DIY Weeping Willow Mural

DIY willow tree mural Montreal lifestyle fashion beauty blog 1

If you’re somewhat familiar with our house, you saw this post coming when I announced I was pregnant! Not only did I paint a lemon tree mural in Theo’s bedroom before he was born, but I also made a Chinoiserie wallpaper accent wall in our bedroom, and the whole house is basically covered in nature/tree motifs. When it came to brainstorming what to do in the new nursery, I toyed with some fun ideas (like a watercolour sunset accent wall) […]

New blog post is up! Now that I'm on mat leave, I' New blog post is up! Now that I'm on mat leave, I've finally been able to finish my baby room mural project! (sort of) When it came to deciding what to do with the room, I kept going back to my tried and true tree/nature motifs. Truth be told, I didn't love it when I finished, but also don't have the energy to do anything about it, haha πŸ˜… But looking closer, it kind of reminds me of those old watercolour illustrations in books from the 20s or something, which honestly is so me 😊 I didn't even realize that's what I was doing! In the end, I think I love it ❀️ Read all about the process via the link in the bio!

The first of hopefully many summer bouquets from t The first of hopefully many summer bouquets from the garden 😍 Obviously, the garden will not reach its full or even typical potential this year, with all the construction going on in the backyard, but most of my roses have buds on them, a couple of delphiniums made it through the backfilled dirt, and lots of fun perennials made it out of the destruction with a renewed vigour! I am hopeful we'll still have a colourful show this summer 🀞

The first of the summer vegetable garden harvest 😍It's funny, the reason I got into vegetable gardening is probably not the reason you think. It was actually because I was disappointed in the amount of packaging that buying produce at most grocery stores creates, particularly plastic waste. I mean, I would buy a three-pack of cucumbers and each individual cucumber would be wrapped in plastic, PLUS all three of them would be wrapped together in more plastic. Like....WHY??? (I mean I know why, it forces you to buy a set amount of produce all at once) I know it seems like such a small thing, but if you can pick an option that has no packaging or at least compostable/biodegradable packaging, I really feel like it makes a difference! Maybe eventually, companies will get the idea that we don't want so much wasteful packaging in products that really don't need it.

I can't believe it's already June! Spring is just I can't believe it's already June! Spring is just flying by 😳 I'm officially on maternity leave, and there's a lot of sitting and lying down in my life at the moment. Honestly, it's glorious! But not pictured here is my neverending exhaustion πŸ˜“ Between the body pains and night sweats (finally got the heat pump reinstalled today πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰) I'm sleeping terribly! And there's so much going on around the house, baby furniture to build, a toddler to wrangle...All I can say is, I'm so happy I get so much mat leave, and can start it months before I give birth!

New blog post is up! Things with the house extensi New blog post is up! Things with the house extension are moving along so quickly 😁 I do believe all the heavy machinery work is now complete and we're almost ready for windows and roofing 😱 And I got a surprising amount done in the backyard this month! I wasn't expecting to be able to do too much gardening this season, but I've got my container veggie garden going, many annuals and perennials in the ground, and we planted four out of the five new trees I got 🌳 I'm so excited with all this progress we've made! Link to more photos and play-by-play garden/construction action is in the bio!

My two-year-old just got out of bed to tell me that he's trying to go to sleep. Not, "stop being so loud, I'm trying to sleep!" Just, "I'm trying to go to sleep." Are you though? πŸ™„

Okay, why is lying down so amazing?? It's like my body's just meant to be horizontal at all times. I refuse to participate in this vertical-ist world any longer!

Something that really bugs me in how people sometimes interact with me is the types of compliments they might give. For example, I paint occasionally and I would much prefer someone say, "I like your painting" than "You're such a good painter."
