Snow in April during a pandemic calls for an extra Snow in April during a pandemic calls for an extra cup of self love today.  This better not last long because, well because people in Ontario are having a hard time being restricted and snow makes it worse.  That is my rant.  I may or may not have Irish Cream in my coffee.  Happy Hump Day friends. ⁣

We are slowly ticking off the details on our list We are slowly ticking off the details on our list to get our master bath completed. One of those details was installing our Woody Wall Hook (gifted) by Umbra. This is the spot where I used to hang my outfit planned for the next day, in the olden days when we used to leave the house.  And even with all of this garbage going on in in Ontario right now, I am hopeful that I will be hanging an outfit or two on this awesome hook to go somewhere fun sometime soon.⁣

Kate is a mom of three boys from Omaha, Newbraska.  They finished their new home build in September 2020.  They lived on the lot for 10 years, then tore that house down and rebuilt.  Kate her design style is classic and modern traditional with a little coastal mixed in.  She worked with Erica Bryant @ericabryantdesign on the design.  I never would want to leave this blue office. ⁣

We hope to get our dock in this weekend, and maybe even the boat if the weather cooperates.  And we hope to have our master bathroom ready in the next week.  It’s those little details that kill you during a stay at home order for sure.  Happy weekend to you all.⁣

As we are starting to move back into our bathroom, As we are starting to move back into our bathroom, I am looking for better ways to store things. Jewellery that you wear regularly is a tricky one.  Umbra sent me this Trigem Bracelet and Earring Bar and it really is ideal.  I can keep the things that I am wearing regularly handy without tucking them away in a jewellery box where they are forgotten.  Now if I could just leave the house, I would be ready in no time!⁣

We have more progress in the master bathroom. I a We have more progress in the master bathroom.  I am in love with these  cabinets that we designed.  The far right cabinet is for hot tub robes and bathing suits.  The middle drawers and display are for bathroom stuff.  The left cabinet is extra clothing storage and laundry.  Now if we could just figure out how to get the trim we need to trim this out and get the doors on, during a Stay At Home Order.  We will just wait it out, I guess,  but I had to show you this beauty. ⁣

Today we are wishing Happy Birthday to this gorgeo Today we are wishing Happy Birthday to this gorgeous girl who made me a mama.  She is a hard working high school science teacher and I could not be more proud of the person that she has become.  This is when we did that fun makeover in her rental home using peel and stick wallpaper, with the help of @roommatesdecor. ⁣
