A lovely spot for lunch, or a game (bored game as we call it) to pass the time on a rainy day.
The cork flooring was salvaged from a minor flood in my home. The soffits/fascia are also made from old cedar fence boards. I love repurposing materials that would otherwise be garbage.
Floor cushions provide extra seating. Birch branches draw the eye up to a wooden deer head.
A small electric fireplace provides warmth on cooler days.
I love using accessories to give the appearance that a fireplace is real. Here an owl holds birch kindling.
This loft space provides sleeping accommodations for two and will soon receive a library ladder and safety rails made of a trestle inspired garden trellis. So, who wants to come and visit?? xo

I think we should have our girlie sleep over in that room when I visit. I like your phone :)
OMG, this is simply gorgeous! The space, colors, decor...breathtaking! Wish I had a space like that to decorate. Well at the least, you've inspired me to buy a pouf! That will fit in my office!
i love this room sooo much! i would want to hang out in it EVERYDAY!
where did you get the white infinity chairs:?
Let me know when I can make my reservation...looks quite inviting! I think I spied the Two's Company owl...is it? The turquoise foot stool/side table is quite fab too! Great job!
Amazing, beautiful job!
I LOVE the way you put the 2 beds together to make a couch.
Thanks for the inspiration!!!
OMG!!! you have so many comments I dont know if you will even have time to get to mine, but I just wanted to say THIS IS LOVELY!!! You are so good at making your home beautiful.It is so fresh and inviting. I can imagine sitting back and enjoying some sunny days there. Enjoy your new space :)
looks like such a fantastic space! congrats!
You are so incredibly talented :)
I'd come visit :) It looks wonderful! I love how the seating are two twin beds. I am also in love with your chairs - I know someone's already asked, but I'd like the know where they're from, too.
The chairs are from homesense here, as is the asian blue stool. I cannot take credit for the cupcakes, although I'd love to- they're from Crave Cupcakes here... delicious! The beds are from ikea and are surprisingly comfortable.
I really do wish I could just have a giant garden party and have you all hang out here. That would be so fun...
I love your comments, each and every one ;) (Yahnay) Thanks loves! xoxo
Sign me up to come visit, Erica! This space couldn't be any more breezy and cool ... I just love it.
I loooove it! Fantastic job! The fireplace touches are perfection!

WOW! Erika it looks amazing!! I love the white, blue and green combo! It's so fresh and clean. Wish I could come visit and eat those cupcakes on the table. :)

Great job girl, your house is FAB!

Seriously it's a dream for a guest. You done good!!!

PS I tagged you in my post! Come check it out :)
Hope you had a wonderful day Love!

Oh Erica, the space looks fabulous! I've been out of town and out of touch for a while with the blog world. Glad I'm back to check out how the room looks now! $20.00 for those chairs, what a find...

Really lovely! It is such a relaxing place. Wonderful job! xo
ERICA! I'm smitten with it ALL.
You did a fantastic job!
Love the white and blue in all it's
variations ~ so calm and peaceful.
I also love how you've called
in Nature from the outside.
Almost like hanging out in
a tree house : )
Hope you are enjoying it
as I write this! xx P&H
Hi Erica, this room is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. It looks like something straight out of a magazine shoot. I love the use of the owl holding the kindling - it adds an adorable quirky touch. The colours are very calming - the perfect place to chill out!
Just wanted to let you know that I have passed a blogger award on to you. Your posts are always inspiring. Come over and pick it up when you get some spare time. Michelle
It looks fantastic! Soothing and cheerful at the same time. I LOVE the colors. Great job.

Beautiful! It is inviting and relaxing, a perfect combo for guests... and sure, count me in when the sleeping loft is ready!!
Utter gorgeousness! I love how much light you get in the room. It's so relaxing too..Rachaelxx
Looks fabulous!!!
I want to visit! Looks like such a lovely spot to relax. I'm jealous of all the windows. Great details... love the mirror, accessories, pillows....
your outdoor room is simply amazing - so much pretty items in there. Love the owl vase, we;ve been thinking about getting one from Z Galleire! :)
Had my first visit in the outdoor room with my sister in law and sweet new baby niece. It was quiet and lovely... away from the 7 little boys inside the main house. Just thought that I'd share. :) xoxo e
Oh my goodness, I want to move in. That space is perfect. Each element is better than the one before. Gorgeous, inspiring... I wish you lived down the block! :-D
Thanks for sharing. I came from Lisa's place (Crazy Adventures in Parenting); nice to meet you.
Oh my! Gorgeous!!!
Wow! This is such a beautiful room!! And those twin beds configured in the corner is such a great idea... I might use it in our study where we'd like to have extra space for overnight guests! If we do, I'll be sure to send you pictures. :-)
I just saw this, love it!! I wish so much that I had an outdoor room to redo.
I just love this, it's so fresh and uplifting!!!
Erica, I am your newest follower! Love the blog, and love the idea of pushing together two twin beds to create a couch/bedding! x
What a great space. So casual and relaxed! Really love what I see.

ok ok ok i am impressed loving all the white and the blues and greens havent been blogging for a while so just tring to catch up with everyone come on over to beachhouse and see my beachbag giveaway...
Love this room so much I linked it to my blog today! Just Beautiful!
Thanks so much Suzanne (beachhouse) and Desiree (chic coastal living) and to all the comments above from before!
There is such a bank of snow in front of the door I can't even get in there now. Looking forward to spring!
I absolutely LOVE this idea. Your design is spot on! I have a little "playhouse" just like it in my back yard. Now I just have to convince my family to find another home for all their sports equipment--momma's movin' in!
Erica ive been a follower , i absolutely adore your design inspirations , breath taking !!!!!! I would love to know what kinda beds those are , i know they are ikea ones, but are they guest beds or single beds .... Great job :-)
Hey Deann, thanks for the kind words and following right along with me. The beds are two ikea twin boxsprings (sultan aram in grey), with ikea square oak legs and two twin mattresses (I think I went with the Sultan Hamnvik). Hope this helps. :)
PS- I chose the sultan aram boxspring in grey because the only other colour was white. I knew they'd be covered in a washable fabric, so this way, if I ever choose to do the room in a different colour palate I'll have the flexibility to do so with my choice of a white or grey base. :)
i love love love your style Erica!
Lindsay
Thanks Lindsay! The feelings are mutual. :)
So beautiful!
I am smitten with this space. The owl, the mirror, the pillows, the loft. It's calling my name. Just gorgeous.
I know I am late to this party, but just discovered your blog and I love. Could you please share the brand and style number of your electric fireplace? I have been in the market for months and yours is just what I have been looking for. Thx much!
I would also love to know where the fire place is from.
This room is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us.
Hi babychimom and Anna. Sorry I'm just seeing this now. The fireplace was a Rona purchase. I know that they have similar styles at Canadian Tire too. Hope this helps. :)
