The master bathroom is supposed to be a luxurious place to relax and get ready in the morning. I wanted the bathroom to be light and airy but still feel luxurious and sophisticated. I decided to use mostly white and light greys but added in some blue and aquas through the tile and wallpaper. Hope you enjoy :) Three of these will hang staggered in the centre of the room. They are too small for a single pendant so the staggered three will be the perfect size. Pot lights will also be scattered around the room in order to add extra lighting. 3. A large soaker tub with pretty lines is exactly what the master bedroom needs. I love the look of this tub and how is curves at either end. And the standing faucet behind is simple and matches the shower pieces. These are trinket dishes that I will mount on the wall behind the cart. I hope this bathroom reminds you of a spa day! xo

A master bedroom should be a relaxing retreat away from the chaos of the household! I think white is the most relaxing colour and it looks so pretty layered in combinations. I decided to go with a white base colour and then a navy blue accent colour to bring in some interest. The big window in this room will help to keep things bright and airy. 1. I decided that because of the white head board the back wall needed something to make it a little more interesting. So I decided to go with large wallpaper panels on a white white. The panels will have white trim around them to add a 'frame'. 2. The bed is the main focal point for this room so I had to make sure that it would stand out and be a dramatic statement in the room. This headboard is tall and the king size bed adds to the largeness of the room. 4. This daybed will sit at the end of the bed to add seating. It will be a nice place to sit and relax and the low profile is perfect for the end of the bed. 6.The wardrobe wall on will have two sets of closets and then a dresser in the middle. Above is what the closet space will look like, the left is the glass door configuration, and the right is the inner organization. The dresser was simply a white dresser but I covered the drawer doors with wallpaper to dress them up a bit. I wanted the top of the stairs area to be a huge hangout space for both kids and adults. This space has so many bright colours and patterns just as I wanted it. It has areas for both studying or getting homework done, and for hanging out. So kick back and let your creativity flow... This chandelier with be placed twice in the room... once over the table and once over the lounge area! It is beautiful and simple but has a Moroccan vibe 4. Some more pattern to liven up the room. These chairs are in the same colour scheme as the chaise but less vibrant. They fit perfectly and I love the shape. 9. These baskets will be placed along the wall to hold extra pillows, blankets and other things that may be necessary. I found these garland and I thought it would be perfect for the room. It will be hung along the ceiling over the room in a pattern like the photo on the right! This room definitely has a different feeling compared to the rest of the house so far but I love the colourful feel it has! xo
There are some things everyone needs in their closet! Here are my top 5 wardrobe essentials along... 1. Black Jeans2. Cardigan3. Little Black Dress4. Boyfriend Jeans5. White ShirtI love these ruffle shorts! They are cute for summer and I like them so much that I had to get two pairs. I am a fan of fabric shorts and pants rather then jean in the jumper because I find jean to hot and uncomfortable. So these shorts are the perfect solution, and they look great with so many things. I love how these two pieces look like a romper together! The blacks are a perfect match and this outfit is so comfortable. I'm well into my summer at camp now but am trying to keep up with Dipped In Gold and keeping you all in the loop. Keep an eye out for updates about my summer :) I hope you are loving the summer weather and putting all your shorts and dresses to good use! xo
So I guess its not entirely fictional because all of the answers are entirely true. Though I have come up with the questions to hopefully allow you to get to know me a little better. I hope this gives you a better insight into myself, my life and my blog <3 Some of them are funny, some are serious, and some are just plain random, but I think questions are the best way to get to know someone so here we go... 1.What is your favourite thing to do in your free time? Definitely I love to spend time with friends and my family, work on my blog, read, drive ( I love the drive) and I do find myself on the phone quite a bit. 2. Where did you go to high school? I went to Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario. I loved high school! 3. Where did you go to university? I am currently at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. 4. Why did you start a blog? I am a very creative person and I love to write. I found that in university I was reading and writing for school but the creativity was not there. Then some of my friends decided that I looked like the kind of person to have a blog and it just started from there. Blogging is a great way to be creative and connect with people. I have become slightly obsessed. What did you want to be when you were little? I definitely had a lot of ideas... I think at points I wanted to be a hairdresser or a teacher. And then once I got into middle school I wanted to be a doctor, this stage lasted until I was in grade 11. And now I am stuck on becoming an interior designer! I guess we will have to see if it sticks (I have a feeling it will)! What is the best compliment you have ever received? I think honestly the nicest compliments I have ever received were thank you's for random things. A genuine thank you I think is one of the hugest compliments because it shows that you touched someones life in a positive way! What are your favourite places to shop? Anthropologie, Zara, H&M, Aritzia, J Crew What are your favourite colours? My favourite colour right now is probably pink, but I usually wear black and whites a majority of the time. I also love bold colour combinations such as orange and navy, red and teal, or navy and pink. What is your proudest achievement? I was named Head Girl at my high school for grade 12 (think harry potter), and I think that probably was! It was an honour and I loved every minute of that role. Where would you live if you could live anywhere in the world? I truly do love Canada, and I will probably stay in Canada for most of my life though probably in a larger city. But if I had to move anywhere it