Hi everyone & welcome to the Christmas home tour from The Rocky Way House! YEP, CHRISTMAS! Tis the season, fully upon us! I am notorious for decorating for christmas the second Remembrance Day is over, so as not to let myself down, I followed tradition 🙂 Enjoy some of the fun Christmas decorating that has been done so far and stay tuned into @jamiepuurk for more sharing on my Instagram! Christmas in our little house is my absolute favorite, aside from being able to spend time with family, it just feels so cozy and warm while the snow is blowing outside. I hope by sharing this a bit earlier, you can find some amazing inspiration as you pull everything out for the 2019 holidays!

Hi, welcome back friends! I am talking about hosting in a small house today. I love having people squeeze into my space and I have some tips I have learned over the past couple years to make it even better and while it may feel “squishy” it’s more fun & definitely do-able!

Another step towards re-doing my spare/guest room is complete. I used some time of the weekend to get my bedside tables completed. If you recall the mood board I created, you would have noticed that I picked out some cute white side tables. I had two perfectly good side tables and I could not justify buying new ones! Therefore, I took my first swing at chalk paint!

Hello friends hello!!
Popping in today because I finally got curtains ordered (and delivered) for my spare room which meant I put some of the finishing touches on my design board! I have been waiting on the Drew Barrymore curtains from Wal Mart to come back in stock for like over 7 months!! I was waiting and waiting. I wanted to go over design boards & how they can really help with finishing a room! Here we go!

Hi again! … I was having one of those weeks last week where I felt like nothing was going right and it just seemed like it was seeping into every part of my life. It is so easy to get caught up in the comparison game and it really can suck you in so deep. Because of that, a topic came to mind for a blog post that might not be the most fun but I think its important to talk about!
Continue reading “The Comparison game.”A Second Master bedroom Makeover!
Hello everyone, since we are on the train of the master bedroom makeovers, I thought I would hop on and share my oldest sister bedroom. I can’t take any of the credit, she did most of the work and was just running her ideas by me! I am so happy she thought of me to help though! We spend a couple of hours last night installing the wallpaper and she finished up the rest of the install today by herself! I am obsessed with the outcome, I even think I need to paint my room now LOL. If you recognize the wallpaper, funnily enough its the same as mine! We didn’t even realize this until unpacking it last night!

Hi Everyone, thanks for stopping by today 🙂
I finally feel like I have got to a space in our master bedroom where its become this amazing cozy haven to retreat to! It used to be so boring a drab AND BROWN – O.M.G so much brown lol! I finally got the finished touch this last week, my amazing plant hanger from Bliss Craft & Brazen (linked in shop my home page)! It just really tied the space together! I don’t have to many before pictures because like I said, it used to be kind of BLAH!
Continue reading “Master Bedroom Refresh”Laundry Room Makeover
Hi everyone! I am excited about this one 🙂 I wanted to up-do the laundry room for so long.. I had some inspiration pictures from pinterest that I was just dying to implement somewhere. Our laundry “room” is actually a closet, so its a pretty small space. Because of that, I was trying my best to make it over while still being 100% functional .. WITH future home owners in mind!

Hi Everyone! Happy September! If you are anything like me, you’ve been anxiously waiting for this month to come because it marks the best time of year. Fall!! I love it, I love the colours the weather, the clothes .. everything!
Continue reading “Fall Home Tour”Starting A Blog…. again!
Well, how about making a post and then doing nothing for 2 years (LOL). Ok, all jokes aside, when I made the blog in 2017 I was not quite sure where I wanted to go with it. I made the site, played around with it, made a christmas post and then just stopped. I was going through Instagram the other day, answering questions about where I had bought stuff for my house & sharing ideas with others and I thought, hey, maybe its time to look back at the blog you left high and dry and revive it! So, a new welcome to The Rocky Way House. I hope you’ll visit often & find inspiration for your home. As you know, our house is about 1300sqFt. This means, sometimes I have to work a bit harder to make sure the house is functional while still implementing my design style (which I still don’t even know how to describe.. Modern Farmhouse with a touch of builder grade design / Plant lover?) We’ll get there 🙂
