Designing a room around a couple of twin beds can be a challenging task. Here’s some beautiful inspiration to point you in the right direction.

I’m a huge fan of Oprah Winfrey! She’s an inspirational human being and someone we could all learn a little from. Her home in Maui was one of my inspirations for visiting the beautiful island on my last vacation. I came across these images of her humble home there and thought you might enjoy a small glimpse inside.

Style at Home has featured our very own Peggy Byron, owner and founder of Au Lit Fine Linens, on “How to fold a fitted sheet”. If you’re like most of our customers, you should probably watch the video.

At our Holiday event in early December, Suzanne entered a draw to win a $500 shopping spree and won!!! She made quick work of it, using it to spread some holiday joy for herself and others when she came to collect her prize just before Christmas.

Congratulations Suzanne!

We are often asked at Liv the best way to care for our beautiful Au Lit linens. Since the white sale is in full swing, what better time to let you know the best way to care for your linens. Here is what we recommend:

Machine wash your linens in cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Avoid detergents that contain bleach, ammonia or enzymes as they may cause discolouration. Cotton satin linens should be washed in cold water before use to set the fibres and prevent pilling.

Hang to dry. Do not use the dryer as the heat destroys the natural fibres and will considerably shorten the life of your linens. Press, if necessary, while damp. Be aware that skin creams and beauty products may stain or discolour your linens.

Follow this and you will be enjoying your Au Lit linens for years to come!

We love jewellery, and the Talisman line from Pyrrha must be shared!

A Canadian jewellery company, the line is made using 19th century wax seals. Each piece is unique and made by hand, and each pendant has a meaning behind its symbol. They come in a variety of metals and sizes and are a great addition to any jewellery collection!
See more on their website! http://www.pyrrha.com
