Outdoor Living || Fall Edition with @TheBrick #ad

Maybe it’s the snow looming but I always stay out on the patio to the bitter cold end. Let’s face it, we will be home bound for a good 6 months with winter soon enough. Why not utilize your patio for as long as you can? We love hosting dinners and sitting by the fire with friends and family. I transition the space very easily to fall by adding blankets, warm drinks and a touch of autumn decor. Our Capstone fire table from The Brick is a fall outdoor necessity. It prolongs our outdoor living place well into chilly October. It’s chic modern design make it a focal point of any patio setup. In previous years, this has been my favourite time to pick up patio pieces in summer sale sections for next year… or just to enjoy for the next month and a half for the end of season discount. Happy shopping friends!

It’s Infant Safety Month || Let’s talk baby gates…

We struggled to find baby gates for our new house. I learned to our area was extra wide because it was covering two sets of stairs. And the banister was in the way for most pressure point gates. Our friends at West Coast Kids found these Qdos, I love the white minimalist design and obviously their capability to go wider compared to the other gates on the market. We also attached their zero-screw furniture anti-tip kit to the white cabinet in the background. such a innovation to help stop furniture from crushing and harming our little ones. I’d take a look at it if you haven’t thought of that baby proofing yet.

Mirror Monday || Bathroom Envy with @TheBrick #AD

It’s Mirror Monday! So naturally I thought I’d share with you my favourite mirror in the house; this round wooden find from The Brick. This piece was the inspiration behind the vanity design. I love the thick frame that easily doubles as a shelf… add seasonal decor, jewelry or beauty products. It’s the most asked about sourcing piece from this renovation, introducing the Brynjar Mirror. If you were looking for wood detail and a shelve, the rectangular Ingrid Mirror was a close second choice for our space. I was so torn between these two stunning mirrors. Happy Monday darlings!
