CB2, Novogratz & Brasil! #CB2NovogratzBrasilSweepstakes

Shannon — Sat, 18 May 2013 03:00:48 +0000

This post brought to you by CB2. All opinions are 100% mine. Y’all know we typically love subdued laid-back colors around Chez Acheson, right? However, the newly debuted line by CB2 and Novogratz duo (you know, Robert and Courtney from TV?) has got us thinking twice and picturing something a little more bold for this time [...]

Walk This Way – DIY Walkway Ideas

Shannon — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:39:01 +0000

Does anyone remember our quest to improve our old bungalow’s curb appeal last summer? You know, before we knew we were selling the house and moving. Do you remember how cool it was that The Home Depot sponsored our project by giving us gift cards while we did the sweaty work? Well, we sure remember! [...]

Coffee Table Makeover (a DIY project)

Shannon — Tue, 14 May 2013 07:45:04 +0000

Once upon a time we had this really cute country coffee table – complete with dusty pine surface and the oh-so infamous heart cutouts that were rabidly popular “back in the day”. It was still a useful coffee table, but it just wasn’t stylish anymore. A coffee table makeover was desperately needed. So we “upcycled” it [...]

The Living Room

Shannon — Mon, 13 May 2013 07:45:11 +0000

As of tomorrow we will have been living in this house for 5 months. We still have several projects on the go, including an almost completed boy’s bedroom, dining room and kitchen. With nothing more accomplished in these spaces, and our list of things to do outside this summer growing longer by the minute, I [...]

Free Indeed & Know Who You Are In Christ (Free Printables)

Shannon — Wed, 08 May 2013 07:45:47 +0000

On Friday I mentioned that this past weekend I was going to our church’s Women’s Getaway. I’ve served on the organizing team for the last couple of years. But this year was incredibly different for me. Especially on the actual weekend. I felt moved to pray for and serve the women in a way I’ve [...]

Hodge:Podge

Shannon — Tue, 07 May 2013 18:49:20 +0000

I don’t think any one blogger supports Canadian designers, decorators and bloggers more than Barbara Matson of Hodge:Podge. Much like yours truly, Barbara has felt the design and DIY bug almost her entire life; she too rearranged her room constantly and helped her mother to install “gads” of wallpaper. Because Barbara loves Canadians so much, [...]
