Fresh New Start...


Hi everyone, I am sorry that it has been so long since I have last blogged! I have had so much going on lately + no internet so no blogging was possible!! On June 1st my boyfriend and I moved to Toronto from Montreal, let me just say that was pretty hectic. It actually led us to sleep on our floor for a few days as the movers only showed up on the 4th of June, yeah
i wasn't ove
rly excited about that.... We finally got all of our boxes, had enough time to create a completely disastrous mess, and then on the 6th we were off to Italy for a wedding, so it has literally been Go, Go, Go for the last two weeks or so!! Italy was so incredible, (I will be posting pics later this week) and it was my first time so it was a truly special experience. I have been wanting to
visit Italy for years and so I guess I had really high expectations, well it did not dissapoint whatsoever. Everything about Italy is incredible! The first day we were lucky enough to t
ake the train out to Tuscany, and then we headed off to Florence(Firenze), it was so stunningly beautiful I felt awestruck. We sat and had Bellini's in the 100 degree heat, ate beautiful food, and saw all of the amazing architecture, This was basically the way we went about each day. It was relaxing, and a fantastic escape from the real world. Everything about Italy is completely idealic. The people and beautiful, the language, the food, the drink, the scenery I could go on, and on... Anyways we are finally home, and I am so happy to had internet access again although
it was somewhat
relaxing to just let go from two weeks! So here are some of the pics of our new condo- there is so much work to be done, any ideas? We are thinking a light blue so far, as well we have painted a blackboard which is so much fun! I love i
t! By the way most of these pictures were actually taken pre move, so most of the stuff isn't ours it was the previous owners & also explains why there is no disaster in some of them! Okay, I am off to buy some flowers!

How To: Chalk Board Wall



Here is a great way to spruce up your kitchen- I can't wait to do this in our new apartment!! Here are the instructions:


Tools and Supplies:
  • Latex Chalkboard paint
  • Roller
  • Painters tape
How To:
  1. Determine the wall space you would like to make into a chalkboard. Sam chose to make our chalkboard the width of the countertop. She chose clean lines and a large size to create drama.
  2. Tape off area with painters tape.
  3. Apply 2 coats letting the first coat dry completely before applying the second.
  4. Once completely dry, you can use chalk to write menus and messages on the long lasting enamel surface. Wipe clean with a damp cloth when you want to change your writing.
