Saturday morning coastal vibes ⚓️🛳🌊 Our basement has a different look from the rest of our house. It’s more shiplap than picture moulding, more beachy than trad, and the flooring is different too. We have maintained our attention to detail and repeated colours though so you’ll find blue accents, classic lighting, and the same white paint we use throughout our home. But it definitely feels like an escape when I come down here. 🐚☀️🩱What do you think - should homes have a consistent style? Should rooms look like one another or do you prefer to change things up? . . . #RRColonialCharm #mytradhome #moderntraditional #basementremodel #basementrenovation #coastaldecor #beachdecor #moderncoastal #beachhousestyle #prettylittleinteriors #nestandthrive #homewithrue #bhgstylemaker #bhghome #houseenvy #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #HomeWithRue #HowIHaven #MySMPHome #cljsquad #heyhomehey #heyaidlookatme #idcoathome #pocketofmyhome 
Excuse the awkwardness. Afters months of being under our third lockdown, today is the day when my city of Toronto is starting to open open up again. 🌈 That means we can finally eat out on patios and have conversations with live humans, shop at @homesensecanada for knick knacks we don’t need but that bring us unspeakable joy, and pick up screws in the hardware aisle at @homedepotcanada instead of miserably failing and buying the wrong ones online. Give me all the mundane, every day things that we’ve missed so much. 💙 This photo has nothing to do with any of that but it’s bright and it’s happy and gosh darn it, that is exactly how I’m feeling this Friday. What are you happy about today? ☀️💃🏻🥳🍻🛍 . . . #RRWildwoodCottage #cottagechic #cottagesandbungalows #cottagehome #thecottagejournal #summerhome #cottagelife #cottageliving #coastaldecor #mytradhome #prettylittleinteriors #nestandthrive #homewithrue #bhgstylemaker #bhghome #houseenvy #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #HomeWithRue #HowIHaven #MySMPHome #cljsquad #heyhomehey #heyaidlookatme #idcoathome #pocketofmyhome

Gimme all the peonies. I look forward to this time of year when I can fill this sink with flowers cut fresh from the garden. I have one peony bush and sadly I forgot about it until all the flowers were already in full bloom. I’ll just have to enjoy these at their peak. What’s blooming in your garden? . . . #RRColonialCharm #mytradhome #moderntraditional #basementremodel #basementkitchen #kitchenette #basementwetbar #basementrenovation #coastaldecor #beachdecor #moderncoastal #beachhousestyle #mycuratedaesthetic #peepmypad #mystoryfilledhome #purposeinstyle #thedelightofdecor #homefabulous #bhghome #bhgstylemaker #housetransformation #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #HowIHaven #MySMPHome #heyhomehey #idcoathome

Firmly in weekend mode. I don’t worry too much about patterns clashing or the bed linens not being perfect here. This place is all about easy summer living. Also, I’m never giving up my plaids.

Well, it’s official. Schools here will stay remote for the remainder of the school year. Good thing we redid this room a few months ago and gave Chloe a new desk to work at 📚. This should translate into straight A’s, right? 😜 Are your kids finishing out the year online or in person? . . .

June is here and the living is easy. That goes for my mantel decor too. I’ve put together this look using thrifted vases, art and books I already had, and blooms foraged from my garden. I’m all for stress-free decorating - and pretty much stress-free anything these days. Head to the blog, link in bio, for 15 sweet summer mantels. . . . #RRColonialCharm #mytradhome #traditionaldecor #traditionalhome #grandmillennialdecor #grandmillennialstyle #colonialhome #classichome #manteldecor #mantledecor #mymilieumoment #livingroominspo #fireplacedecor #farrowandballammonite #moulding #interiorsforall #myhouseismycastle #makemyhome #currenthomeview #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #HomeWithRue #bhghome #bhgstylemaker #HowIHaven #MySMPHome #cljsquad #designblogger #torontoblogger #idcoathome 
Lilac season is such a lovely season. I’m thankful for the previous owners for planting a lilac bush that I get to enjoy. I’m really looking forward to the peonies blooming though.

I’m ready to close the laptop and call an end to this week. Who’s with me? 🙋🏻♀️ Short weeks always seem to drag on, don’t they? But we made it. Through one more week of remote learning. One more week of cooking too many meals to count. One more week of zoom calls. One more week closer to the end of the school year. One more week closer to normalcy. Cheers to that! 🍻 . . . #RRColonialCharm #mytradhome #traditionaldecor #traditionalhome #grandmillennialdecor #grandmillennialstyle #colonialhome #classichome #englishcountryhome #mymilieumoment #homeofficedecor #homeoffice #chalkpaint #chalkpaintfurniture #interiorsforall #myhouseismycastle #makemyhome #currenthomeview #SMMakeLifeBeautiful #HomeWithRue #bhghome #bhgstylemaker #HowIHaven #MySMPHome #cljsquad #designblogger #torontoblogger #idcoathome 
We planted our garden on the weekend and it was looking so good. And then yesterday happened 😣😩. If you caught my stories, you would have heard about the crazy accident which resulted in hydraulic fluid being sprayed all across our front yard 🤦🏻♀️. The walkway and porch (yes, two areas we just updated last summer) and the driveway are stained and I fully expect some of our plants and lawn to start dying any moment now. This @oneroomchallenge project just got a whole lot more interesting.

Happy long weekend vibes. Wish I was at #RRWildwoodCottage but I’ll be working in the garden instead. Swipe to see what I’m up to. The plants are set to arrive tomorrow. Please don’t let me kill them 😬🌿. What fun are you up to this weekend?

I think it was 14 years ago. Sean and I had escaped the bustle of the city and came out to #princeedwardcounty on the suggestion of a friend. We knew nothing about the area but were eager to explore. ☔️ Sadly, it was a cold and rainy weekend, which is how we found ourselves sitting on the tiny screened-in porch at @merrillhouse1878, sipping morning tea well into the afternoon and reading the newspaper, back when that was a thing. And as we listened to the rain fall, the Earl Grey warming our insides, we felt a wonderful calm. The kind of calm that comes from being fully in the moment and knowing you are exactly where you are meant to be. 🌈 The magic of the County took hold of us that day. It drew us back, year after year, until one day six years ago we listened to those whispers in our head, took a risk, and planted our own roots. #RRwildwoodcottage is our summer home and I was excited to finally get out here briefly and open it up for the season. And that feeling of calm? I still get it, sitting here, on our own screened-in porch. Swipe for 30 seconds of zen (sound on). ☕️ . . . #countyup #countylife #cottagelife #porchlife #pec #summerhouse #cottagecore #lifeisbetteratthecottage #sundaymornings #coffeegram #coffeevibes
