Since this room is attached to our grey and white living room, the natural choice was to continue that in this room.

The kit arrived just like this all together in a big happy box.. Really simple, straightforward instructions were included.They really made it seem easier than anything else I’ve read online.

Look how happy those ladies are on the front!It can’t be that hard if they’re laughing like that!.They also included a whole bunch of goodies for decorating the jars for gifting with my kit.

Bernardin will be selling jar decorating kits at Canadian Tire stores in Canada starting in the fall.That’s how I managed to get my jars looking so cute, in case you were wondering.

No decorating skills needed!.

These cute jar labels are included in the kits too!.If you find a house that’s still in pretty good shape 100 years later, chances are that the builders of your home did a pretty great job.

Our home sits right next to a creek, too close by today’s building standards, and yet we never get a flooded basement, even when half of the town is underwater.Our house is also incredibly energy efficient in a lot of ways.

It’s still cool here in the Spring long after everyone else has had to turn on their A/C and we turn our heat on in the Fall pretty late too.Strategically planted trees, and double-brick wall construction seem to have made a big difference for us.. We also have an amazingly unique floor plan, one that you’d never see in a new build, but one that really works for our family.
