chic sunday dinner

Whether you live in your family home, with friends or your hubby, Sunday night dinner is something that can be enjoyed by everyone. It's the one day of the week that in my personal opinion has been selected as family day. It also is the meal that will prepare you for the week ahead so make sure it's a good one. 

How do you make your Sunday night dinner spectacular? Get a few short vases and make an assortment of different flower displays, mix and match your plates (keep with the same colours) and don't forget to accessorize with a few candles!

do you even axe throw bro?

I can't say I've ever thrown an axe before, its not the most common skill one would have. But trust me when I tell you that it was a great way to spend a Sunday. The whole act of throwing an axe in one hand and sipping from a can in the other was super new to me, so it took a little getting used to. A few friends and I went last weekend and had a total blast.

Matt Wilson started an axe throwing league in his backyard years ago and after it became a popular activity, he decided to grow his business outside of his yard. He created B.A.T.L. which stands for Backyard Axe Throwing League where us regular folk can rent a few lanes and have some good old axe throwing fun. They book up pretty quickly so make sure you schedule your party in advance.

I mean seriously, how much more Canadian can you get? 

So have I tempted you? Interested in giving axe throwing a try?

2014 ids preview

I am beyond excited for the Interior Design Show opening night party tonight. This is one of the design events to go to because you can see all the top suppliers and retailers all at once, get to know them personally and there is always lots going on. If you haven't bought a ticket yet, you can get one online here or at the door.

Right away Cocoon Furnishings caught my eye. Their showroom is located Oakville and this evening they will be launching the Aerin Lauder collection that will be exclusive to their showroom in Canada. Their booth is absolutely breathtaking. They combined pieces from Aerin's collection with other items from their store. 

This vintage Persian rug has been bleached in the sun and over-died to be a vibrant green. It looks absolutely stunning against this gold-leaf mirror!

This Aerin server has a stone top - such a good idea! This would keep me worry free from scratches and glass rings. 

Anytime I have a painting project, my go-to is PARA Paints. There are really friendly and their paint is awesome and it's made in Canada (plus they love working with bloggers!) Be sure to stop by their booth tonight for a little gift and their 2014 Colour Trends passport book.
