Something I've been admiring this past little while are all the archways interiors I've been spotting in magazines and online. I've been thinking how one could replicate the look in a home without doing a huge reno. One thought was to price out some arch-style mirrors. I guess I wasn't not alone in that thought, because once I did a search, I found endless inspiration of these statement mirrors big and small. From entryways to bathroom vanities, these mirrors are a fun way to add a hint of the arch-shaped trend to your home. Let's take a look!

Anyone else getting a good blast of cabin fever these days? I was in need of being transported to France (today especially), so I made this playlist "Les Hits". This is my fourth playlist since the pandemic started and this one was made especially for those yearning to travel.  Here's the link.

I came across these stunning renderings (hard to believe they're not real),  by Russian designer, Aleksey Uljanochkin recently. The proposed project is for a tiny home to be located a bit outside of Saint Petersburg.  

I was introduced recently to Calgary-based photographer, Sofia Katherine and was immediately struck by her night photography; most especially the ones with the Rocky Mountains and starlit skies in the background. Since a majority of her work involves wedding photography at night (a niche I now love), I invited her for a little Q&A on the blog today to celebrate Valentines and feature some of her stunning couple photos.  

Let's take a look!

With all the snow today, I almost forgot to post this! Happy Galentines!

Hanna Eidson is a fibre artist based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, who specializes in hand hooked and machine tufted rugs. Growing up in California, her family encouraged a lot of crafting and her love for fibre art (especially wool) began at age four when her mom taught her how to knit. After moving to Nova Scotia in 2016, she took a rug hooking class and in her own words, "was immediately hooked". More recently she's acquired a tufting gun which allows her to scale up her production.  Love her non-traditional designs in such a traditional field; such great colours and humour. 

I'm honoured to kick off the new year with this adorable idea by our friend and local creative Miranda Hudson of Madera Goods. Miranda has been biding more time in Tofino these days (one of B.C.'s most beautiful shores) and I'm living vicariously through both her Instagram accounts @maderagoods and @hudsonny Winter beaches here in the PNW are well known for all the driftwood they accumulate each season and Miranda has collected some very special smaller pieces, bringing the outdoors in and at the same time keeping their New Year's focus displayed so beautifully on their fridge.  I loved this idea so much, so asked if she'd like to share it for our readers.
