We all know I love a new rug, so the addition of Ahmar area rug from The Brick has been no exception. This affordable graphic print with Moroccan tassel trim is a striking accent for any space. This hallway with counter top bar seating, has the most walking traffic of any area in our home. Most rugs I’ve purchased in the past haven’t lasted due to the wear they endured on a daily basis. The Ahmar rug is machine woven with a jute and latex backing for long-lasting durability that won’t scratch your floors. It’s made of heat-set polypropylene which is a very durable fibre with the added bonus of anti-static qualities. Hair and fur won’t stick to it, making this material easy to maintain and clean. With both children and a large dog that was quite the selling feature for our family. Coming in under the $225 mark for both sizes, it is also a very affordable rug option. If you rug hunt like I do, you know rugs can be a massive home decor expensive but this one will not beat the bank.

I know you’re probably sick of seeing the snow on my style posts but it’s my reality. Spring comes late to most Canadians, so I’m embracing the chilly and still styling my fav winter pieces. The one thing I will say is a positive, everything winter is on final clearance. I snagged this Teddy coat from H&M for $30! Now that’s a deal. I never like to spend too much on a trendy piece like this. Are you embracing spring? Or are you still frozen in fashion?

It’s my favourite time of the year! Winter is slowly melting but there’s no harm getting a jump on spring decor in our house to lighten the mood. Bring on Spring! Throughout the year, I’m joined by a fantastic group of Canadian bloggers as we share glimpses into our homes each season. At the end of this post, I’ve linked up all the spring inspiring home tours for you to view. Let my spring home tour begin!

This year, to add spring to our living room we played off the amazing gold handles on our fav toy storage cabinet The Adept from The Brick. I love the combo of gold accents, whites and pinks. It’s a subtle fresh look you can add easily to any room.

Continuing with the blush pink, white and gold color palette. We add a few subtle touches to our Bari set from The Brick. I love the side century feel to this stunning dining set. It’s easy to add seasonal accents to change up the look when you have a dining set this classic.

This beauty post is a long time coming. I love dry shampoo, not only because I’m a busy mom but it is a time saver for everyone. But I have a confession to make… I quit Dry Shampoo a year ago! Why? Because I was sick and tired of the white residue. There were a few on the market that were designed for darker haired individuals like myself. Then the residue to be brown but it was still residue! It looked gross in my hair and left it feeling grimy/dry/ brittle to the touch. And if I used the basic white residue dry shampoo, I looked like I was 90 years old! So dry shampoo and I parted ways…

Fast forward a year…

Luckily, brands have heard our complaints and stepped up with invisible residue free formulas we’ve been asking for! Finally I’m back on the dry shampoo train. Here are my top 6 completely invisible beauty game changers:
