Note...

Just a note to let my readers know that I will be offline for a little over a week. See you in awhile again with more posts. Take care and hope you are enjoying summer!

The Home: Looking Up

I have always dreamed of having ceiling details in our home. So when we got the opportunity to contract our own build, we decided to add a coffered ceiling.

The detailed ceiling spans through our kitchen and eating nook. My husband framed the beams in by using floor joists. We ordered the lengths that we needed and were able to install it all in one day (the framing). It was a lot of work to paint, however it was so worth it. Be sure to discuss the labour cost with your drywaller/ mudder/ taper, as this is much added work for their trade. This is also something that can be added to an existing home as well, not just new builds. 

There are also different ways it can be done (i.e. mdf). 

It can also have more detailing added, like mouldings.

By painting it the same colour as our walls, it gives us the clean modern look we love. We are so happy with this ceiling and would do it again in a heartbeat. 

The coffered ceiling gives us a reason to be looking up in our home!

The Thoughts: It's Raining, It's Pouring

Oh the rain! There is something magical about rain to me. I love the moodiness of it and how it enables all of my senses. I remember the way it tastes from childhood, trying to catch it in my mouth. The way it feels cool and refreshing as it touches my skin. Seeing how it cleans everything up outside and makes everything so green. The sound of it on the roof makes me feel all cozy. My favourite is the way it smells.... I wish I could bottle it up because it is so refreshing. I love the rain.

The Fashion (for babies): Baby Bling

My dear friend Amy gave us a super cute gift for Stella... a Baby Bling soother. In fact she makes these soothers. They look absolutely adorable. Thank you for the bling Amy.
