I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would kill to be in all that snow. Our winters in Ottawa are super snowy too, but with this oppressive heat wave (44 degrees (Celsius) = 111 degrees Fahrenheit) I wish it were February right now!

I know, I know....typical Canuck....always complaining about the weather. It's not the heat, it's the humidity. :)

I am not normally a fan of blue paint, but boy, that kitchen just ROCKS. I love the pops of red.....and of course, pugs rule.

Yeah, there is a lot of lighting, eh? I guess it's because I live in an older townhouse (built in the '70s) and the potential for overhead lighting is almost nonexistent.

Two floorlamps in the living room = EQ3
Orange light in the living room = Kijiji
Teak light in the living room = Kijiji
Floorlamp in the office = Kijiji
Ceiling light in the bedroom = vintage piece from my parents
Floorlamp in the bedroom = Kijiji

I also bought a ceiliing to floor DNA light with twelve bulbs(Kijiji again) but it's pretty heavy, so I'm trying to figure out where/how to hang it. Any advice would be appreciated!

The teak piece that the tv is on is from my parents - they have another one just like it that I've been trying to get my hands on for years, but they just won't budge.

It is an Italsofa, bought from Colonial Furniture here in Ottawa (they're out of business now).

Thank you so much for the generous and lovely comments. I am really in shock that pictures of MY house are on AT - I am always so inspired by everything on this site.

My puggies Rosie (the boy crazy one) and Lola (the one with the tongue) say hi to everyone too. :)
