Living Room Gallery




I figure I owe you a little interior decorating fix. You have all been so patient, reading as I go on and on about my trip to Italy, the details of my vacation and my (many) meals. Thank you, readers, for still being here.

It's July and many of you are suffering from an intense heat wave that has not reached British Columbia. My understanding is that everywhere else in Canada it is too hot to cook, work or do any activity that requires much body movement. Here in Vancouver, I could go for an hour jog and still require a sweater and scarf. I have passed the vitamin D-deprived depression state and am now deep into the angry and bitter stage, the one where I have lost all hope that I will ever see sunshine again.

For you lucky tanned and freckled people out there, I guess all that is left for you to do for is take it easy in the comfort of your air-conditioned home and look at some lovely photos online. This post is a big one. I have been saving photos of my favourite websites without sharing them with you for far too long and it's about time that I give you some ideas to help refresh your living rooms. The snowy cold weather will return at some point and by then, you will be ready for renovation projects to keep you busy during those long winter months. In the meantime, enjoy the sun for me, would you?
