Updating the hardware on a set of drawers, closet doors or even your kitchen cabinets can give you a chic new look without breaking the bank. We love the ones (pictured below) from HomeSense, available in a slew of different shapes and colours. Gasp! With a lovely price tag of $10 for a pack of four, you can add instant updates to every room in the house.

How-To
1. Remove everything from your bookshelf and lay it flat on its
back.
2. Measure the space between the shelves and cut your wallpaper
to size using a utility knife and metal ruler as your guide.
3. Apply an even layer of spray adhesive to the back of your
wallpaper and press firmly to the back of the shelf.

Designed in 1934 by Xavier Pauchard and manufactured by French company Tolix, the Marais A Chair was the original metal café chair. With its galvanized steel design and durability, it became an instant classic. These days MACs are the seat du jour, popping up everywhere (and in every colour) from celebrity chef restaurants á la Mr. Oliver’s Jamie’s Italian to trend-heavy stores such as HomeSense. We love its unique industrial charm and think it would look fabulous mixed in with both classic and contemporary décor.

Some of my favourite childhood memories are of summer vacations spent on the beaches of Cape Cod. The sting of salt water in my eyes, admiring the blue hydrangea on each perfectly manicured cottage and chowing down on fresh fare, picnic style. Bring a touch of beach life into your home with these fun items and have a happy summer!
