Save this video for your trip to Tokyo, Japan! Kappabashi street is a must visit in my opinion. I could spend all day here. It is heaven for all kitchenware and ceramic lovers. I love picking up functional yet beautiful items like kitchen tools during our travels. Every time we use it, we think of our trip! It’s the perfect souvenir in my opinion. The only problem is the weight limit for our luggage. But that’s a problem for @kinthekwendyhome (IG) to solve. ☺️ Tagging a few shops (but we went to so many more!) 📍: Kappabashi Street 🔪 store: @tsubaya.jp (IG) 🍵 shop: @baise_tdi (IG) #travel #kitchentool #souvenirs #ceramics

What I thrifted vs how I styled it. Oftentimes people overlook items at the thrift store because it’s not the colour they want. But I always look for the shape and function of the object because I know I can change the colour! And then suddenly, it opens your mind and your imagination! Look at all these gems that we upcycled! Which one was your favourite? #thrifted #upcycled #thriftfinds

Who knew that buying a tea shelf half way across the world would spark an entire room make over? I did. Welcome to part one of our tea room makeover where we turn this neglected area into an actual space people want to sit in. Today we created a mood board with our tea cabinet as the star and started lime washing our walls. It created the perfect wabi sabi backdrop for a relaxing and cozy sitting area. I can’t wait for part two where we mount some floating shelves and style it with all our vintage tea cups and collected pottery! #roommakeover #homedecor #homereno #tearoom #limewash #openshelf

Easter is coming. Here’s a cutie appetizer idea. #hosting #easterbrunch #easter

Replying to @justcallmekerr Don’t let your luggage space hold you back from your full shopping potential. Here’s how you can ship things home from Japan. It cost ¥9000 to ship 30lbs back to Canada and it arrived a month later. It was cheaper than buying an extra luggage and paying to check an additional bag! Save this for your next Japan travel or send it to a friend who can use this tip. #travelhacks #japantravel #japantraveltips #traveltips #traveltip #japan #visitjapan #shopping

I tried all these hacks so you don’t have to. Spring cleaning is here? Will you try any of these hacks? #CleanTok #springcleaning

If you find that your cut hydrangeas are finicky and wilt really quickly, you’re probably not watering them properly. They are thirsty flowers and if you want them to last longer, follow these tips and hacks! Did you know that they absorb a ton of water through their petals as well? So if you find them drooping, submerge their entire flower head and leaves under cool water and watch them revive. You’ll also want to prep the stems by either smashing the ends or cutting a split up the stem so they can drink more water. You can condition the flower by dipping the stem into hot water, this will remove sap that might be blocking the stem from absorbing water. Or you can dip the stem in alum powder to prevent wilting. Last, you can spritz your flower petals regularly to keep the fresh and hydrated! #flowertips #flowerlover #hydrangea

Creating a tea room revolving around this shelf is a dream that I’ve had since lunch and I’m not giving up on it now. Even if it means figuring out how to ship this thing across the world to do it. Thoughts and prayers that she makes it across the Pacific Ocean. 🙏😬 Address of this store: 103, Taiwan, Taipei City, Datong District, Lane 53, Section 2, Chengde Rode. Store name: 波古道具室 Number 37 (There’s literally no name on the storefront, we just stumbled upon it on our way to another ceramic shop!) #travel #tearoom #shelf #shelfsaga

“Millennial grey is a trauma response to the colourful 90’s home decorating show” Anyone else being fed snippets of “Decorating Cents” on their FYP?! This is a comment I keep reading and I can’t help but think it might be true for me. But to be fair, most tea rooms are pretty brown and beige so here we are. I promise I’m working on incorporating colour to the rest of the house though! #roommakeover #limewash #tearoom #homedecor #homedecorideas #floatingshelves #decoratewithme
