• See all these little crocks? Each one of them was found at antique stores out in the country. My fave, only twice a year, #ChristieAntiqueShow is happening tomorrow and we’re debating whether to go or to stay home and finally finish off the bathroom renovation. I’m telling you, #ProjectFrenchBistroBathroom has been a test. We’ve had so many hurdles thrown at us in the last few weeks. The latest one: we installed and glued down the vanity and marble countertop per instructions... only to find the center drawers design actually prevents us from installing the faucet now. I don’t know what I should do. Maybe I should just go shop 😬😆 On a happier note, hop over to @officialmetrie IG stories at 10am EDT today to catch me talking about all things trim and moulding on their new #MetrieMasters series. . . . #RRWildwoodCottage #cottagestyle #cottagedecor #summerhouse #currentdesignsituation #homewithrue #pursuepretty #mypinterest #mytradhome #moderncountry #fixerupperstyle #bhghome #thedelightofdecor #homesohard #makehomematter #mycovetedhome #countryliving #howwedwell #countrylivingmag

  • How many signs of summer can you spot: 1) a baseball glove, 2) rocks picked up on a beach walk, 3) outdoor pillows, 4) string patio lights, 5) hostas waiting to be planted, 6) flowers straight from the farm, 7) a picnic table, 8) a screen door left open letting the bugs in 🤦🏻‍♀️. I hope every day this summer brings perfectly imperfect moments like this. ☀️☀️☀️ #howisummer #cottagestyle #cottageliving #porchdecor #RRWildwoodCottage #currentdesignsituation #homewithrue #pursuepretty #mypinterest #mytradhome #cottagestyle #moderncountry #fixerupperstyle #bhghome #homesohard #makehomematter #mycovetedhome #countryliving #howwedwell

  • Yay, it’s porch season. One decor trend I’m on board with: using artificial plants. I’ve decided to use them outdoors too. Mixed with a few live plants that I can switch out when they die (I’m terrible at keeping plants alive!), it makes for porch decor that will last me all summer long. 🙌 Can you tell which of these plants are real and which are faux?? I’ve come upon a great Canadian source @decorsveronneau for artificial plants (👍🏼 to no duties) that had me fooled. Details are on the blog, link in profile. #partner 🌿🌷🌸🌱 #porchdecor #summerdecor #curbappeal #RRColonialCharm #artificialplants #blackthumb #mytradhome #homedecorinspo

  • Soaking up the last few hours of this long weekend. Birds are chirping, lawn mowers are running, and kids are squealing as they make skids with their bikes on the road. It’s one of those moments that make the long winters worth it.

  • Do you have any morning rituals? Here at the cottage, I get up, make my bed, and enjoy a cup of coffee sitting right here. I’ll move the @dahliamayflowerfarm bouquet so it’s close enough to smell and grab the iPad to read the latest @countrylivingmag. Picking just the right @chaptersindigo or @hudsonsbay mug is a serious decision here (swipe to see the options) and I take the mug to be an omen for the day ahead. Today’s motto: Adventure is out there. ☕️☕️☕️ There’s joy in doing things the exact same way and getting the same result. Tell me, what’s your favourite ritual? 🖤 #morningroutine #cottagestyle #cottagedecor #whiteandbright #serenaandlily #bistrochairs #RRWildwoodCottage #currentdesignsituation #homewithrue #pursuepretty #mypinterest #mytradhome #cottagestyle #moderncountry #fixerupperstyle #bhghome #makehomematter #mycovetedhome #countryliving #howwedwell #housebeautiful

  • Enjoying this picture of calm this morning. The photo of the magnolia tree in bloom is one I use to decorate my shelves in spring. The pretty leaves only last but a moment and I kind of love that. It’s a gentle reminder to be present and appreciate what’s in front of you. And what’s in front of me is a long weekend. Yay to that ☀️🚲🏖🎾🍹Happy Friday!

