SharkPartner Listen, you are not allowed to keep doing this the hard way. AD @sharkhomeca says so, and when they tell me to let someone (or something) else vacuum for me, I’m certainly not going to say no. Between the kids and the husband, my floors have genuinely seen things. And “vacuum the whole house” kept living on my weekend list... never getting done. Which meant mopping didn’t even make the list. So I got a duplicate instead. Meet William Sharkspeare, the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop with NeverTouch Pro Base. She vacuums, mops, gets the edges and corners I always miss, lifts her mop pads over rugs automatically, and empties herself when she’s done. I don’t touch a thing. She runs after the morning rush and once the kids go to bed. She is literally me duplicated. If you want the link to this efficient chore-do-er, let me know I can send it right over. Or better yet, send this to your family since Mother’s Day is coming up and I can’t think of a better gift than a duplicate of you! 🫶 SharkRobotPowerDetect

Quince Summer Staples - new release round up

#LTKcanada #LTKsummer

It’s girls afternoon and now you have the perfect finishing touch 🤌🏼. Keep the bevies cold and the aesthetic high.

I love adding the littlest special details that almost feels aspirational but is so very attainable.

Bringing this back because everyone needs to know how darn good this patio rug is. I’ve have it for a year now. Left it outside through a lot of rain and possibly a little too far into the fall but it’s held up perfectly.

She’s a beaut. Did I mention she’s on sale?!

#LTKcanada #LTKsummer #LTKhome

No walls were harmed in the making of this video.
Easy peasy ways to make your room look bigger include:
🪄 Mirrors. Place them across from a window if you can. The light bounces, the room doubles. One large mirror does more than a gallery wall of small ones. Every time.
🪄 Curtains hung high and wide. The rod goes near the ceiling, not the window frame. And the panels extend past the window on both sides. It makes the window look bigger, the ceiling look higher, and the whole room feel intentional.
🪄 Rug size. If your rug is too small, your room looks smaller. All furniture legs on the rug, or at minimum the front legs. A rug that floats in the middle of a room with nothing touching it is the enemy.
None of these require a contractor. Just a measuring tape and a little shopping trip.
Save this for your next room upgrade 😘

#LTKcanada #LTKhome

Your builder grade home is not the problem. I promise.

No renos. No big budget. No contractor. Just a few intentional swaps that make your space feel like you actually live there and like it’s actually YOURS not just cookie cutter.

Here’s some easy tips 👇

✦ Add window treatments. Floor to ceiling if you can. It makes the ceilings look higher and the whole room look finished.

✦ Layer your textiles. Throw pillows and a blanket on the couch = instant warmth. Don’t overthink it.

✦ Kill the overhead lighting. You know when the “ugly lights” that come up at 2 am after a night out in your 20s… well today’s ugly lights are the overhead lights.. so we’re keeping the off. Done. Never again.

✦ Add lamps, sconces, or candles anywhere you can.

If you’ve been putting off making your space feel like home because you think you need a full reno first… you don’t. Start here.

Save this + send it to a friend who wants a little main character energy in their no character home 👆

Ohh and let me know if you need any inspo or links I’m here to help!!

#LTKcanada #LTKhome

Your home is probably your biggest monthly expense. So why are you spending your weekends anywhere else?

Mine is my favourite place to be and honestly? Making it feel like me and then actually enjoying it is the best investment I’ve made.

So save this to send this to your friends next time someone asks why you’re not going out 🥰

You didn’t think I’d let you slide without ambiance in your outdoor space did I?! That’s so silllllllly. Ambiance is a requirement everywhere. Trust me.

#LTKcanada #LTKsummer

Fair warning: this outdoor dining setup will do two things. Ruin eating inside for you, and make your home the gathering spot for the summer.

Because eating in Provence without getting on a plane? Turns out it’s possible. I’m doing it every morning, thanks to these pieces from @wayfaircanada .

And don’t forget to send this to whoever you’re eating al fresco with.

THE RUG SIZE GUIDE YOU ACTUALLY NEEDED

okay I am saving you from the most common decorating mistake I see (and have made myself, multiple times, no shame).

Living Room
Your rug should fit ALL front legs of your sofa + chairs on it. If you can only fit a coffee table on it… it’s too small. As a general rule: 8x10 for most living rooms, 9x12 for larger sectional situations.

Bedroom
Go bigger than you think. You’ll regret it. You want an 8x10 minimum so when you step out of bed, you land on rug, not cold floor. The rug should extend at least 18–24” on each side of the bed.

Kitchen Runner
Should run the length of your counter area
.
Entryway
Wider than your door. At minimum. Nothing sadder than a tiny square mat in a big entryway. 3x5 is usually the starting point.

Dining Room
The rug needs to be big enough that chairs stay ON it even when pulled out. 8x10 for a 4-person table, 9x12 for a 6-person. If your chairs slide off the edge every time someone sits down… you know what to do.

Save this for the next time you’re rug shopping 🖤 and send it to someone who just moved, they’ll need it!

honest review: the ambiance is a full 20/10. Like you ever say no to grabbing a drink on your favourite patio kind of ambiance.

