Our Home Made Canadian House & Home!
We’re super excited to share that our humble abode made Canadian House & Home’s amazing website! They approached us a while back to see if they could feature our before and after pics in an online gallery (alongside some pretty amazing designers and fellow bloggers like Grace Bonney of Design Sponge and Courtney Barnes of Style Court). Of course we jumped at the chance. Ok maybe we screamed and convulsed at the chance. And imagine our surprise when a photo of our living room actually made their home page (!) last week (by the way, thanks for all the facebook and twitter messages directing us there so we could see it for ourselves- we gaped at the screen for at least ten solid minutes).
For those of you not privy to the insanely amazing eye candy that is House & Home, allow us to share some of their gorgeous inspiration images…
Love the soft blue pattern on the back wall. Love the oversized baskets. Love the chandelier. Love.
So simple and so soothing. Couldn’t you hunker down with a good book all day in this little corner?
Bold stripes + white furniture + basic bedding + poppy pillow = the perfect balance of classic and crisp.
Orange you glad I included this picture. Har-har. But seriously. Aren’t you? I’m smitten with the matching tangerine lamp shades and those bold curtains on that gorgeous wall of windows.
Um yeah, so they’ve got it going on. And the cool thing is that not only do they offer glossy subscriptions beyond the borders of Canada, they also offer an online subscription which is about half the price and still chock full of all the same delicious and delectable design. And of course trolling their galleries is f-r-e-e so don’t hesitate to drop in and see what all the fuss is about. There’s a reason more and more of our American readers are emailing us to tell us about their love affair with Canadian House & Home (in fact they came up more than once in the comment section of this old post about favorite mags) and we’re beyond honored to be included on their stunning site among some pretty fantastic design greats! We’re blushing. Happy Friday to all!

Congrats on your success. You deserve it! you have worked hard and now you can reap the rewards.
Super cool, it never gets old peeping in to your home!! I have Canadian House and Homes on my fav’s right next to you two!!
Congrats!!
I have been reading your blog about two weeks now, I don’t remember where I heard about it but I find you guys fascinating! My boyfriend and I live in an apartment and we can’t do anything to it but leave it white, so finding splashes of color to spruce up the place cheap is hard to find. So reading your blog really helps me out on how to make it look fantastic :)
Congratulations!!
Yay! That’s awesome. I have been reading H & H for years. There used to be a House and Home TV show too.
Hi Sherry and John!
We love you up here in Canada!
Im so happy for you guys, congrats =)
Your house is amazing and you guys did an awesome job.
cheers,
M. from Calgary.
Congrats!
I really have been loving the white walls being noticed lately like in the cozy corner…we may move soon and I’m thinking of trying a bright crisp white room. only if the floors will work I guess and natural light seems necessary to pull that off…
Congrats! Your house is a great source of inspiration for me and I’m glad the people up north will be inspired as well.
Reading your posts always make me jealous of all you homeowners.
Hi Youngsters! I saw you on there last week {congrats} I recently discovered H&H – love that magazine!
Yay!
Congratulations!
Welcome to Canada!
I subscribe to House & Home and Style at Home as well. I love reading both of these magazines and have stacks and stacks of them in my closet, beside my bed, in the living room. I really need to organize them using the ideas you suggested a short while back.
Have A Happy Halloween!
Congrats to you youngsters. We love H&H up here in the great white north! Great to see a familiar face on their website.
Congrats! Also, I love those orange curtains too. The white and neutrals in the rest of the room really make them POP!
Congratulations. You’ve finally left your mark north of the 44th parallel! House and Home is one of my all time favorite design magazines. I was reading my holiday edition this morning while I ate my cereal!
Yummy eye candy and a big CONGRATS to you!
Also saw you in DIY mag today. Super fun!
Thanks Anna See! So glad you noticed our little Do It Yourself column! We’re already working on our next one, but we’re well overdue to write a post about our first one so here’s hoping we can tackle that soon. Stay tuned…

Super cool that House & Home is featuring your blog! It’s my fav magazine along with another goodie, Style at Home. Our entire country will now know how swell the two of you are! Congrats!

Congratulations from your northern neighbors! I’ve subscribed to H&H for many years and enjoy each and every issue. However, I’m actually enjoying your website just as much!!
Happy Halloween!
The picture of the kitchen with the baskets on top of the shelves? Where is that on the website, I’m trying to find it and I can’t and I love that design!
Thanks,
Tara
