<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This really has been one of the toughest years for me that I can remember, for so many reasons & too many to list. In order to move forward, you have to look back, let go, stay strong, worry less, <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">dance</span> more, stay positive & definitely <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">love<i> </i></span>often...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been obsessed with <span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"><i>pastel pink</i></span> for quite some time now. It's probably the reason I made it a colour you can choose for a variety of items in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/2jacs?ref=si_shop"><i>Jac&Jil</i></a> shop on Etsy. With all the Royal Baby buzz lately, and all things British, I'm also obsessing over a little thing called <i>"<a href="http://coffeetea.about.com/od/historyculture/a/High-Tea-Vs-Afternoon-Tea.htm">High Tea</a>"</i>...why not have one of your own? Here's my version of a Sunday afternoon with good friends for High Tea, and maybe a few ideas you may want to add...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you've never visited the online handmade market/s on <a href="http://www.poppytalk.com/">Poppytalk</a>, you need to head over to their site. They've just announced all the vendors and I'm happy to say, you can find <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/2jacs">Jac&Jil</a> there! It's my first one, and I can honestly say, I'm so honoured to be a part of all this beauty! There are AMAZING gifts for all the lovely ladies & mother's in our lives! Just to give you a little taste of what you can find there, I thought I would share a few of my fav's from the market (even though, it was <span style="font-size: large;">very</span> hard to choose from all the goodness!) </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Big plans this weekend! My daughter officially becomes a <i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">TWEEN</span></i> tomorrow as she turns 12! Is it me, or do all mothers of tween girls out there, feel like they are 12 going on 17?! I just want to relate to someone...lol! Anyway...unfortunately for her, with a shiny new set of braces, her teeth are incredibly sore, so the party is being postponed until next weekend when she can at least bite into a cupcake or two! Yeah, it's that bad:( She will however be adorned by her family and showered with lots of love over the weekend with a trip to the Spa for a fresh new 'Do, <i>pretty</i> nails and feet! She's what I would call my in-be'TWEEN'. A mix of girly girl & mountain chic. Here's some great gift ideas for the Tween or Teen girl in your life! </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My creativity lacked a little this year when it came to my Advent Calendar, but I did manage to come up with one that was so simple.

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is definitely one that anyone can do! You could mix it up, with a different linen, or cloth, heck, even dishtowels will do. I did mine in grey & white, because I like to keep things neutral with lots of texture, but you could c</span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">hange up the tags and coordinate it with your colour scheme for the holidays and your set!</span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Oh the glorious madness of the Advent. You know it is! The wheels constantly turning in your head, trying to come up with a new and creative advent for the holidays. At least that describes me anyway...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Funny, when I think of cabins or cottages, Winter and cozy come to mind.

Bits and pieces throughout your home, can help you achieve that feeling~take a look!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today I'de like to share with you a recent e-Design I did for a family in Florida. My client was looking for something light, airy, comfortable and simple. Think Pottery Barn. She loves light blues and aqua's, but changing the wall colour was not an option. However, painting out the entire bottom panelling all white was. The room had amazing bones and architecture already and we had to keep the chandelier, dining table & chairs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The key with keeping things monochromatic is incorporating textures and layers and adding a few pops of colour in the accessories. The client already had a few great pieces like a beautiful rug at the entry way in a grey/blue geometric and a beautiful chair in the office to take the inspiration from. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The final look was right on target with what she wanted and I couldn't be happier! She will add her own photographs in the room for that personal touch I always encourage clients to incorporate. It just goes to show you when you have good bones in a room to start with, great design happens. In the end, it actually ended up about $350 under budget which is even better! