DIY trim

I know I have been MIA lately, and yes I have been busy planning the Halloween party, working, working and well... more working! But I did have just a little time to add some trim to my 70's front hall closet. It's not quite done yet, it needs to be painted still and the top cupboard is still missing its trim, but so far I am very pleased what a little trim can do, instant update!

Stay tuned my blogger friends as I am working on the kitchen next...

Street Side Treasures

Looky looky what my neighbour decided to toss... I cannot wait to give this a new coat of paint, any suggestions?


Support art

About a little over a month ago my sister (Patti) hosted her first annual art fundraiser at Toronto East General Hospital to raise money for the hospital's patient care and wellness centre. While my sister is studying to become a doctor she also has quite a talent for art. She has been painting, drawing, printmaking and creating art for as long as I've known her. A lot of her artwork adorns our home. I am a very proud sister and thought it would be a great opportunity to showcase her work, as well as my good friends Miranda and Davena (artists as well). Let's all support our local artists.

Patti's artwork was also featured at NIMDAC Heart and Stroke foundation's live auction, where a lot of money was raised to support this great cause.