  • Rise and shine friends. Waking up to this Saturday sunshine (finally!) has me excited. I’m hoping to hit some antique shops this weekend and maybe get treated with breakfast in bed if I’m lucky 😉. The two smaller blue and white jars were thrifted and I think I need more for my collection.

  • Not shown in this photo: the thin layer of dust covering every surface in my home. I’m happy to have our #oneroomchallenge bathroom renovation almost done, but boy does it cause upheaval in the rest of the house! I’ve got bins of tools in the bedroom, a garage full of tub-sized cardboard boxes, and paintbrushes were hanging out by my toothbrush this morning. It might be time to clean up 😬🧽🚰🛠💃🏽 What are you up to this Friday morning? . . . #RRColonialCharm #mytradhome #currenthomeview #traditionalhome #transitionaldesign #mytradhome #inmydomaine #rshome #cljsquad #mybhghome #mystylishspace #mycollecteddecor #howihaven #thedecorsocial #SMmakelifebeautiful #styleathome #ggathome #theeverygirlathome #thedelightofdecor #homesohard #makehomematter #mycovetedhome

  • Hooray it’s #oneroomchallenge reveal day! And though we don’t have a finished bathroom renovation to show you, the progress we have so far makes me 😍. Renovating is never easy but it’s always worth it. So proud to be part of the DIY design blogger community, the ones who learn to use the power tools and build and do the dirty work. Today they’re filling up your feed with design inspiration and perhaps planting the seed that you can do the same in your home. Because you can. Just grab a hammer or lay some tile or change out a faucet. Do the thing you don’t believe you’re capable of and surprise yourself. 🛠 Swipe to see the Before and click the link in my bio to read why we’re back in demolition mode with this room 😭😖😁. Special thanks to @homedepotcanada and @deltafaucetcan, our partners in this project, whose support helped us get this far. And thanks to Linda @callingithome, organizer of @oneroomchallenge and Media Partner @betterhomesandgardens for the encouragement to love on my home and make her shine. Congrats to everyone who toughed it out over the last six weeks! . . . #RRColonialCharm #bhgorc #tilelove #reallifereno #diyblogger #diyhome #bathroomremodel #ihavethisthingwithfloors #designblogger #cdnblogsquad #mytradhome #currenthomeview #traditionalhome #mybhghome #howihaven #SMmakelifebeautiful #homesohard #makehomematter #mycovetedhome

  • Should we call it a #renovationfail? Not quite yet but we have had a major setback in our six week #oneroomchallenge bathroom renovation, catch the details in my Stories. So with one day left, all I can show for now is the gorgeous @homedepotcanada floor and this pretty @riflepaperco rug. 🛠 A valuable lesson has come out of all of this though. We’ve had some growing pains with Chloe, our 10 year old, and I explained that she’s like the bathroom wall: our job as parents is to build her strong, resilient and ‘right’ from the inside out, because without that, nothing on the outside matters. So when we take the time to correct her behaviour, talk and teach her, that’s what we’re doing. #momlife 🧰 When is renovating not a metaphor for life? You tear down, you try, you build something new. Have you had any hard lessons lately? It’s okay to stumble. This bathroom will get done, just on a longer timeline. And when it is, it will be spectacular 🛁🚰🚽🧻🚿 #reallifereno #RRColonialCharm #bathroomremodel #designblogger #diyblogger #ihavethisthingwithfloors #tilelove #blackandwhitedecor

  • We’re one week and one #oneroomchallenge bathroom renovation away from getting back to the cottage #RRWildwoodCottage. And let me tell you, I’m motivated to get back to my happy place. I realized I work better with a deadline to meet. Having too much time is my recipe for endless procrastination 😂. What gets you going? ⛵️ On a side note, these @serenaandlily Riviera chairs are on sale through Monday. They’ve stood up to sandy bums, wet bathing suits, and kids who don’t know how to sit on their bottom, sometimes all at the same time 😆 If you’ve been debating getting them, now’s the time.
