FAMILY NEST IN PROGRESS ///. OUR LIVING ROOM

If you remember from the Before Tour,
our goal with updating the living room was to create a room that was
spacious, comfy and luminous. 
An easy-going space where Legos & Mojitos could mingle.

Here is what we did to make it happen.

A New Way to Think Pink

This room has just the right dose of vintage, modern and bling bling.
Don't you just want to take nap on that soft Womb chair.

Home Chic: Florals

It might still be a tiny too cold here in Montreal to start wearing lighter work clothes, so why not start applying the floral print at home. These ideas might be a little too feminine for my three men at home, but a girl can dream. Notice how stripes and florals even look good on walls.

Action Dad

This week, let's give a High-Five to all you contemporary Dads out there.

Grey's Anatomy

It was back in 2008. I still remember the look on my coworker's face when she asked me what paint color I had picked for my nursery and I answered grey. Grey?!? It's as if she was feeling sorry for my unborn child and his boring future room.

I found grey to be quite organic and a soothing background to all the colorful toys and action that goes on when a baby arrives.

Here's an example of the gorgeous grey nursery of one lucky baby. How about you, ever had grey fever?

Action Mom

Monday mornings are tricky. It feels like starting the same new routine over every week, and by the end of the week, you're glad you've mastered the organized chaos and its little surprises.

Whenever I feel like wearing pajamas to work, I think of all you cool moms out there. This morning was definitely one of those mornings so I went straight to my no-fail website, The Glow.  

Here's a glimpse at their inspiring and fashionable moms.

Stock Up On Stockholm

With all the money I saved from this week's W.O.W tip, I spotted some pretty neat and organic items from Ikea's new 2013 Stockholm collection. Loving all the natural wood pieces and hoping that the quality and prices will meet my expectations so that I can scream 'START THE CAR!!'
