Fabulous Friday!

Happy Fabulous Friday. Hope you had a great week. Ottawa is finally starting to feel like spring. On Monday I was wearing my snow boots and today, the tulips are starting to peak out. It's supposed to be a gorg, warm spring weekend. Yes! It was my birthday this week so I’m not complaining about my week over here. I took the day off with Mr. Fix-It and we spent it roaming the Market downtown and pub-hopping. My parents came over for dins {Mr. Fix-It made it, which is so nice because he's not the cook in our family}. He apparently has something else planned for us tonight. He’s sneaky that guy J

Here has what has caught my eye this week that I think might catch yours.

One Room Challenge is back and I’m crushing on this home office inspiration

Is the warmer weather getting you excited for those nurseries to open? A few tips before you buy plants. 

A pretty spring home tour 

A wish has a large impact on both the child their family. It can help strengthen their families, improve mental and emotional health, reduce the fear and anxiety among a wish child’s sibling and give hope, strength and joy to the child. There are so many ways you can be involved.

Ottawa families, mark your calendar for May 10-15^th, the Ottawa Children’s Festival is a great event for families. 

The festival takes place at LeBreton Flats Park and its filled with music, theatre, dance and more. Its super fun.

According to the fashion gurus, sneakers and floral dressers is this year's summer combo. 

You guys always impress me with your DIYs. I started this blog in the hopes for others to feel inspired to create beautiful spaces, pick up paint brushes and feel house proud. A loyal reader Carlos, has decided to whip out his label maker, clean out the spice cupboard and doesn’t it looks fab? Clean & organized. He picked up this spice shelving. Great job Carlos.

And...Kelly and her hubby took a dresser they had in their house that was ready for the bin…sanded, painted, added some funky retro legs and hardware. Voila! Fresh, fabulous, sophisiticated. Beauty. I love it. Kelly told me that it's more greenish than yellow that's come out in the photo.

Please keep sharing your DIYs, makeovers & designs. I love seeing them and I'm happy to share them here.

 

This weekend I’m going to organize the front hall closet. You can’t even see the floor anymore in there. My kids are clearly sick of putting their hats and mitts in the baskets and throwing them anywhere in there. I don’t blame them, I’m sick of doing it too. With the snow gone “fingers crossed it stays that way” its time to take it apart, clean it out, find the floor and give the closet room to breathe. Are you feeling the spring clean this weekend?

Keep it beautiful.
