Lifestyle || Rainy day Netflix picks in our @TheBrick viewing room. #partner

I know it may sound crazy but I actually look forward to rainy summer days. Maybe it’s the break from the heat or the fact that I get to snuggle with this guy all day. Either way, I’ll take it every once in a while. Plus my garden needs it!

When we created this Man Cave for my husband last year, I wanted to make it a comfy movie oasis everyone could enjoy. We went with slim modern leather recliners from The Brick.  Perfectly wipeable for cleaning up after little fingers and putting your feet up too! The Samsung 70″ KU6290 UHD LED Smart Television was a must because it easily accesses our favourites like Netflix and Youtube with one simply click. We got so many questions after our Man Cave Reveal  about the Odesos 72″ TV Stand with Glass Ember Firebox and Soundbar. It easily heats our space in minutes and I love the cozy fire glow. For more room details and my Netflix picks for both kids and adults see below!

May your rainy days this summer be filled with comfort and great entertain!

As you guys know, I’m in full on spring cleaning mode. Along with the big seasonal clean I like to refresh and restyle my main living spaces along the way. I’m so excited to show you the new Designed2B Dez custom sectional I created in grey for our living room. The neutral grey is easy to style and the fabric is so forgiving with toddler hands. When touched this textured material changes colour in a slight range of greys, it’s perfect for our main family room.

Style || Active Wear with @MarksCanada #partner #bugaboo

I love to find pieces that I can LIVE in… I’m always active and on the go with these two little guys, so it’s important to have clothing that adapts to that busy lifestyle. I thought I’d share a more casual look that takes me from morning stroller walks to coffee dates. I love the draped design of this top and it’s soft feel; perfect to add polish to an activewear outfit.

Home Decor || Our Master Bedroom Spring Refresh with @TheBrick #partner

Spring is finally here! Which means spring cleaning and refreshing the home decor of a few choice rooms in our home. I love to add light and airy pillows, throws and bedding when the temperatures change. Since I picked up a few new pieces for the master bedroom, every time I post it on Instagram Stories I get tons of product sourcing questions. So I thought I would link up our newly designed sleep sanctuary in one place.
