrow products for photoshoots/magazine articles {she’s an amazing stylist for magazines}, and she very kindly took the pictures of our little store that were sent into [...]
A busy busy day it’s been thus far….wallpaper shopping, working on floorplans and design schemes for a basement {the ultimate hangout basement, can’t wait to share with you!} and a home office, and doing other not so fun things like bookeeping and reconciling transactions in my accounting software {yawwwnnn…} As I’ve been working away, I’ve [...]
A sweet reader left me a comment yesterday, Sherry at Design Indulgence. When I stopped by her blog to peek around {it’s lovely!} I came across an inspiring video she’d posted. It was too good not to share with you all {thanks Sherry!}. “I Dare You” a reading by Kelly Corrigan
Is it totally weird that this makes me want to trade in my SUV for a minivan? I laughed so hard when I saw this today {turn on your speaker volume!}: “I ride hard through the streets and the cul-de-sac, proud parent of a honour roll student, Jack” “I kiss the boo-boos, [...]
