No need to worry! I recently shared a first glimpse of my holiday decorating progress and I’m so happy to hear that many of you enjoyed the Nordic inspired design! Despite my love for the simplicity and minimalism that the Nordic style offered, I had a change of heart and couldn’t wait to unleash the full Canadian Christmas spirit in me!
The holiday season – it truly is the best time of the year. There is something magical about the festive season despite the cold! Aside from shopping for gifts (and shopping for myself), another to-do for this holiday season is to dress our new home with a bundle of holiday spirit. The BF plans on taking me tree shopping this year, which I’m super excited about. This was never a tradition in my family, but certainly one that we want to start for ours!
I would describe my holiday home décor style as “Country Chic”. I love infusing a tinge of country and vintage vibe into our home at any time of the year. It makes an urban home feel warm and cozy. To achieve the “Country Chic” vibe, consider a few of these items: a fur or chenille throw; birch wrapped candles or knitted candles; a large vintage or handmade sign and a wooden or slate cheese board.
Dreaming of the day until our home office will finally be completed (we’re staring this weekend)! In the mean-time, compiling and pinning a number of noteworthy office supplies that is sure to encourage creativity. I mean let’s face it, pretty things just help that much more, right?
I’ve always wanted a bar cart to hold all the libation for our guests. The condo was too crowded to fit a bar cart. I was super excited that we found just the perfect nook for a bar cart in the new home. Though I now had the perfect spot for a party cart, I was faced with two challenges. First, finding something that was slim enough for the ‘nook’ and second, I wasn’t looking to spend a few hundreds of dollars. After doing some research online and following the footsteps of other expert DIY-ers (love this and this option), I decided to tackle a DIY Gold Bar Cart/Ikea hack.
I must say, $40 got me a long way and I am absolutely 100% satisfied with my DIY Gold Bar Cart, Ikea makeover.
