I will never forget September 11, 2001. I’m Canad

I will never forget September 11, 2001. I’m Canadian, but that day never felt distant. We watched in disbelief, grieved with our American neighbours, and stood together. Years later, visiting the 9/11 Memorial & Museum made the loss feel even more personal. The names. The missing-person flyers. The faces. The remains of Ladder 3. The Survivors’ Stairs. The pieces of steel and ordinary street signs pulled from the wreckage. What stays with me most is that they were not numbers. They were people — families, friends, coworkers, parents, children. And in the middle of unimaginable loss, there were extraordinary acts of courage and humanity. 25 years later, we remember. We stood with you then. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
We remember. ❤️

Unpopular home opinions I’ve earned the right to h

Unpopular home opinions I’ve earned the right to have. 🏡 After years of decorating, renovating, changing my mind, changing it back, and learning what actually makes a home feel good… I have a few opinions. 😂 Half white, half wood isn’t a compromise.
Velvet and dogs can absolutely coexist.
And no, everything does not need to match. Some of these you’ll agree with.
At least one of them will probably annoy you. 😅 So tell me — which number are you agreeing with most, and which one are you fighting me on? #InteriorDesignIdeas

Sammie and I want to share our new coffee table ottoman! 🐾💚 The layers are coming together, and this piece feels so right in the room. I love the soft pattern, the traditional shape, and how it brings all of the greens and warm tones together. Thank you @besthomefurnishings — we love how this room is shaping up! #EnglishCottageStyle #CollectedHome #EnglishCountryHome #TraditionalInteriors #CottageInteriors

Trying to give our 2001 home a little English cottage soul. 💚Follow along as we add the layers. Collected art, soft greens, warm woods, old-fashioned florals… all the little things that make a room feel like home. Still evolving, always. Would you call this English cottage, English country… or simply collected? #EnglishCottageStyle #EnglishCountryHome #CollectedHome #CottageInteriors #TraditionalInteriors

Maybe it’s not about making our homes look perfect

Maybe it’s not about making our homes look perfect. Maybe it’s about filling them with the things and the people that make them feel like ours. 🤍 Family photos. Well-loved books. Kids’ artwork. Layers, colour, memories and cozy evenings at home. What would you bring back? #AHomeWellLoved #CollectedHome #HomeIsAFeeling #LivedInHome #CozyHome
