Hello friend, and welcome to my fall 2021 home tour! This year I went for *gasps* white (surprise surprise!), with light touches of dusty pink, burnt red, and pastel orange. The best part of having a neutral based home is definitely how easy it is to transition from season to season, and not having to [...]
Welcome back to the blog, friend! I hope you brought your appetite, because I have an extra special recipe on the menu today - as shared with us by my lovely younger sister, Danielle! Mark this day for the history books, because this is her first guest post, and won't be her last - we've [...]
Welcome to the 'Krause House' in summer 2021! Something you may not know about me - not only do I adore nautical and ocean themed decor, I also have a thing for pirate folklore! Movies, TV shows, books, sign me up. Especially if there are mermaids included. So, this year I added some fun 'pirate [...]
There's nothing like redecorating for a new season! Even small changes here and there throughout your home can bring a renewed sense of purpose to your daily life, and give you a boost of creativity. One of my favourite parts of doing an annual home tour (or in my case, quartlerly tours!) is getting to [...]
This is a recipe I've tweaked to perfection over the years, and it's the only cabbage roll casserole recipe you'll ever need. Heartwarming, nostalgic, and sentimental, this meal will have your home smelling so warm and full of love all day! I grew up with cabbage rolls at every Thanksgiving, but funnily enough I never [...]
Looking for a creamy, dreamy, yet flavourful and bright crockpot meal? Well, have I got a treat for you today - this dish is the lovechild of zesty tomato soup and creamy rosé sauce tortellini! This is a great 'pantry' meal to have on hand, as you can keep almost all of the ingredients either [...]
Welcome to my 2020 Christmas Home Tour! Please, grab a hot chocolate, snuggle up, and stay awhile. This year I finally purchased a flocked Christmas tree, or as I so lovingly call it, my 'powder puff' tree. It was the inspiration behind the rest of my decor, which I kept very light and airy this [...]
Hello there! Welcome to my Fall Home Tour! If you're new to the blog, I'm Jamie, and I'm delighted that you're here! Every season I like to switch up things like linens, throw pillows, floral arrangements, and knick-knacks to reflect the changing weather. Here in Kelowna, we have true 4 season weather, so it's always [...]
Sometimes there's just no avoiding it. You know what I'm talking about - good ol' date night fatigue! Whether you're a homebody looking for new ideas, newly coupled up and looking to try new things, or you're visiting the Okanagan and want to learn a few insider tips - this list is your new best [...]
Comfort food with a twist - try this lighter version of the classic Beef Stroganoff! Swapping out heavy ground beef for ground turkey or veggie grounds, leaving out the butter, heavy cream and flour, while adding in plenty of green vegetables, makes this a hearty meal you can feel good about. Plus, it's easy enough [...]

Hi there! Welcome to my little slice of summer paradise! You've probably noticed that I change up my decor every season. I love to decorate my home to reflect the changing weather, and making little changes every few months is a great way to experiment, and find your signature style. If I had to choose, [...]
