My special day

I had such a wonderful Mother's Day today.  The day started with some precious hand made gifts from my kids and then a great lunch at a little place called Tracey Cakes in White Rock.  

My daughter Avery decorated her wrapping paper (so precious!)

My son Lucas made a portrait of his Mommy

My daughter made a lithograph of William Shakespere

I enjoyed a lovely lunch with my Mom, Nana and Aunties

Hope you all had a wonderful day!!

My favourite thing this week

While looking through one of my favourite websites 1st dibs I came across a decorating book for kids' rooms called Room for Children by Susanna Salk.  This book is filled with some of the most beautiful rooms I've ever seen!  If you ever need some inspiration this book will definitely give you lots of ideas.  Here are some of my favourites. 

PATCH NYC

I came across these lovely nature inspired items at West Elm and wanted to share them with you.  West Elm collaborated with PATCH NYC to design these witty and fun pillows, dishes and framed art.  I thought you might enjoy them as much as I do!

My favourite thing this week

One of my weekly guilty pleasures is tuning in to watch High Society on the CW channel.  Anything that combines New York and socialite in the same sentence makes me want to watch!  Yes it is like watching a train wreck at times but I can't take my eyes off the screen.  The show is based on Tinsley Mortimer (socialite) and her life.  Although when I say her life I mean her scripted "life" for the show.  She has a great loft in Midtown Manhattan and last night we got a glimpse of her closet.  I fell in love with the bold pink floral wallpaper!! I am not normally a huge pink fan but what better place than in a fabulous walk in closet.

Girls room

Love the headboard!

Boys room

Love the panelling and barnboard ceiling!

Sex and the City 2

I don't know what I am more excited about, the fashion or the interiors!  I have seen some images of the movie starting to pop up on the web and I wanted to share them with you.  Whether you are a Carrie, Samantha, Miranda or Charlotte I think we can all appreciate the great fashion.  I myself am a huge Carrie fan and she can do no wrong in my eyes when it comes to her fashion sense.  I wish I could wear half the things she does but for some reason it doesn't translate to my lifestyle in the burbs! 

My Favourite thing this week

I came across this bench at one of my favourite home decor stores in Vancouver called The Cross.  It is filled with all sorts of beautiful items.  A great place to pick up a gift for someone or to buy a large piece of furniture with an array of fabrics to choose from.  If you live in the Vancouver area and haven't been or if you are just visiting then you must go check it out! 

Wouldn't this look great in a foyer or at the end of a bed?
