Now on my third major personal home renovation, I have gotten to know what I love and prefer when it comes to my principle bedroom. I wanted this space in my craftsman style home, built in 1922, to feel like a glamorous hotel room. A quiet and tranquil space to get away from the busyness of life and renovations. Anyone who has an active imagination will empathize with me when I say how challenging it can be to turn off my mind truly experience the rest and relaxation my brain needs at night.
What’s one thing a bedroom needs? A bed, definitely. Forever the centrepiece of these self-titled rooms, beds act as a comfortable place to rest while doubling as great decorative pieces. Often, beds set the standards for the rest of the rooms decor. However finding an affordable piece of art to lounge over your mattress can be quite challenging. Purchasing even a simple duvet cover from a retailer could cost a fortune, regardless of the quality and material. Well I’m here to tell you to cut out the middle man, and DIY. Duvet It Yourself.
During my recent Attic renovation, I decided to design and create my own pillows and bedding for the cubby beds in the space. (The above photo is the final look). On my last blog I shared about how I made round pillows with pom pom’s. Today I am sharing the process of making hand painted lumbar pillows with an invisible zipper. Once you know how to insert an invisible zipper, you can sew all kinds of pillows and blankets.

Now that I have three properties that I am renting on a short-term basis, I find myself offering up a lot of advice and tips to people who are looking to start their own instant hotel.
I thought it would be a great idea to answer some of those frequently asked questions by writing a blog dedicated to my tips and tricks when it comes to attracting short-term renters while protecting your property.
Creating a space for your teen doesn’t have to be a stressful situation. You can have a lot of fun working with them on the inspiration and creating a space that will grow with them as they head into their adult years.
