DIY Backyard Remodel | The Flower Garden

September 4, 2023September 3, 2023
DIY backyard flower garden remodel Montreal lifestyle beauty fashion blog

The backyard is one of my never-ending works in progress. It’s been about 7 years since we moved in and I think it’s pretty much unrecognizable to when we bought the house. This was the original border garden the house came with. Now, I’m not going to tell you about every single thing that happened between then and now. Did a bumble bee fly into my boot and sting me, like, four times while I was gardening once? Yes. Did […]

Roses, asters, gallardia, and bumble bees...The ga Roses, asters, gallardia, and bumble bees...The garden's on its way out, but there's still so much life and colour 🌹🌸🌼🐝 I have to say, I generally don't like high maintenance plants, but I make an exception for roses. You get colour all season long and blooms until frost! And what's a cottage garden without some magnificent roses? 🌹🌹🌹

It's officially fall, which means I'm breaking out It's officially fall, which means I'm breaking out the fall fits aka what we wear when our torsos, shoulders and butt are cold, but our legs and arms are hot 😅 Who am I kidding, I don't know how to dress right now, I'm just constantly changing halfway through the day 🫤  But what are you supposed to do when it's 10 in the morning and 22 in the afternoon??? Do I need tear away pants??? It also doesn't help that I've gotten to the age where I'm almost constantly a little sweaty 😳

I love decking the house out in sunflowers and chr I love decking the house out in sunflowers and chrysanthemums in September! It's the flower lover's last hurrah of the growing season 🌻🌸 P.S. swipe to see what's just out of frame in all these perfect home inspo pics 😅 Remember, pretty pics on instagram are just a curated snapshot of a single  moment/tiny corner of real life! It never tells the whole story!

I've taken a number of seasons off the whole front I've taken a number of seasons off the whole front door display thing, I just could never find the time or the inspiration. But I'm back, baby! Honestly, the only reason there aren't a whole pile of pumpkins here is because the full sized ones aren't available yet 😅🤷🏻‍♀️ Your girl's a tad early and overly excited 🍂🍁🍄

I love September! Another summer is in the books, I love September! Another summer is in the books, fall is just beginning, and the threat of winter has not reared its ugly head yet. I'm all about filling the kitchen with sunflowers and baking apple pie right now 😅 The only thing stopping my complete transformation into a basic fall bitch is I don't like PSLs 😂 My fall drink of choice is still black coffee 🤷🏻‍♀️ Am I even allowed to frollic in the corn maze and run around the pumpkin patches??? I swear I'll wear plaid!

I've recently been inspired to get back to my maxi I've recently been inspired to get back to my maximalist design roots, after a long design fatigue hiatus. After some extension project burnout, plus some general life burnout (and a weird fear of putting nails into the walls of our new addition) I'm feeling ready for some change around the house! Seriously, head to my stories to see the first things I've hung up in our extension, a whole year after it was finished! So unlike me to wait so long 😅 Now I've just got to find some time to go to Home Depot for some paint swatches. Also....anyone wanna go antiquing with me???

New blog post is up! I've been working on my littl New blog post is up! I've been working on my little slice of backyard heaven for seven growing seasons now (well, 6.5, since we moved in at the end of July) and I gotta say, the transformation is remarkable, if I do say so myself 😱 It's just so full of life and colour now, I just love it 🥰 Swipe to see the before, and head to the link in the bio for progress photos and project overviews!

I love it when the sun shines through the sunroom, I love it when the sun shines through the sunroom, it just makes my antique tea cart & all the stuff on it ✨glow✨ 🥰🥰🥰 Swipe to see the dichotomy between my antique-loving old lady heart and the reality of having small children 😅 The flaming Hot Wheels loopdeloop pairs especially well with all the vintage blue and white ceramics 😂
