Using a house-warming gift card I received from my realtor turned friend, I bought these fun red bar stools at Home Outfitters. Ever since I purchased a condo with a breakfast bar I've been wanting to get some bar stools. And if you're an avid reader of this blog you know I love the colour... Continue Reading →
My mom has a nice built-in cookbook stand in her kitchen. It's the perfect place for keeping your cookbooks while you're cooking or baking.

What I love about it, besides the awesome red colour, is that you can stick your flat iron into the sleeve even when it's piping hot. And your cord... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday! Stay warm!

I must admit that I teared up reading the card. And I just had to share a photo of the gift below. It's a... Continue Reading →
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus... riding on a surfboard pulled by dolphins! Apparently this is how Santa gets around in Australia. I snapped this photo of a house in Byron Bay, Australia last December when I was backpacking Down Under. Merry Christmas!
