Authors: Carol@TheDesignPages
If you were reading earlier this week you saw my post about spray painting a lamp coral. Once that was finished it looked so damn good that it made it hard to find a shade that could live up to such a high standard. Some dollar store daisies inspired me to try to transform the shade and I have to say, it may have even...

So I had this awesome idea that a coral lamp would be the best thing ever for my daughter's bedroom. Okay, let's do it. Yeah, about that. Apparently they don't sell coral lamps, or at least not where I live. You know where this is going, right? It's DIY time!!I really don't dislike this lamp but the colour...

There is a serious diy drought going on over here but that's no reason not to share, right? So instead of design I'm sharing the BEST veggie burger I've ever made. The recipe comes from my all-time favourite food blog Oh She Glows.You don't have to be vegetarian to love this as witnessed by the fact that the resident...

Happy Monday! I'm giving you a Monday wakeup call with this big, bold colour. I am thinking of adding some emerald green to my master bedroom redesign. I don't think I'd be brave enough to do an entire room but a little pinch is awesome.

How much do you love ombre? Hair, painted furniture, cakes. It's everywhere and I love it all. Well obviously if I love it then I must create it, right?All you need are a few inexpensive bottles of acrylic paint, a canvas, brush and something flat to mix colours. All 4 of these acrylics cost me...

We all love our Toms, right? I actually have a love/hate relationship with these shoes. I own a pair but rarely wear them because they make me feel like I'm out in public wearing my slippers.My daughter, on the other hand, lives in hers. So much so that she popped a hole in the toe which I imagine in a...

I love this saying. It's so true, isn't it? Don't just sit around complaining, gosh darnit. Do something about it.In one of my smartest moves of all time, I recently enrolled in Marie Forleo's B-school. If you know Marie, you're gasping and saying, "OMG Carol, I LOVE Marie". If you don't...

Remember that Hollywood Regency bedroom reno that I told you about and how I was going to transform my bedroom into a glam boudoir? Yeah, well about that. Progress has been a teensy bit slowed by a course that I'm taking but I'm determined to put a dent in the room (not literally although there have been...

I keep seeing swans showing up more and more in design lately and I have a feeling that my beloved owl is about to be dethroned by these giant white monsters. I know this might sound a little harsh but a few years ago I lived in a charming tourist town with a river that ran through the centre of town. In...

Okay, well that turned out to be a longer absence than I expected. It's Spring Break where I live and we decided to pull the kids out of school 3 days early and head off on a little road trip to Vancouver and Victoria. Here's a peek at our week.
