I would totally commission a portrait of my pets. Because Felix and Chip, the family cats, have been momentous enough to immortalize. Like the multiple times Felix, in a quest for adventure, flew off the balcony, escaped from cages or Houdini-ed out of his harness. Or Chip, who got stuck IN the wall, causing us to saw it open to free her. True stories!

Thought I would share a happy corner of my home. The Boo and I spend a LOT of time in the open space that is the living room, kitchen and dining room. I recently purchased a few cushions for the sofas from Etsy shop Milk & Cookies. Previously we had four identical, shiny red cushions – two on each love seat -  but they somehow got shredded over the years.  Eager to inject a new dose of pretty into my life, I decided to switch it up with some mix-and-match patterns. My favourite is probably the grey and white Kelly Wearstler print cushion in the second photo below. I’d like to eventually add a few more with shaggy or sparkly textures. What a great way to make change in your home without a big money or time investment.

I wanna know: what’s your favourite room in your home?

Here’s something fun to do while you’re sitting around the fire this Christmas. At the request of the folks at Daily Candy, Mélangerie has created this adorable parlour game that’s a cross between fortune teller, telephone and Pictionary. You can download the rules and game pieces to cut out right here (PDF). Have fun!

A little while back I wrote a post that showcased some lovely art featuring giraffes. Since then, I noticed a whole lot of art featuring foxes! Cunning yet gorgeous, it’s no wonder so many artists have been inspired by foxes. Here are some of my favourites:
