Boy + Girl Design
We’re Boy + Girl.
Oh, + Dog.
We’re an early 30’s couple living in Canada.
And we’re putting our best amateur design foot forward, in an attempt to transform our first home.
We Bought. We’re Broke. We’re Renovating.
We’re overhauling our 1980’s bungalow on a budget.
Follow along for creative design solutions and affordable fixes.
If you stick it out with us, you’ll be sure to witness domestic design disputes, home renovation debacles and be subjected to an abundance of + Dog pictures.
We’re basically just sharing our lives with you, whether you like it or not!
We’re ready to get started. We hope you’ll join us. We could use the help.

Well, I thought I hated them. Turns out, a few hours, a few nail heads and a pot of $1 “oops” paint I scored at Home Depot was all...

But I’m going to be honest with you here. Winter was long. And draining. And my motivation and creativity froze along with everything else around here.
Instead...
