Changing Gears

Authors: Antonella Inglesi

As you can see it's unfinished (missing photographs of me and all).  This weekend I'll have to fix that.  I started typing up the...

Stamp Happy

Authors: Antonella @ LoveYourHome

I went to Michaels over the weekend (yay!).  They are having some super duper sales right now.  I picked up these two rolls of wrapping paper for only a buck each! I never have any on hand when I need some.  My really big steals though were rubber stamps, including two for Halloween, for only $1.50...

I do have this to share though: a few weeks ago, we planted three English ivy bushes along the fence at the side of t...

Storage, Art, or Both?

Authors: Antonella @ LoveYourHome


It's not fun looking at a plain wall when stirring a pot at the stove.  Right? This kitchen makes a fun use of the wall space above the range by hanging cupcake pans (below).  It's a super idea; not only does the display function as art, it acts as storage for pans still in use as well.  By using the w...

To Chop or Not?

Authors: Antonella @ LoveYourHome

When I first arranged the plushy pillows on our buttercream sofa, I literally karate chopped the pillows down the centre.  I don't know where the idea came from; probably an episode of Sarah's House on HGTV.  Then after a while I thought, this is weird.  I stopped chopping them.  Now I'm back to do doi...
