It’s not only about the pretty pictures. Instagram lends amazing opportunities to feed our creativity, meet like-minded souls and challenge the status quo. I like that - I like that a lot. And I have been thinking a lot about the conversations I have had and the connections I have made in my short time on, what I like to call, visual social media. So many people and so many feeds have had an impact on me and I’ve decided it’s time to start shouting them out. If you are in the design community or you have a feed that is creatively-focused you know the name @designsponge. Grace Bonney and the Design Sponge team really get it. I don’t want to put words in anyone’s mouth but my sense is that they know a whole lot about the fact that design is for and about people. That is something that speaks directly to my heart! And after 15 years Grace is preparing for a change and I’m excited to see the direction she takes - at whatever pace it happens. Thanks Grace! I’m intrigued. And watching. ♡ Tell me friend, who inspires you? . . . . . . . . . . . . . #FindItStyleIt #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #SODomino #HomeWithRue #MySMPHome #IDCOatHome #GreigeStyle #CurrentDesignSituation #ApartmentTherapy #MyDomaine #AmbularInteriorsAintGotNothingOnMe #InMyDomaine #creativecommunity #creative #LonnyLiving #DesignSponge #BeckiOwensFeature #RueDaily #HowYouHome #HWFridayFeature #TheNewSouthern #MakeTimeForDesign #HowWeDwell #CurrentDesignSituation #SimplyStyleYourSpace #VogueLiving #InspoToYourHome #Interior_and_Living #ElleDecor #naturalorneutral #houseandgarden

The impact of a few good choices like flooring and paint set the foundation for all homes - even the simplest spaces. Muted oak floors and soft white paint were the foundation for this builder-basic town house. (And yes, @benjaminmoore Cloud White is STILL my favourite after all these years.) I recently came across the real estate listing from 4 years ago and I got to appreciate some of those decisions we made for this room when we took possession. For fun, swipe to see the before of this little corner. . . . . . . . . . #FindItStyleIt #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #SODomino #BlackandWhite #HomeWithRue #MySMPHome #IDCOatHome #GreigeStyle #Neutral #CurrentDesignSituation #ApartmentTherapy #MyDomaine #AmbularInteriorsAintGotNothingOnMe #InMyDomaine #LonnyLiving #DesignSponge #Neutralandnatural #BeckiOwensFeature #RueDaily #smallspaceliving #HWFridayFeature #TheNewSouthern #Ehdweekendmakeover #MakeTimeForDesign #RueDaily #kinfolkliving #SimplyStyleYourSpace #VogueLiving #Interior_and_Living #ElleDecor

Hello there! New sofas arrived on Friday and I’m happy. I’m happy I waited until I found a style I was completely drawn to. I’m happy that I found a durable fabric that I liked - fast. I’m happy with the comfort. I’m happy that they look as good and possibly better than I hoped they would. These are investment pieces. And when we choose furniture wisely it will serve us well for many years. I have details I want to share with you about my fabric choice and the style and manufacturer of the sofa. More details later this week. It’s Sunday. And it’s beautiful out. So I’m off to enjoy a sunny VANCOUVER day. What are you doing today? . . . . . . . . . . . . . #FindItStyleIt #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #SODomino #HomeWithRue #MySMPHome #IDCOatHome #GreigeStyle #CurrentDesignSituation #ApartmentTherapy #MyDomaine #AmbularInteriorsAintGotNothingOnMe #InMyDomaine #LonnyLiving #DesignSponge #BeckiOwensFeature #RueDaily #HowYouHome #HWFridayFeature #TheNewSouthern #MakeTimeForDesign #HowWeDwell #CurrentDesignSituation #SimplyStyleYourSpace #VogueLiving #naturalorneutral #Interior_and_Living #ElleDecor #Pillows #blackandwhitedecor #monochromehome

I’m not sure that anything tops my joy in the spring. Do you have a favourite season? . . . . . . . . . . . #livebeautifully #momentsofmine #momentslikethis #momentslikethese #seekthesimplicity #abmhappylife #seedscolor #alittlebeautyeveryday #pursuepretty #gatheredstyle #nothingisordinary #nestandflourish #snap_ish #enjoythelittlethings #finditstyleit #abeautifulmess #smallspaceliving #aroundthehouse #pocketofmyhome #gardenlife #gardentips #gardenstyle #urbangarden #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #MySMPHome #DesignSponge #BeckiOwensFeature #HowYouHome #HowWeDwell #SimplyStyleYourSpace

On Monday I’ll be clearing this corner and making way for two new pieces of furniture. I have never once tried to match anything in my own home. Coordinate always. Match never. For some reason the idea of a matching love seat and sofa seemed appealing this time around. And I’m excited to see what they will look like in situ. Can you picture it? Ivory coloured, long single bench cushion with two large back cushions and narrow black metal legs. On a recent shopping trip this black and ivory patterned cushion tapped me on the shoulder and said take me home. So here it is. Waiting. Patiently. With me until Tuesday. ♡ What was the last thing that you were excited to bring into your home? I’d love to hear about it in the comments! ♡ . . . . . . . . . #FindItStyleIt #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #MySMPHome #IDCOatHome #GreigeStyle #ApartmentTherapy #InMyDomaine #designsponge #HowYouHome #TheNewSouthern #HowWeDwell #SimplyStyleYourSpace #Interior_and_Living #alittlebeautyeveryday #livebeautifully #momentsofmine #momentslikethis #momentslikethese #alittlebeautyeveryday #gatheredstyle #nothingisordinary #minimalism #nestandflourish #enjoythelittlethings #neutral #smallspaceliving #aroundthehouse #pocketofmyhome #enjoythelittlethings #naturalandneutral

Although I have lived in the city for my entire adult life I am completely in love with the idea of rural living. This photo, taken two years ago, makes me think of Annabelle Hickson and her first book A Tree In The House. I have been a longtime admirer of her rural lifestyle and her Instagram feed. Visit @annabellehickson’s February 7 IG post to see her incredible book cover and read how that amazing photo was almost a lost opportunity. Thank you Annabelle for your continual inspiration! . . . . . . . . . . . #FindItStyleIt #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #MySMPHome #IDCOatHome #GreigeStyle #ApartmentTherapy #InMyDomaine #designsponge #HowYouHome #TheNewSouthern #FindItStyleIt #HowWeDwell #SimplyStyleYourSpace #Interior_and_Living #alittlebeautyeveryday #livebeautifully #momentsofmine #momentslikethis #momentslikethese #alittlebeautyeveryday #gatheredstyle #nothingisordinary #minimalism #nestandflourish #enjoythelittlethings #neutral #smallspaceliving #aroundthehouse #pocketofmyhome #enjoythelittlethings
