Moonstone Dreams
Hi, my name is Joanna.
I'm the publisher of winter-vacations-ontario.com. The development of that page is a huge part of my life, but this blog is not abouut that...
I would like to invite you to journey with me and my family, through upcoming home projects, outings and endeavours. We are lucky enough to live smack in the middle of the Ontario Winter Wonderland. Our closest ski resort is 5 minutes away and we enjoy the closeness very much.

We just finished building a home in Moonstone, where we moved from Barrie. We lived there for 9 short years, we love that city dearly and even thou, our kids were born elsewhere, they both feel that Barrie is their home town. Now they feel a little out of place but with time, they will come to love Moonstone as much as we do.
This is what we saw today in the back yard... Isn't it spectacular. The boys went skiing, I'm at home with a sick cat, she fell down the stairs (off all things). We are going to Barrie today to take the splint off. Hopefully, she will be OK.
Our plans for the near future include finishing up the house and making it a home, organizing the yard into zones and getting stuff planted and growing.
As you see there is plenty of space available, perhaps a little too much...
That's the "project" part. We will also post notes on our skiing outings and trips and will keep you up to date with the progress of our two websites: www.winter-vacations-ontario.com and www.hardwood-floor-decor-and-care.com. Both are a labour of love.
Our home projects, next couple of months will take us into the Family Room, where I still can't decide on the wall colour, even thou some walls have been pained twice already... I can't get it right. I try to keep a keen eye on the budget and spend a little to get a great results. Will see what happens...
I will also show you what we already did, (riped out brand new tiles in the bathroom, to start over...)
The new tiles were so much nicer and looked better in the space:

Tiles are from Olimpia Tile in Toronto. So worth the trip, I loved them, and the price was right... I have this thing, I refuse to pay full price, unless it's the right price. I got a nice surprise... since we are in the FLOORING business ourselves, I got those at the huge discount! NICE! It was such a great decision to start over, I need to dig up the before pictures to compare.
I love the way the new stuff looks, but I can't decide what to do with the master bedroom, so your input will be appreciated.
