Apartment 915 - Inspiration

West Elm Window Day Bed

Modern Chic Home

I have been trying to find a couch, no larger than 7 feet wide, although I have the space to one that is a little bit deeper. I have had trouble finding one that is everything I am looking for - cheap, comfortable, pretty, well made, original...go figure, right? I have also had my heart set on white, especially in case i decide to change my colour scheme in the future. I figured white was easiest for me. Until I remembered the beer drinking, potato chip crunching, and sloppy eating boys with dirty feet and a habit for spilling, who tend to inhabit my couch for hours on end watching movies and playing video games. On occasion - I also call them my best friends! [it's a bit of a contradiction to be one of the boys when you have such a feminine style I guess, haha]

So I quickly realized white just wasn't practical for me when it comes to a piece so often used. Then I found this little beauty at WEST ELM! Its a daybed, which will make it great for overnight guests. I am thinking I can buy it in white, and then the mattress cover can always be removed and washed easily. I can even buy covers in a few colours! Then jazz it up with some pretty pillows. Perfect.

Homemade Soups

Broccoli

Cauliflower 

Mushroom

Butternut Squash - my FAVOURITE.

Once or twice a year I spend a day making about 5 or 6 large batches of homemade soups. Its something I do with my mom! When finished I pour single servings of soup into ziploc bags, and then freeze them lying down(so they freeze flat, to save space). Its a great way to always have soups on hand which are delicious AND quick.

I am thinking something like this would be great for my living room! There is a store on Queen West that has something similar in their window display. This seems like something I would be able to re-create myself, and I am trying to more diy projects. Its something I keep telling myself I am going to do, so its time to actually do it. I feel like making some things myself, or at least adding some personal touches, will also make the pieces in my home mean a little bit more and have more value to me, and thats important! 

I will keep you updated on my new diy project. Im excited to get started on it!

Toronto Decor

Just wanted to spotlight a Toronto spot that I love!

Would adore having one of those prints on my walls. The piece to the left that you can't see is the same print done in pinks.
