Renovations. Design. DIY Bliss.

Welcome! Home & Bliss is a blog for home lovers, renovators, and DIYer's where we share our home projects from around our blissful home. We love turning houses into homes.
Hi! Nice to meet you! We're Matt & Sylvia and we have an immense passion for home renovations, design and crafty do-it-yourself projects. We've been known as the couple who is busy transforming their house into a home.
We purchased our first "fixer" upper home in 2012 in the beautiful city of Calgary and we haven't been able to put down the hammer since then. We sold our first fixer upper in 2014 and are onto bigger and better projects. This blog chronicles our house renovation adventures. Sylvia is known as the design and do-it-yourself enthusiast while Matt is known for his incredible Handyman skills.
We believe anything worth doing, is worth doing well especially when it comes to renovations. The renovation journey we have embarked on to turn our house into a home has not been an easy one but it has been an rewarding one. When we're not renovating, we enjoy longs walks down the aisles of Home Depot, exploring Calgary and spending time with our newest addition to the family - Adam Liam. Thanks for stopping by!
