This puppy’s got a roof!
The roofer was on site yesterday so we stopped by the Dreamhouse this morning to snap a quick pic of the progress - not bad for a day's work eh?
A Commuter’s Rant
ONE HOUR. From Oshawa to Pickering?? Seriously?!? Do you ever have one of those mornings where you just want to crawl back into bed & pretend it's still the weekend? Well thanks to 401 traffic, today is one of those days.
The thrill of the impulse buy…
Today I got to thinking about how those of us that are passionate about our homes can sometimes do silly and irrational things. I read this post on Apartment Therapy & it took me back to when we were buying our first home and before we had even moved in, we ran out and bought both dining and bedroom sets!
S#*t our kid is whining about
Being a parent is a tough job. Kids - especially young ones are unpredictable. One minute they're smiling, the next they're saying something hilarious, and sometimes they're just completely irrational. We came across this Tumblr today that has been blowing up all over the Internet in the last few days, and I couldn't help but laugh...like serious, tears spilling down my cheeks laugh. Mostly because I CAN SOOO RELATE TO THIS!
Team Dreamhouse: Introducing Lisa Lev Design
Happy Monday folks! We hope you had a restful weekend - ours unfortunately was filled with laundry, chores & a few of the other things we've been putting off for the last several weeks. And sadly we didn't even get through it all. Sigh... But on to more exciting things... Last week we promised that today we'd reveal our choice from the short list of interior designers we met with. So let's not waste any more time (since if you're reading this post, you already know who we chose - we kinda gave it away in the title, lol).
Interior Design: where to start?
Now that the structure is up finally, we're beginning to switch our focus to planning out the interior spaces. With having such a wide open floor plan, we figured we'd need some help defining the various spaces so that they best serve our functional needs.
All framed up!
We've walked you through the main floor, as well as the upstairs, so now we figured it's only fair to show you how it all came together from the outside.