The heat output 2/10 - I honestly thought it would be better. You have to sit SO close to get any warmth from it

Starting the fire 0/10. I smelled like a camp fire after. Maybe I did it wrong - open to feedback.

But seriously, I kind of think the ambiance is worth the starting it issues 🙈.

Let me know what you think in the comments. Would you keep it? Or no?

POV: you’re Canadian and patio season is FINALLY on its way.

Obviously the first thing you do, inventory your outdoor furniture and decor. The second thing you do, assess what you need. The third thing you do, if you need a new umbrella, add this one to cart 😍.

@Quince you’re going to be making me change my sheets daily - I cannot choose!! What do you think - brown bedding or green bedding?

The brown bed is:
- European Linen Sheet Set in Sand
- European Linen Duvet Cover in Espresso
- European Linen Cotton Stitch Quilt Set in Espresso

The green bed is:
- European Linen Sheet Set in Dusty Olive
- European Linen Duvet Cover in Dusty Olive
- European Linen Box Quilt Set in Dusty Olive

#QuincePartner

#LTKstyletip #LTKhome #LTKcanada

If your bed never quite looks like the photos you save... I've been there.

All you need to do is pick from the same colour family, just vary the textures.
And @Quince makes it easy with so many colours and fabric options to choose from.

The sheets and duvet covers you see are all European Linen. The green is in olive, and the brown is in sand and espresso

@Quince, making me steal the sheets I got for the guest bedroom. Their colours and fabrics and all so gorgeous, I am going to have to change my bedding every day to get the most of it!!
Here’s what you see:
- European Linen Sheet Set in Dusty Olive
- European Linen Duvet Cover in Dusty Olive
- European Linen Box Quilt Set in Dusty Olive

We’re working overtime and solving more than one problem here. No more saggy duvets. And holy crap doesn’t this look like a fluffy cloud? Almost like I have two inserts in my duvet.

20/10 recommend. It didn’t budge last night. It’s still as fluffy as ever.

I did a 120”x120” insert for my king bed. Any bigger and I almost think it would get bunchy and annoying. But anything is possibly until you try.

Don’t forget to save this for later and share it with a friend who’s looking for that cloud like bed without any saggy duvets.

You know that feeling when you walk into a room and something just... feels right?
Not because it’s perfectly decorated. Not because everything matches.
Just because it feels like somewhere you actually want to be.
That’s ambiance. And I promise, every single home can have it.
It’s not a design budget thing. It’s not a square footage thing. It’s a knowing what to do thing.
And that’s exactly what this series is for. 🕯️

Let me know if you want the links and don’t forget to send this to the friend who keeps saying her home never feels cozy enough. 👇

Jokes aside I genuinely cannot think of a more justified use of a Wednesday afternoon.
Because here’s the thing: some people decompress with a run. Some people call their therapist. I rearrange furniture and open packages and stare at my living room until it finally feels like mine again.
And if that’s you too? Welcome to the home obsessed decompress club (we can work shop that name) 😆.

Save this for the next time someone asks why you bought the thing or rearranged your living room again. 👆 And send it to the person in your life who gets it.

The discovery I made at the end ☠️

Makes perfect sense.

Such a pretty decor piece that could thrive anywhere. On your nightstand. Coffee table. Shelf. Kitchen counter. And we know when something is pretty and adds ambiance it’s a 20/10 for me.

patio season is here and i shopped everywhere so you don’t have to

fair warning — patio finds move fast. prices go up and stock disappears the second the sun comes out in canada. if something catches your eye, don’t wait.

prices and stock subject to change. some room inspiration images are AI generated for styling purposes.

#LTKcanada #LTKsummer

Some might call it excessive. I call it passionate.

The sun is giving LIFE and I don’t know about you but I am thinking this summer is the perfect time to transport to the French countryside.

Gimmie all the outdoor pots, layer them together and fill them with lavender. Ughhhh I’m so excited it hurts.

I linked this one and a ton of other cute ones

for the mom who thinks her living room aesthetic is a thing of the past 🖤
$269 dresser from Walmart Canada. in the living room. full of kids’ toys.
looks like it costs $1,800. nobody but your bank account knows that.
save this before it sells out 👆 and send it to every mom who needs to hear this

PS I will be reimbursed for this dresser as part of a future collaboration with Walmart but I would 1000% buy this on my own accord the price is so good.

Shelf styling made easy-ish.

Truthfully I think shelves are one of the hardest things to style so first and foremost, give yourself some grace.

Adding a few extra tidbits for you:

- start with a colour palette - pick 2-3 colours and repeat them. It’s what makes everything feel intentional instead of random

- go big, not many - a few oversized pieces beat a bunch of small ones every time. too many little
items = visual clutter

- vary your heights - mix tall, medium, and short. stack books horizontally to create a riser for smaller pieces

- layer in texture - wood, glass, woven, ceramic. the mix is what makes it look expensive

- lean art at the back - propping a frame behind your accessories adds depth without any extra effort

- edit ruthlessly - if it looks just as good with less, go with less. breathing room is part of the design.
