Making My House a Home

Going into another busy week for us here at the blog, I am at the office today with another exciting list of things to do. From meeting some of our idols over the last few weeks, to the ability to learn about new brands, there’s never a dull moment for us around here! Recently I had the pleasure of being introduced to MODERN INDIA: the latest collection by Mobilia Canada with Calgary based designer and style expert Aly Velji – and it helped to rekindle a desire to make the house I now live in a home again.

On top of that, I had some Home Depot coupons to use (if you’re interested, you can learn more here). What could be better?
