Home Decor || Alastair’s Room Update

I’m so excited to share Alastair’s room update with all of you this week. Some may have noticed we’ve been working on this room for several months now. When we moved into this house over a year ago, the previous owners used it as a home gym/ storage room. We pretty much adopted that idea in the moving process. It was far easier using it as a storage spot for many months and have Alastair sleep in a toddler bed in our room. Fast forward one year, I’m so ready to not only gain back our master bedroom but provide a toy heaven sleep situation for our little guy. We partner with The Brick to design a little boy’s bedroom dream. Let the room product sourcing begin!6EB5420C-C36B-4E8E-94F6-DAA4640017C6

His entire room design revolves around The Maroq Triangle Area Rug. Graphic geometric triangles in teal and mustard bring excitement to any space. The soil-resistant fibres in this rug will withstand daily use. I wanted a soft, plush feel of this carpet under his toes  and knees for play time.0098F379-2E38-40A5-B845-EEB28569585FB9FEB023-BADE-46C0-B765-D88DD3EED17C

Every kid’s room needs ample storage. We added both open and closed storage with the Harbor View Cabinet and Barrister Lane Tall Bookcase. Both in weather grey wood adding the perfect neutral palette to the room.

Style || Overall Trend & Pretty Bell Sleeves || Spring Look

I’ll be the first to admit, I was pretty skepytical about the overall denim trend that has been emerging in the last year. I haven’t owned a pair since I was 7 years old! Either I found the styles too juvenille or the fit too difficult to get into. But I’m sold now that I found the perfect style, these have a side zipper to help get on and off for a more fitted look. I’ve partner with Style Culture to style 2 of my top product picks from their online boutique.

Starting with… these Distressed Denim Overalls by BLANK NYC. They are the perfect mix of comfort and style. I love the ripped details and the minor stretch to the denim.

canadian mom influencer blogger northern style aveeno canadian mom influencer blogger northern style aveeno I’m so excited summer is finally here! Maybe it was the extra-long winter or the hibernation mode we’ve been experiencing as a family this past season, but I know we are so ready to get out in the sun for some fun! I’m so excited to partner with AVEENO® to share our experience with the AVEENO® BABY Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 & AVEENO® BABY® Sensitive Skin Face Sun Stick SPF 50. We love getting out to the park and playing in the sun as a family but there is always that risk of sun damage from UVA and UVB rays. For our family, the fact that  AVEENO® is the #1 pediatrician recommended baby skin care brand was a bonus. It The baby sunscreen also uses 100% naturally-sourced zinc oxide, a natural UVA/UVB filter, for effective sun protection. Meanwhile, the ACTIVE NATURALS® Oat ingredienthelps lock in moisture, nourish and soothe babies’ delicate skin, which is great as both of my kids struggle with dry skin or reactive atopic skin. The size of the AVEENO® BABY® Sensitive Skin Face Sun Stick is perfect to throw in my purse and have it on me for reapplication throughout the day – remember, it’s every two hours when you’re out in the sun! I want to provide that necessary protective barrier to shield my children’s skin from the sun’s harmful rays, so we can get out there and enjoy the whole summer… every sunny minute of it!

Are you ready for sun season?

Home decor || A Mother’s Day Tablescape

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I’ve partner with The Brick to bring you a feminine tablescape using their beautiful Bari dining table. I love the modern design of the Bari, head to toe, the brown mindi veneers offer a warm look and plenty of woodgrain highlights. Lengthwise, the table edges subtly bow outwards, for a boat-like shape. This mid-century modern design completely fits the strong trend in home decor at the moment. The spacious tabletop with the criss-cross base provides ample room for guests. Perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch at home. We added pops of pink, gold and green for a feminine feel to the table top. The green leaf place settings added a fun element to the space for this special occasion.
