Who doesn’t love before and after photos? I can’t get enough of them and could look at them all day. These are from www.oedesignbuild.com and I thought I would share. I ran across this site as I was surfing the net and was impressed with the work that this company does. I’m no where near Toronto, but I can still appreciate a wonderful renovation when I see it. Enjoy!

We all know that I like to get a good deal on things that I find, but every once in a while I treat myself to something a little more pricey. This time the thing that I really wanted, and have been eyeing for a while, was a set of Gracious Goods canisters for my kitchen. I was looking something elegant and charming to keep my favorite cookies, candies and snacks fresh, and I found the perfect set (pictured right) on Horchow.com. I also found that Gracious Goods changed their name to the GG Collection. But thankfully, the change of name didn’t change their beautiful designing. The sliver/bronze color of these canisters blends well with the modern style of my house, but still holds that ornate, classic style that the GG Collection is famous for, and the look that I couldn’t wait to add to my home.
I love my new canisters!

My house is “Goldilocks Perfect” – not too big, not too small – it is just right. But even Goldilocks Perfect has its drawbacks. My perfect-sized house doesn’t leave much room for an entryway table and I needed a simple and compact place to keep all my “leaving the house necessities” – keys, mail, shopping lists, or anything I need to remember to take with me when I run out the door. I wanted something that was out of the way and multifunctional.
This is where www.chiasso.com comes in and helps me find the perfect piece. Their disc shelf/mirror is a great option for my home. Its style is cool, modern and original. Since it hangs on the wall it is out of the way, and all my things are at eye level so I remember to grab them on my way out the door. And talk about multifunctional - it is a mirror, shelf and work of art all in one. My house is once again Goldilocks Perfect.
