A few weekends ago I happily allowed my dear friend Courtney take over my apartment to launch her new brand, A Life Aesthetic.
The launch was on a big street festival called Car Free Day, and my apartment happens to be right on the main drag with street access.
The big event was on Sunday, so on Saturday Courtney came over while I was out of the house all day hosting a baby shower and Chris was in Toronto for work. And honestly, it was like being on a home makeover TV show! She spent all day completely rearranging our space, and BAM when I came home at midnight there was the big reveal! (minus the tv cameras or any awkward tears).
Since there is no show on “Extreme Home Pop-Up Shop Makeovers” (yet!), I thought I’d share the transformation with you here (plus who doesn’t love checking out other people’s homes?). And last but not least, a giant congratulations to Courtney for bringing her new baby (A Life Aesthetic) into the world, and really do check it out, because it’s awesome.
