I'll admit, Insta is my new addiction. I can't be bothered with Twitter anymore and FB, I only peek in for family and friends catch-up pics or repost something I find important or just a good giggle. Not to mention: I have a knitwear design Insta page and FB page, as well as a writing FB page. Have I overdone it??? Now you understand why this blog (and yes, I have a knitting blog too) suffers.<br />
That said, I enjoy looking back on my posts and seeing what I've done over the years. I wonder if Eddie Ross still blogs?<br />
<br />
So let me make this short and sweet. Now that Spring is here, we are back to construction at the cottage and working on the interior (and finishing off the shakes in the exterior eaves).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Let me explain the interior. We've added 8' to the kitchen and screen-in porch (to the right). The plan is to paint the ceiling white, and sand the floor to stain the maple a light colour (Yikes! Lots of work!) The wall behind the wood stove will be knocked out and the tile will be replaced on the floor then a new (maybe white) wood stove with glass installed. My white shaker kitchen from home will be repurposed here. I'm trying to decide if we just repaint all white or do the lowers in a soft gray (like Benjamin Moore's Wickham Gray HC-171). The wall to the right of the door will be replaced with a 12' sliding door to the porch to let all that wonderful light in.<br />

<br />
Below are where we are with the exterior. A ways to go! Well, you know what I'll be up to this summer. Hopefully, next time I post, the cottage will have a lighter breezy feel to it!<br />
<br />
Happy Summer everyone!<br />

Are we too busy to blog? Or has Insta and FB replaced it?<br />
<br />
I enjoy blogging as it gives me another excuse to write, but school (I am an older student working on the last year of my English degree and now have my Certificate in Academic Writing), writing, knitting, and the cottage reno have me busy, busy, busy.<br />
<br />
As this is a Home Decor ID site, let me talk about the reno. We built the cottage 17 years ago from the inside-out. We've reached a certain age where our kids have (almost) flown the coop and our "Shack" needs to grow up too.<br />
We started with this, a knock-down...<br />

Here's the driveway view, where you can see the old vinyl siding on our shed. To the left of the cottage is the porch/kitchen extension. To the right, is the new entrance, new den and behind, the master bedroom.<br />
<br />

That was the case when I discovered Lighthouse Cove Cottage by TMS Architects. We've been thinking about updating our cottage after our home is planned and finished (Yes, always getting ahead of myself) and I pinned this photo for future inspiration:<br />

We love living among the trees with a view to a creek (that often becomes a river) and the fawn and flora that goes along with it. I hadn't expected to see coyotes, owls, hawks, ducks and a plethora of birds (well, yes, birds I expected).<br />
So with renovations in mind, we're drawing floor plans. If the interior doesn't work then renovating the exterior is pointless. With that said, I found a lovely inspiring photo to transform the front of the house on Houzz.<br />

You may remember this post of our before shot. Nice little bungalow we could have been quite happy in, except the wonky kitchen layout. What started as a kitchen reno, turned into an added bungaloft (bedroom above the garage), which turned into a second story and then a tear-down and rebuild for the purpose of selling.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here we are, 2 years living in our dream home, just for kicks, we have sold it and are onto the next project - modern treehouse? But first, pics from the mls tour (forgive my old furnishings - we did not stage, but easy to see what's going up on Kijiji soon).<br />

I find excellent actors quite stiff. Hopefully, they'll relax as the season progresses. I feel their just reciting their lines. That said, the decor of the sets is spot-on (kudos to set decorator <a href="http://www.beauchamp-fontaine.com/#a=0&at=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=2&p=10" target="_blank">Beauchamp Fontaine</a>).<br />
In what I thought was a sunroom of sorts, I discover from last night's viewing is a yurt. I was particularly taken with the armless L-shape sofa (only I think I want arms).<br />

I apologize for not crediting the first three photos (I found on Pinterest a couple months ago). We are not doing uppers, so air stone or brick-laid subway tile could make a nice backsplash, although I'm leaning to stone.<br />

<br />
I think it was Karen's boyfriend Bill's home, whose daughter Mia ripped off Hank's novel, "***ing and Punching." I could be wrong; it's been a while since I've watched it. Whatever you think about the show, the houses/sets were amazing. This is the McKinley House designed by architect David Hertz and a slideshow of this house (and others) can be seen <a href="http://davidhertzfaia.com/mckinley-house/" target="_blank">here</a>. He and his family live here.<br />

