little bungalow is so cute!

This is a MUST to check out: little bungalow

Kendal and her partner in crime, Pierre, have created (and continue to work on) a most wonderful space in the city! It's finds like these that make me miss my TO roots. 

There are many terms for the Big Smoke, and having lived out west for a good number of years now, I hear more and more expressions {yes, expressions, colourful, not always the most flattering, expressions) for back east.

But what many people fail to see, is that not everything in the Tdot revolves around being a crazed, workaholic, grumpy, tail light watching, concrete consuming, salt stain cleaning, cog in the wheel...

There are many MANY, colour swatch comparing, outside the box thinking, happy, fun boot wearing, sunshine seeking, retreat building, inspiring, members of the community!

This lovely couple is doing just that! They have found happiness & resourcefulness in their little gem in the city - and when space is at a premium, every element comes into play. Follow their path on how to not be limited by the number of square feet you occupy.

I'm also honoured to be included as a part of their inspirational dwelling! Kendal recently purchased my Algonquin Trails Map, as a gift for Pierre, and it now resides happily in their home. Read more about their holidays here. Thank you Kendal! Love how everything is coming together in your place.

Love this! Ben Heine a Belgian artist that I came across on Pinterest today! Gawd I love Pinterest...

Ben's 'Pencil vs Camera' project is absolutely amazing. I love how the imaginative world of pencil is completely in balance with the photo. Brilliant! Limited prints are available online.

I am also mesmerized by the detail obtained in his 'Digital Circlism' project. The scale is perfect. It makes me want to climb into each image to enjoy them even more!
