Acclimatizing thru the Winter

Every couple days I have to pinch myself. Life is still seeming so surreal… It’s been a couple months now in Toronto – and I don’t know if I’m completely used to it. At times I catch myself thinking of making plans with friends (in Vancouver), only to have to remind myself I’m not in Vancouver anymore.

I’ve been lucky in the fact that my parents have already visited, my best friend has already booked her tickets to visit and I’m able to go back to Vancouver in the spring… but I still feel strange calling myself a Torontonian. Maybe it’s a good thing – I mean, I feel so at home here that I forget I’m not in Vancouver (although technically, Toronto is my new home).

Maybe it’s the weather? It’s throwing me off. I’m not used to having to wear sunglasses in the Winter! (Although today is a scarves, mitts, toque kind-of day).

Whatever, it is, I’ll get used to it (along with the new last name!).

Interior Design Extravaganza!

That's right, I said 'extranvaganza'.

One of the things I'm most excited about this year (besides the obvious - getting married) is getting myour own place to decorate our own way! From new and vintage furniture choices to subtle and bold wall art - I'm so ready for the challenge. *game face*

Some of the sites that I regularly peruse for inspiration and ideas are:

Daily Dream Decor and The Marion House Book

Both of these sites feature bold ideas and subtle themes that are sure to tickle the fancy of any closet interior designer-wannabe (that's me!). Let the countdown begin!