If the book and movie wasn't thrilling enough for you (it was for me), then go see the movie to look at beautiful homes, at least. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and movie and apparently, this is Desi's lakehouse:<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After 12 years, two daughters growing up with summers waterskiing, tubing, wake-boarding, camping, swimming and marshmallow roasts, we've decided to put our woodsy cottage up for sale. The girls have grown up and now we find ourselves on the brink of empty-nesting. I turn my attentions to our future and where we can grow into our golden years a little less ruggedly. Enter the Beach House idea! My Pinterest addition is facilitating this new infatuation, so I'll only give you a taste of it here</div>

Imagine this photo without the greenery and flowers. Now take away the chair by the fireplace. Mmm, now it's lacking, right? The chair, while breaking up the symmetry, adds its own interest to the room and how inviting a spot to sit! The palms and flowers gives this otherwise straight-laced living room, an almost tropical feel, but more safari...worldly.</div>

I tried them out on my kitchen, after hiding almost EVERYTHING!!! See what you think...oh, and these tips go for all rooms.<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2>
STYLING</h2>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Put the lid down (yes, that is what they mean...in Bathrooms.</li>
<li>Hide everything - my kitchen is never this sparse.</li>
<li>Put shiny, new, lidded pot on the stove - check.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Use flowers - the more dramatic, the better. I didn't have dramatic, but I did have cute Oxalis aka shamrock.</li>
<li>Play with tablescape arrangements.</li>
<li>Tell a story - now, I feel that if I replaced the bowl of fruit with a wooden cutting board, lots of colourful peppers and a bottle of balsamic vinegar, that would have told a story, a yummy one. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Declutter.</li>
<li>Go for symmetry.</li>
<li>Simple dining settings (I have a hideous old antique table which I'm saving to replace, so I saved you from that sight)</li>
<li>Pull out chairs at a workspace.</li>
<li>Place a tray with books and bowl or vase on ottoman.</li>
<li>As previous mentioned, use natural and artificial light, but no flash. Unfortunately, I got on the phone with my sister and missed the morning light, but you can see that shot <a href="http://roomsbloom.blogspot.ca/2014/03/my-white-kitchen.html" target="_blank">here</a>, along with the progress shots.</li>
<li>AND use rule of third (don't point camera so corner is at the centre of photo).</li>
</ul>

Happy Saturday!</div>

I have to say, I haven't been thrilled with the shots, though I have a beautiful Canon EOS SLR camera. Thankfully, Houzz has some wonderfully articles on how to take great home decor shots that I share with you, here today:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjVPf6ZILsWRBcXDIACux8qBMujNAlk-12v8rb3DPueXCqGsIHryIKsyjNEHJV9PRxrHDDuT13Gw9zuRQbdtfokhRDhTCGti7U_GGh0uLbQq5TSLve9DvRC-SqSBLU9dXocakVUKDhbe-7/s1600/IMG_7338.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjVPf6ZILsWRBcXDIACux8qBMujNAlk-12v8rb3DPueXCqGsIHryIKsyjNEHJV9PRxrHDDuT13Gw9zuRQbdtfokhRDhTCGti7U_GGh0uLbQq5TSLve9DvRC-SqSBLU9dXocakVUKDhbe-7/s1600/IMG_7338.jpg" height="640" width="425" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Shoot 40" off the floor, straight on, without centring corners - use the rule of thirds.</li>
<li>Use natural light and turn off the flash. Mix artificial light (not flourescent) with natural light.</li>
<li>Turn on TV (be choosy about what is freeze-framed there), turn on gas fireplace too (oops, I forgot to), arrange and accessorize furniture (see notes next post on Styling).</li>
<li>Shoot mirrors on an angle.</li>
<li>Use tripod ($20) for nice, slow f-stops (f/8-f/22) - honestly, I'm not that far advanced with my camera, but plan to read the manual.</li>
<li>Set EV to +1 to +2 - that I can do.</li>
<li>Set ISO to 800 to appear lighter - again the manual, as my film speed sets automatically.</li>
</ol>
<div>
So armed with this new info, I tidied up and took the following shots:</div>

Progress....Oooooo, exciting. Why is this the room most women are so focused on? Is it because it's the hub of the house? I like to think so.<br />

Then came the counter choice. I was infatuated with Marble. Nice white Bianco Carrera marble, but hubby said no way; too porous. We've agreed on most things and played the give and take game when we don't agree. This one was tough, as I knew granite was a better choice. But where to find the whitest granite? I researched like a dog with a bone and, yes, they do exist. Then I found Snow Flakes at Olympia Tile. Love at first sight - also called River Rock because of the linear effect. What you don't see is a dot of raspberry here and there, which will hide a little drop of red wine.<br />
