About a Girl

About a Girl

I love watching my daughter saunter through the house with a guitar slung around her neck. Sure, her guitar has buttons instead of strings and comes from her dad’s Guitar Hero game, but it still looks pretty badass. This explains why I am in love with this girl...

The modular carpet tiles from FLOR are taking the design world by storm with their new offerings by the renown mid-century textile designer, Alexander Girard. But eh, who cares about the design world when there are regular old parents out there who just need smart,...
Give Hippos a Chance

Give Hippos a Chance

I like the concept of animal decor for the baby nursery but circus animals? No. Noah’s ark? Not so much. Parade of cutesy farm animals? Pass. The Delicate Hippo might just be the key to my heart. This hilarious vinyl wall sticker set from Toronto-based So-deco...

Not Your Average Nursery Decor

My six-year-old and I are at odds when it comes to decorating her room. She wants to paint it bubblegum pink, while I’m fearful of being reminded of Pepto (shudder). Fortunately, a compromise is on the horizon — in the form of the creative new Blik wall...
