This is it. The final creating home post for a while. We have almost finished up the entire house with only one room left untouched. The second bedroom won’t be touched for a while as we hope to one day use it as a nursery, and don’t want to do anything with it before then. … Continue reading creating home – garage
This room is one of the final room is this series (for now) and is one that I wasn’t expecting to do just yet. While my desk and office-y things went into this room when we first moved in, it was a room that we spent no time in as the room was a colour … Continue reading creating home – office
This was not the home post that I was planning on writing this month. Last month when I was planning out my blog posts for the month this room was in complete shambles. We had been living with a hole in our wall pretty much the entire time we have been in this house and … Continue reading creating home – main bathroom
It is no question why this room is called the Living Room as I spend more waking time here than anywhere else.

When we were house … Continue reading creating home – kitchen
Decorating a full house can be expensive. Going from a small basement suite that I didn’t put any thought into decorating into a 1400 square foot townhouse means that there is a lot more wall space and empty space to decorate. While I am trying to go through things slowly and not do it all … Continue reading how to decorate on a budget
This room is exciting for a lot of reasons, the first being that it is a room that I never thought that I would have. Knowing that I would be one day purchasing a townhouse or condo and not a detached house I figured that my washer and dryer would just be in a closet … Continue reading creating home – laundry/mudroom
One of my favourite things about having to spend all of my time in my home lately is the time that I have to get little things around the house done. Of course some things sadly had to be put on hold like the bathtub that is sitting in my second bedroom instead of the … Continue reading creating home – master bathroom and closet
I have been a homeowner for just over a month now, and it is getting to the point that it is starting to really feel like home. Bit by bit the rooms are coming together and I am starting to feel like it is really mine. I knew I wanted to share my home with … Continue reading creating home – master bedroom
