Painting the Roses White: September 2011
http://www.paintingtheroseswhite.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wall decor always poses a challenge to me for some reason and the nursery wall decor was no exception. I fell in LOVE with these little vintage chalkboard wall hangings on the RH Baby website and so I ordered the large rectangle one with a special spot in mind to hang it! Credit: RH Baby and Child.

I admit they are a little off but it just add...

Painting the Roses White: Bathroom Update
http://www.paintingtheroseswhite.com/2010/08/bathroom-update.html
I have to be honest and admit that what I thought would take a weekend has turned into a 3 week ordeal! The tiling part was by far the easiest part of this reno believe it or not! Since we are SO close to crossing the finish line on this one I thought I would do a quick update on the floor portion and leave the final reveal for a later day. Then I screwed down a sub floor with 1/4" plywood. Hey lookie who is helping me? Yes a rare sight but I had to snap a photo of this! It's definitely not perfect but i...

Painting the Roses White: November 2010
http://www.paintingtheroseswhite.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
What are Bryophytes you might ask? Well the easy answer is Moss (and Hornworts and Liverworts)! And it just so happens one of my University courses this semester is all about these tiny little plants! One of our lab classes we went on a field exercise to collect various species of these guys to get a feel for their diversity! So after the day was done and I had collected over 20 different kinds of moss, I had an idea! Why not make my own moss book plates? These are easy to find via google). I can't belie...

Painting the Roses White: Bluestone Floors
http://www.paintingtheroseswhite.com/2010/08/bluestone-floors.html
As far as stone flooring goes, white carrara marble makes my heart go pitter patter. I have been putting money in a jar for a long time now so that one day we can redo our master bathroom floor in this gorgeous marble stone. BUT I think I have another favorite now! Has anyone heard of Bluestone? Well I sure hadn't! When we were home in Victoria, my step mom Leah offered us their leftover honed bluestone tiles they had! And we all know you can't beat free! I love the stone against white walls! Wow, that d...

Painting the Roses White: Sink or Float?
http://www.paintingtheroseswhite.com/2010/08/sink-or-float.html
I have been a busy bee over the past few days and I thought I'd update everyone on our bluestone floor reno! All I can say at this point is that it turned into a WAY bigger job than we expected and I actually swore the other day that I never wanted to pick up a tile or mortar again for as long as I live LOL! Okay I already take it back. BUT I am really needing everyone's help on making a certain decision. Here is the first one. Cons: it only has one hole for the taps which means I have a lot less choice ...

Painting the Roses White: Birdcage Atrium
http://www.paintingtheroseswhite.com/2010/10/birdcage-atrium.html
A couple of Sundays ago my good friend Holly. And I hit up an antique auction to score some new treasures! Since I accidentally slept through the first two hours of the auction (oopsie) I rushed to meet with Holly and see if there was anything sweet left! And luckily there was! It seemed like birdcages were a popular item that day since they had 3 there up for auction! Duh duh duh. You guessed it, I'm now the proud owner of that birdcage. and a beautiful old mantle mirror, spending a total of $70. I love...
