• Look closely, what do you see? Do you see the crack that runs the full length of the marble surround? How about the 1970’s tile on the hearth, which I painted with chalk paint instead of ripping out? Or the original mantel which works seamlessly with the new wall moulding? 🔥 I’ve been thinking a lot about what I buy and consume lately. I love seeing renovations and updating rooms - but do we really need to be ripping out things that are perfectly usable just because they’re dated? Sometimes it’s those dated things that give a place character and make it stand out from a sea of sameness. Do you have anything in your home that you’ve preserved or restored? . . . #RRColonialCharm #mytradhome #moderntraditional #grandmillennial #grandmillennialdecor #livingroominspo #fireplacedecor #heyhomehey #makehomematter #nesttoompress #actualinstahomes #interiorsforall #houseenvy #homesohard #makemyhome #currenthomeview #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #HowIHaven #MySMPHome #idcoathome

  • How many pillows do you keep on the sofa? I’m anywhere from 3 to 5 and most every chair has at least one. I love the look of this extra long lumbar I sewed using @ralphlauren fabric from @calicocorners but I have to admit, it’s so big that it just gets thrown on the ground when someone wants to stretch out and lie down. 😬 And when the fire is on and everyone wants to be in the cozy living room, the floor looks like a pillow graveyard 😳😂.

  • Today we pack up our little cottage in the woods #RRWildwoodCottage for another season. This place has been a refuge for us the last few months. I’m grateful we’ve had somewhere we can shed some of the worry of the world and find comfort in lake waters and sunshine and ‘round the campfire. So we’ll pack up the bedding and vacuum the floors and wish her a good sleep until the spring. Maybe we can all hibernate for a while longer and when we wake up, the world will feel stronger, alive, and healed. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Happy Thanksgiving 🇨🇦 . . . #RRWildwoodCottage #cottagechic #cottagesandbungalows #princeedwardcounty #countyup #visitthecounty #travelontario #cottagehome #thecottagejournal #summerhome #cottagelife #cottageliving #coastaldecor #mytradhome #cottageinthewoods #nestandthrive #homewithrue #houseenvy #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #HomeWithRue #HowIHaven #MySMPHome #cljsquad #heyhomehey #heyaidlookatme #idcoathome

  • It’s Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend. We’re not able to celebrate with our extended family due to Covid restrictions but in some weird way that’s reminding me of what I’m thankful for. What do we really need in this world? Food, health, and a roof over our heads (and a Zoom call to see everyone). I have that. My family and friends have that. I hope you all have that too. Happy Thanksgiving weekend 🦃🇨🇦🥧

  • What is it about Befores and Afters that gets us excited? This week marks the start of the #oneroomchallenge and though I’m sitting this one out, I’m eager to see all of the transformations. Swipe through to see five #beforeandafter #orc projects we’ve completed in order from latest to first. Do you have a favourite? Mine would have to be the living room. It’s classic and fresh and really was the first step in making this house our home. . . . #beforeandafter #beforeandafterhomeedition #basementremodel #bathroomremodel #bedroomrenovation #diningroomdecor #oneroomchallenge #RRColonialCharm #smmakelifebeautiful #mytradhome #howihome #howihaven #diyrenovation #idcoathome

  • Last weekend, I binge watched @emilyinparis (it’s SO GOOD!) and it made me realize how much I miss travelling. I miss the architecture and the unfamiliar streets. I miss seeing how people dress. I miss learning a bit of the language and eating like the locals do (@berthillon_officiel glace, s’il vous plait). And I miss finding those moments that remind you how much beauty there is in the world and trying to capture it with my camera. Swipe to see some my favourite #Paris memories. Travel seems so far off right now, but we need to hold onto hope that it will come back. There’s so much more of this world that I want to see. 🗺🇫🇷📸 Tell me, where do you dream of visiting someday soon? . . . #travelphotography #parisfrance #parisarchitecture #parisianvibes #france #lavieenrose #joiedevivre #takemebacktoparis #emilyinparis ppl #berthillonicecream #blackandwhitephotography #parisphotography

  • Last year, we raked 60 bags of leaves. And this year, we just realized the new lawn mower we bought in the summer was a mulching lawn mower! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sean attached the bag, used the mulcher and mowed the front and back yards, and dumped the clippings in only five bags. 🙌🏼 I can’t believe it took us 13 years of raking leaves to realize there was an easier way to clear our lawn 😬😂.

  • Have you noticed it? Everyone seems to be talking about Facebook Marketplace or their latest thrift store find. I imagine we all have little stockpiles of projects, waiting to be done. 🪑🖼🏺 There’s chairs to be recovered. Frames to be updated with new mats or a bit of gold spray paint. A vase to be given a textured treatment and reinvented as earthenware. It reminds me of when I started blogging in 2007 and everyone was DIYing. And I like that thought. Old things have character, personality, and a story to tell.

  • This fall exterior was a long time coming. In the summer, we re-laid the walkway and added steps and then last week, we painted the peeling porch floor. Swipe to the end to see where we started. But now she’s pretty (and non-slip 😬) and all dressed for fall. Head to the blog, link in bio, to see the details and find inspiration from 20 other fall outdoor spaces. Now grab a coffee and come sit with me! ☕️🍁☀️ . . . #RRColonialCharm #SeasonalSimplicity #porchdecor #falldecorating #yellowpumpkin #yellowmums #itsfallyall #exteriors #outdoordecor #falldecorinspo #mytradhome #prettylittleinteriors #nestandthrive #homewithrue #houseenvy #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #HomeWithRue #HowIHaven #MySMPHome #cljsquad #heyhomehey #heyaidlookatme #idcoathome #pocketofmyhome

All against a glorious backdrop of fall colours. Swipe to see some of our adventures. Those unexpected moments made my heart happy.
