My Days of Wine & Roses... in Summerland, BC Having moved Fluff My House! Home Staging Inc. to Summerland, BC just over a year ago I have had the chance to see many of the local award winning wineries with various friends. We have an association called Bottle Neck Drive that many of the wineries are located on with it's own map that tourists can follow to go on tastings.    We also have companies, like Top Cat Tours, that take people on wine tasting tours; my fb friend David Brooks is a tour guide for them. A designated driver for your group so to speak... Being in such a beautiful growing region allows for a vast variety of grapes, fruits & produce to be available. Many of the Wineries grow their own grapes, some buy grapes from local farmers & some use fruit for their wines. We also h... 08/18/2014

Thinking Outside the Box(es): When What You Ordered Isn't...Since I moved to Summerland, BC, at the end of June I've been waving my Flufftastic Fairy wand all over my own place to make it awesome!Part of that involved choosing light fixtures for every room...Not an easy choice, because if you want: sconces, 1 pendant lights, 3 pendant lights & flush mounts that don't fight with each other, but don't come in the same family it can get frustrating & be overwhelming.Originally I had seen these sconces by BAZZ at RONA & thought they would look awesome! I was going to put 1 light sconces in my office & Master Bedroom, 3 light sconces in my ensuite & main bath, 1 pendant light above my kitchen sink & a 3 light pendant over the island a few feet away. Then I was going to find something spectac... 10/16/2013

Still Here... Still Pluggin' Along...I, (the Flufftastic Fairy, from Fluff My House! Home Staging Inc.) haven't been blogging much because I have been renovating my new place... in Summerland, BC. It's about halfway there... (probably more than that, but it seems I still have so much to do...) Anyway I have had requests to see the progress, so I thought I would post some pix... Remember it was gutted down to the studs & most of the walls moved or removed at one point, so I guess it has come a long way... :) The wall on the right was moved 3 feet into the 'office' nee original dining room. I haven't found counter tops yet, but the plumber was nice enough to set me up with a temporary kitchen sink so I could stop doing dishes in the ensuite sink. :) Tiling has begun on the walls & the flo... 10/09/2013

Trout Creek: a neigborhood of Summerland, BC, Canada Trout Creek CanyonThe other landmark is Trout Creek Canyon. This enormous canyon contains the Trout Creek Canyon Trestle.
