Hi Everyone!  I hope you all had a nice weekend.  Just thought I’d share a home that I shot for the latest issue of Canadian House & Home …… The home itself is not only beautiful but the family that lives there is too.  Lorna & Rick Penner have four kids to keep them busy along with Rick’s booming building company Rodell Homes Inc.  He is the mastermind behind the building of their house and Lorna is the talent behind all of the interior design.  Obviously you can see she truly enjoys the process of making her house a home.  The relaxed and airy feel of the home is lovely but what I swoon over most is the amount of linen used throughout and those wood beams …….. to die for!  I think you’ll really get inspired like I did while admiring what this home boasts.  Thanks Lorna for all of the yummy cookies and Rick, the coffees were the best ever.

So we headed down south to Seattle for the weekend to enjoy this glorious weather.  It’s like the middle of summer in the beginning of May and I am loving every minute of it!!!  It’s as though the minute we cross the border, we’ve left all of our cares behind us…  I also chose to leave my camera at home in order to travel light.  Which brings me to my post …. our weekend summed up in Instagrams ….  (On a side note, to my dearest friends who live in Seattle …. I promise to visit next time)

We always like to look at real estate too.  You never know, a beach cabin would be quite nice, don’t ya think?  This particular one was built in 1935 and was owned by the same family for 77 years.  Nothing, I mean NOTHING in this cabin has changed.  I couldn’t believe the amount of vintage goods that still existed in the cabin.  The old linoleum floors were beautiful.

Some great restaurants and bars to try out ….. Bastille for good French food and a beautiful interior.  Canon for cocktails, Delancy for pizza.  If your looking for a place that offers cheap food and a good beer try:  Hattie’s Hat.

And to end off a fantastic weekend we watched the marathon run by our house and some much needed gardening.  I’d love to hear what you got up to?