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Thankfully I have my own bathroom, but sharing one isn't fun at the best of times, especially when it's a teenager and a tween and it's a small bathroom to boot. So c</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">oming up with more storage was the main issue in there, one that I never heard the end of. It's a very typical upstairs bathroom. Combination tub/shower, one cabinet with a sink, no drawers, and very little storage under the sink to store extra towels, bathroom tissue AND of course, both their toiletries. Because I had been hearing about this storage issue for so long, and with really no room for a vertical standing cabinet or anything similar, that could HIDE their stuff I had to think pretty quickly but come up with something smart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Well I'm definitely all about recycling, and had some left over Spruce plywood from another project I had worked on, stain, and screws. The only thing missing were the brackets and baskets! Found the brackets for $1.97ea, spray painted them with </span><a href="http://www.krylon.ca/ca/eng/products/brushed_metallic/" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;" target="_blank">Krylon Oil-Rubbed Bronze </a><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">(because the white just wasn't doing it for me), stained the wood a dark walnut and then applied a quick drying coat of sealant, and found 4 baskets for $3.99ea that were the perfect width and height. Within the weekend this was done and it is working like a charm-better yet, it's suddenly quieter:)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was a bit nervous to paint stripes, just that ol' sinking feeling kept creeping in, that the paint would bleed to death and look like crap in the end, but at the same time, was pretty stoked to do it. Of course I had a little bit of a <i>hiccup, </i>but that was quickly put to rest knowing I could cover it up. Oh, I'm definitely not suggesting you cover up your mistakes, but hey, s@#!t happens and it just worked out <strike>this time,</strike> that my project allowed me to do that:) This is pretty straight forward, and I know many of you have painted stripes, so this is just a quick recap of how it all went down!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you have been following along, (</span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">http://refreshint.blogspot.ca/2012/09/bedroom-makeover-part-1.html), </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I made over my daughter's bedroom and promised a few tutorials. Here is one easy headboard project anyone can do! I choose to do it in a white waffle weave cotton against a striped wall. Depending on how many panels you choose to make, (I chose to do 15-as my daughter wished), but you can do the full 25 to the ceiling! It can be time consuming, but the end result is pretty amazing and so worth it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><u>Step by step instructions:</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red;">Step 1.</span> Start by cutting out your fabric squares 16" x 16" and foam pieces 12"x 12". I found using a utility knife did the trick quite well for cutting my foam, as long as you have a new sharp blade. Half way through, I switched to a new blade. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red;">Step 2.</span> Put the foam square on top of your 12" x 12" wood panel. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The whole inspiration came from the <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/green-home/hgtv-green-home-2012-master-bedroom-pictures/pictures/index.html" target="_blank">HGTV Green Home 2012</a> Master bedroom. You can see why! We added a spin on it to my daughter's liking and it turned out fabulous! From this point on, more cushions were added, more layering on the bed, new nightstands, lamps and accessories were added. So stayed tuned for more! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I got myself some new (to me) chairs-6 to be exact-which I wanted, (actually it was 8), but that my friends is hard to find, especially ones you like & if you're on a budget like me. I searched high and low for the right style, shape, height & comfort level in a set and finally found them for a STEAL! I find Craigslist can either be your worst enemy or your best friend and luckily this time, we're pals. Here's a pic of the chairs:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now the question is, should I paint them or not? There are so many options with these that I had to put together an idea board so I could narrow it down, but the possibilities are almost endless AND I happen to like them all which does NOT help! See what I mean?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I realize I have more upholstery on mine, and they are not Chinese Chippendale Chairs, but you get the idea. I had every intention of painting them, so why am I so indecisive now? Do I like the natural look? Not sure. I want the bistro look, but I'm certainly not afraid of colour, so that is an option. I am definitely changing the upholstery, because well let's face it...it's seen better days and really isn't my style anyway. What is my style you ask? For those that know me, you guessed right-call it what you like-rustic, eclectic, scandinavian, with a bit of industrial. Phew! Is this even a style? Well it's mine, but I need a bit of advice now, so I am reaching out to you, my fellow bloggers, readers and friends alike...what do you think I should do? Paint? If so, what colour? No paint? Upholstery suggestions? Geometric, stripes, one colour, two colours? ACK! My walls are white, dining table is a MCM darker teak. <span style="font-size: large;">HELP!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Green, green, glorious green. In particular, deep green or Malachite. I have seen it paired with red, deep blue and even with a white background (gotta have in my home), and I must say it IS pretty glorious. What's your take on the jewel tones in the home or in fashion? Would you embrace it or ditch it? To me it even adds that organic feel, which I love. Here's a board I put together with what I think you're going to see a lot more of. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When you think of <i><b>Industrial Style</b></i>, hard surfaces usually come to mind; concrete, metals, brick & exposed beams. Adding the right lighting, as well as some softer elements keeps it cozy and adds some warmth, especially now that Fall is upon us. So don't be afraid to add a few pillows and soft fur throws or rugs. I've created a mood board that I think represents Industrial Style...I love mixing metals, adding a bit of colour & keeping accessories to a minimum. </span></div>
