An Afternoon at The Ossington House

August 29, 2020

For this month’s content, we spent an afternoon at The Ossington House in Toronto. I received SO many messages and inquiries about the space, with many of my friends asking if I’d moved, since the aesthetic is so close to what my husband and I are looking for in our own home! I found this gem on Instagram (obviously) while looking for the perfect shoot location for one of my clients. While it wasn’t a fit for that project, I couldn’t help but dream of all of the areas I’d love to shoot in, so I had to just book it for myself to bring these dreams to life!

Location

It’s located right off the bustling Ossington Strip, so it’s truly perfect for someone looking to do a staycation in the area, or if you are visiting Toronto from out of town and don’t want to stay in any of the more touristy areas. Ossington has some of the best eating and shopping in the city, and it’s always on my list for must-visit places when my friends from abroad come to town.

Features

The house features three beautiful bedrooms, a huge kitchen with every kind of glassware you could dream of, a super stylish washroom (vanity post to come!), dining room and, of course, the stunning living area with a vintage fireplace and colourful bookshelf. We made use of almost every room, and I would truly move in if I could!

The Area

Not only can you stay here, but they also rent for events and for photoshoots. I really want to plan a little girls weekend here once we get a little bit past Covid times. My husband and I have been planning all kinds of staycations, and taking him here for a weekend is really high on my list. I would love to finally walk to some of my favourite restaurants like Mamakas, Pho Tien Thanh, Côte de Boeuf, Superpoint and Paris Paris. We don’t live near the area, so I think it would be the change of scenery we really need right now!

Friday 🤍 What are we doing for the first weeken Friday 🤍 What are we doing for the first weekend under the stay-at-home order, friends? My one trip out will be to stock up on necessities - this month I’m trying to shop from local businesses only during the lockdown. My meticulous trip itinerary creation from years past is certainly useful now that I’m planning a route for multiple curbside pickups.

Had to share one more from this fireplace vignette at @mintroomstudios because I love it so much.
How are your resolutions going? ✨ I’d been off How are your resolutions going? ✨ I’d been off to such a promising start until yesterday... despite my best intentions, I woke up late, skipped half my morning routine, and the day ended with doom scrolling on Twitter, watching endless Bravo in bed and letting work get under my skin. 🙈 Feeling so badly about it this morning, but trying to use this as a reminder of why I set these intentions in the first place.
▫️I feel better when I take care of myself by eating well, exercising and limiting social media. Healthy habits aren’t restrictive, they’re freeing.
▫️ Making a clear distinction between personal and work time ultimately helps me be more effective and present for both.
▫️ Bravo and wine in bed is totally great, so long as it’s followed by tea and reading, or dinner and a meaningful conversation the next nights.

✌🏻 Here’s to doing better today and sending the same encouragement to you all if you need it too.

Oooof, this week. 🙈 2021 is off to a challengi Oooof, this week. 🙈  2021 is off to a challenging and heavy start, and I imagine we’re all feeling it. Still, I’m v. grateful for the new page and all the days ahead. So far, I’m actually sticking to my resolutions: Reading more ✔️ Conscious consumption of food, news and social ✔️ Moving my body ✔️ Setting boundaries ✔️

Hope you are all holding onto yours still. Some of my friends have been sending such sweet texts this week as I think we’re all just feeling the need for a bit more warmth and love right now, so with this post I’m sending the same to all of you. Hope your weekend is beautiful and restorative. ✨
Appreciation post for THE boots. 🖤 Ever since I Appreciation post for THE boots. 🖤 Ever since I posted about them in the fall, I feel like my DM’s have just become a giant love fest surrounding these guys with so many of you who love them too. Equal parts sock and Chelsea boot, they automatically make any outfit feel cooler and they’re basically the only thing getting me through winter! I don’t think I’ve loved a cheap pair of shoes this much since my first pair of plastic princess heels as a kid.
Is everyone else in the chunky boot fan club this winter? 🙌🏻
Leaving it allll behind in 2020. I've been so hesi Leaving it allll behind in 2020. I've been so hesitant to make plans for 2021 and cautious to manifest the things I most want from the year ahead. But waking up this morning, I felt hopeful and motivated in a way I haven't in a while. There's just something about the blank page of a new year, and while I know it will have its challenges, I'm excited for all that it will bring.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you made any resolutions or set goals for the year ahead? I'd love to know, and if you followed a particular method as I'm struggling to identify the right one!
