Weekend roundup

Yourhomers are quite the tidy bunch! According to last week's poll more than half of you (58 per cent) make your beds every single day, while an additional 16 per cent strive to do so. The remaining quarter instead opt for the lived in look. Read the full story.

This week, I'm turning my attention to the holiday! For me, Canada Day always means BBQs, cottages and ice cream - even when I'm stuck in the city. Check out our entertaining must-haves to help you get ready for your mid-week break, or extra long-weekend.

And, while I like to think I'm as patriotic as the next gal, I've never been one to break out the red and white goodies for July 1. (Though, next time the Olympics roll around, I'll certainly be trying my hand at this project.) In lieu of peppering the house with tiny maple leafs (though that's certainly good too!), I think it's more fun to showcase chic Canadian designs for our nation's birthday, so I'm looking very much forward to sharing some stylish finds with you in tomorrow's Shop like a Pro!

In the meantime, please let me know in the front page poll whether you haul out the red and white vignettes or hang your favourite Mountie memorabilia for Canada Day.

And, be sure to check out some of our great weekend reads:

- Colin and Justin go wild in the bedroom

- A behind the scenes look at one family's experience on a reality home reno show

- Fun solar light finds

- The Selby is in your space

- Cottage gardening guide
