When I was designing our home, I wanted the space to be bright, warm and inviting. I wanted this to be a place where friends and family would want to gather throughout the seasons. I love entertaining but I haven’t been able to host much because our living quarters were always a bit tight, plus […]

The question I get asked very often is, in a digital age how come you’re still shooting film. My motherhood work is mostly shot on film with the exception of some digital backups. I love film and I can spend hours telling you all the reasons why I love it. I think my absolute favourite […]

Guest Contributer: Anita Cheung Two years ago when the pandemic hit, I decided that life was too short to wait around for my boyfriend to buy me flowers. I took matters into my own hand and purchased Perennial Gathering’s spring and summer floral arrangement subscription. I figured if we were going to spend the foreseeable forever in […]

The most asked question I get is what is your favourite go-to white. So today, let’s chat white paint.   If you’ve been following along my reno journey, you would’ve seen how many tester strips and boards I’ve painted in a matter of a week. Just so everyone knows, I am just a tad crazy […]

JUNE PHOTO: Summer feels near for many of us in Vancouver […]

Dear Magali Grace, It’s been one year since you greeted us earth-side with your first cry in the operating room. I remember when Dr. Rosengarten lifted you over the curtains at the hospital, I broke down in tears. Going into the OR, I had no idea how I was going to feel and the minute […]

When I first found out I was pregnant with Aliyana, two things filled my Pinterest board – nursery decor and beautiful play spaces filled with every single toy I wish I had when I was little.
