LEGRAND LIGHT SWITCHES & CUSTOM WALLPLATES
If you guys have never heard of Legrand before, you really need to check out their innovation lighting and controlling systems! I’ve been wanting to install dimmers in my living room for the longest time and when I came across the adorne collection, I immediately knew I had to have these. All their switches are very unique and modern and they also have so many cool options for plates, including custom ones to match your current paint colour or wallpaper! A simple upgrade of a light switch can really make a huge statement and so far I have been receiving many compliments on how fancy they look. I upgraded three different rooms in my home and I’m so pleased with the outcome. Today I am revealing my before and after pictures and my thoughts on the product.

DIY PEEPS PILLOW
What’s your favourite Easter candy? It’s hard for me to pick just one because I have the biggest sweet-tooth and I may have a slight addiction to candy. lol! I will narrow it down to my top three; Marshmallow Peeps, Mini Cadbury Eggs and Cadbury Creme Eggs. Yummy! You also all know that I have an obsession for decor pillows, so for Easter I decided to combine the two and make my favourite Easter candy into a pillow. I put together a little picture tutorial if you’d like to make one as well. Super fun and Super CUTE!!!
THROW A HYGGE PARTY
It’s that time of year again where we all want to hibernate from the brutally cold weather, but there are ways to get around the winter blues! One way is to celebrate all the warm and cozy moments. It’s all about HYGGE! Hygge (pronounced “hoo-ga”), is a Danish concept that involves coziness & togetherness and has been part of the Danish culture for years. Hygge can occur alone or in groups; at home or out on the town; and can be as simple as reading a good book by the fireplace. Sharing moments is always more fun, so why not invite your friends over for a hygge party?!! I guarantee you will forget about the cold weather and you will be smiling all night long. Here are some ideas to host the ultimate hygge party.