would be to California I think. There is something about it that has always been appealing to me for some reason. What is your middle name? Jane. Its my aunts name! Do you have any siblings? Yes! I have two... my sister Katie is 17 and my brother Ben is 15. What do you do if you can't sleep? This unfortunately happens to me often! Usually I will try to read or watch TV and if that doesn't work I will turn my position in my bed so that my head is where my feet usually are... it seems to work for me weirdly. What are your guilty pleasures? Definitely Netflix and my phone... definitely on both of those too often. How do you feel about friendship? I absolutely adore my friends. I have friends from many places in my life and am so thankful for everyone in my life. Describe yourself in three words... Loving, Committed and Kind What would you name yourself if you had to change your first name? I loved uncommon names! All of my kids when I get older will have uncommon names, not necessarily super uncommon like Apple, but just uncommon. I also love boys names for girls. I think I would rename myself Quinn or Elliot. I hope this allowed you to learn a little bit about me! xo
This powder room is definitely the smallest room in the house, and therefore I thought it was the perfect space to make a huge impact. This room has relatively high traffic because it is the only bathroom on the main floor and it will be used when guest come over. I wanted it to be warm but also make an immediate impact off the very white mud room and I think I achieved that. When I was talking about an immediate impact this is what I'm talking about! This wallpaper will only be on the wall with the sink and toilet but it is very visible as soon as you walk in which is what I wanted. This mirror will be hung above the sink along with two pendant light fixtures. Obviously this is not to scale but it gives you an idea. The other lighting in the room will be simple recessed lighting. 3. The flooring will be laid in this pattern and the tiles will be simple white subway tiles. I wanted the flooring to be white and simple in order to allow the accent wall to be the focus. 4. I love these gold animal heads. I chose to hang them in a vertical order to add high to the room. Everything in the bathroom is pretty low to the ground, these will add hight and interest. 5. This horizontal flower display will be perfect for the room to add another decor element. Its so pretty with the yellow flowers to compliment the wallpaper and it will span most of the wall. Finally these are the two hand towels I chose. They work in the room and will add something to the vanity shelf. The main floor is officially finished! Its time to go upstairs! xo
A mud room is supposed to be functional over 'fashionable', but I think you can make it both. Not a whole lot of detail to this hallway turned mud room but it definitely will get a lot of traffic so it needed to look pretty while being simple and sturdy. I have designed a built in storage locker system and bench into the one wall leaving the opposing wall to be for decor. I decided to add this hook system with the cubbies for extra open storage for the kids or dog stuff. Its easy access and visible for all the see so nothing goes missing before you head out the door. Plus this is a place to hang coats when guests are over so they don't have to go into the family lockers. I am officially at camp :) so you will start getting bi-weekly updates hopefully with lots of pictures! Happy Tuesday xo
1. Art SuppliesArt supplies are a must for any camp counsellor. Here are some of the supplies I always have with me at camp...
2. Water bottle (or 2-3)Water is essential anywhere but when you are out in the sun all day, everyday you need water. I usually bring 3 or 4 up with me because they they are always useful. 3. Kids BooksMy kids at camp are usually 6-8 years old and books become an everyday thing, usually before bed. I always have books in my cabin to read and the kids love them. There is one book that I found this summer that was really great... it is called The Rabbit Who Wants to Fall Asleep. I'll link it below but it is basically a sleep aid to help kids fall asleep. I swear it worked every night! 4. Shoes (Multiple Pairs)I usually live in flip flops, so I often have a couple of pairs! So here is what I usually bring...
5. Comfy BeddingPretty self explanatory but you need a good nights sleep every night! So having a comforter, multiple pillows and some blankets can make your bed extra comfy. 6. Beach CoverUps This summer I will be living on my camp dock, so coverups will by my daily outfit of choice... here are some of my favourites right now! 7. SunscreenAgain self explanatory... but it is super useful and needed everyday for both you and your kids. 8. SweatPants and SweatshirtsCold mornings and late nights call for some good quality sweat pants! Camp is one of the very few places that I will let myself wear sweats basically whenever I want! So here are some of my favourites... 9. Good Wireless SpeakersThere are a million different sets you can get! Honestly they don't have to be fancy or expensive, as long as they do their job they are perfect for camp! 10. Fun SurprisesIt always fun to have special things for the kids on the occasion. I always try to have a couple of different things in my cabin at all times so that a treat or surprise is always easy to achieve. Some of the things I have are...
Im leaving tomorrow so I can't wait to put all of these things to use! xo
A home office needs to be a clean space for anyone to get work done. Though sometimes offices can be designated for one person, I have designed this to be a space for anyone, though mostly the adults of the house, to get work done. It is located close to the action of the house so they are still easily accessible, but the glider doors can keep you tucked away. This colour is called Blue Haze by Benjamin Moore. I love the softness of this colour, it has a lot of white in it which makes it soft enough for the whole room. 1. The desk is arguably the most important part of any office and this desk is one that can stay for a lifetime. It has clean lines and a modern shape. It is made of stain white oak and the best part is that this desk is huge, big enough for multiple people to work at! 4. To add another pattern to this room I chose this rug. The pattern in simple enough to not overwhelm the room but it definitely adds some interest.
7. These cute floral pendants will hang on either side of the mirror which will be centred on its side. Hope this office inspires a lot of hard work and family time! xo
