a little life lately šŸ«¶šŸ¼ mostly from the kitchen be a little life lately šŸ«¶šŸ¼ mostly from the kitchen because apparently that’s where I spend half my day šŸ‚ā˜•ļø

Controversial thought: I think it’s kind of funny how much hate neutral homes get these days, and how everyone is suddenly so ā€œanti-trendā€, when the whole mismatched, collected, colourful, maximalist look we’re seeing everywhere right now is... also a trend? šŸ˜‚

and don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a collected home and mixing old/new, different woods, textures, patterns, all of it. But the pendulum always swings, and in 5 years we’ll probably all be making fun of something we’re obsessing over right now too!

and there’s room for all of it, plus at the end of the day, shouldn’t we just be decorating our homes with things we actually love, instead of loving one thing to acting like it’s a decorating crime? šŸ‘€šŸ‘€

#ad A little basement update! šŸ§øā˜•ļøšŸ¤Ž We decided to #ad A little basement update! šŸ§øā˜•ļøšŸ¤Ž

We decided to turn our basement kitchen into more of a hangout space for the kids, their friends, and us. Somewhere for game nights, snacks, movie nights, and whatever else we end up doing down here šŸ«¶šŸ¼

I brought in this beautiful (and affordable!) walnut dining table (from @homcom_ca by @aosom_ca ) along with a set of their upholstered chairs

I’m LOVING how everything is coming together! The table even extends to seat up to 8 people when we need a little extra room, which is pretty perfect for our large family šŸ™ŒšŸ„°

We’ve already put it to good use, and I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most-used, well-loved spots in the house. Still a few things I’d love to add, but it’s feeling a lot more like us now!

What would you add to a basement hangout space like this? Hanging chairs?? Or is that too much? Haha! Use my code ✨MEGAN15✨ for 15% off at Aosom.ca!

I just love this lived-in house of ours šŸ„°šŸ«¶šŸ¼ We re I just love this lived-in house of ours šŸ„°šŸ«¶šŸ¼

We really did find the perfect home for all of us. Five kids, a handful of pets, my mom too, and somehow room for everyone haha. We moved in August and the last few months have been so, so good. There’s something pretty wonderful about finding your person and realizing how easy and fun life can be with someone who’s genuinely kind and thoughtful. It’s a kind of happiness I hadn’t experienced before, and I’m just really grateful for this little life we’ve madeā¤ļø

I’ve had a few questions about our home and family lately, so here’s a little Q+A along with a roundup of some cozy corners around here!

ā™” **Does your mom live with you?**
Yes! There’s essentially a mother-in-law suite on our property, so we’ve been making a beautiful, cozy little home for her there. Having her so close has been really wonderful, especially for the kids.

ā™” **How many kids do you have?**
We have five between the two of us! And honestly, one of my favourite parts of all of this has been seeing how much they love each other. They’re genuinely best friends, and now they get to grow up as family šŸ˜­šŸ«¶šŸ¼

ā™” **Is your house finished/always this organized?**
Absolutely not hahaha. There’s still so much I want to do around here, and I promise you it’s not nearly as tidy as Instagram might suggest. Angles, people. Angles šŸ˜‚

ā™” **Is that a rug on your wall?**
Yes šŸ˜‚ I DIY’d a rug into a tapestry of sorts because I wanted some cozy texture and art on that wall. It was really just an experiment, but I actually love how it turned out! No idea what I’ll eventually do with that space, but for now the rug is staying haha

Anyway, just a little life and home update mixed in with all the cozy things lately. Feeling very lucky to call this place (and these people) home ā¤ļø

Love you guys! xx

A tiny sneak peek of the basement space, I finally A tiny sneak peek of the basement space, I finally got it cleaned up and organized (yay!) so I’ll share that asap!

I had a few messages about the banana bread loaf recipe so I’ll share that in my stories & save to my gf highlight too!

And if anyone was curious about the pumpkins, it’s been around for ages and works so good! Mix baking soda and paint, then paint it on šŸ‚ it creates a textured terra cotta like finish and sticks amazing to plastic! 

Lmk if I missed anything ā¬‡ļø Happy Tuesday!

So what kinda fall cookies are we baking this year So what kinda fall cookies are we baking this year? šŸ‚āœØā˜•ļø

Sugar cookies, or is that strictly a Christmas-y treat? I did buy some cute pumpkin cookies to make with the kids (but those don’t count) šŸ˜… and then my homemade hack for store bought cinnamon buns is phenomenal (but those also don’t really count as baking either haha)

Not to be dramatic… but the before of this bedroom Not to be dramatic… but the before of this bedroom was giving ā€˜Buzz your girlfriend, woof’ energy šŸ˜¬šŸ«¶šŸ¼ The grey walls, the lighting, the complete lack of personality… we’ve come a LONG way lol

NOW she’s soft, a little girly, glowy and SO cozy. šŸ„¹šŸ¤Ž The new bamboo blinds from @viewtailor are such a pretty finishing touch and I love how much warmth they bring into this space!

And your reminder that you can absolutely install your own blinds!! I’ve done SO many throughout our home now and it’s honestly one of the easiest ways to save some money. These were no exception!
