Claudia’s 30th Murder Mystery Birthday Party

Mar. 21, 2026 · Veronica

I have been throwing Claudia birthday parties for most of her life… minus 4 or 5 years in her 20’s that I didn’t host a soirée for her! She is someone who loves a party… and loves to be the life (*cough* centre) of the party, and I love to host, especially with a really…

As certified coffee table book lovers, we wanted t As certified coffee table book lovers, we wanted to share 5 that we think are must haves in YOUR collection *deep breath, said quickly* that aren’t @tomford … so sorry Tom!! 🙈👀🫣📚☕️

When it comes to a coffee table book, we like to add new ones to our collection that fit the following criteria:

1. Cute/pretty/fun colored spine
2. On a topic we actually enjoy
3. Written by or about someone we admire
4. Pretty cover 
5. Pretty pictures

Coffee table books should say something about YOU and your personal design style, so picking ones that bring you joy is always the way to go over buying one everyone has just because it is styled all over @pinterest & @instagram!!

The 5 we think you should add to cart IF they spark joy and speak to you are:

If Paris with your mom is on your travel bucket li If Paris with your mom is on your travel bucket list, you’ll want to save this post! 🤍✨🇫🇷🥖🌷

Okay okay... everything is our favourite thing when we’re doing it together in Paris! However these are our must-do, no skip, most favourite things we always add into our Parisian travel itinerary! 

We have gone on trois mother daughter trips to Paris now, and each time it somehow gets even more wonderful, fun and magical! 

TOP 3 MUST SEE:
- Eiffel Tower (duh!)... You can see it from so many places in the city, but in our opinion the best photo op street is Rue de l’Université.
- The Starbucks Opera Cafe... aka the most beautiful Starbucks in the world at 3 Boulevard des Capucines.
- Claude Monet House + Gardens. As art lovers, to see where Monet lived and where/what he painted was absolutely amazing. Go first thing in the am, you’ll get gorgeous morning light, lower crowds and it’s not tooo hot yet!

TOP 3 MUST DO:
- make macarons at Galeries Lafayette
- Disneyland Paris... who doesn’t j’adore a little disney magic?! Plus their castle is pink!
- If you love fashion, spend a rainy morning wandering the YSL Museum

3 BEST BITES: 
- any tarte aux framboises aka raspberry tart... we have had many over our trips and have yet to find a bad one!
- girl dinner aka cheese, bread, wine, meats, and more cheese from galleries Lafayette!
- Pistachio Disco pizza from @pinkmamma_paris 

If you’ve been to Paris, France what is one of your must-dos?! And if it’s on your bucket list, what are you most excited to experience when you go?! Let us know in the comments where we can manifest our next Paris trip together!!

Our HAUS RULES for having the most successful reno Our HAUS RULES for having the most successful reno project you can!! We have live, laughed, learned here at Hallo Haus Studio with different projects over the last few years, and these are our 8 rules we ALWAYS follow while going through the home renovation process!!👷🏼‍♀️🏠 🔨 🚜👷🏻‍♀️

1. Creating a master reno binder where ALL your important documents like receipts, spec/tear sheets, business cards, measurements, fabric samples, timelines, budget live during your project is a must have! This is an easy way to take paper to and from the job site!

2. We like to have a higher budget contingency at 15-20% than the industry standard of 10% of your total project budget. In our experience, it’s wayyy better to have extra wiggle room when something goes really wrong, and you won’t have to scramble and pull funds from somewhere else in the project! 

3. Most electrical lives behind walls and cannot be changed easily or inexpensively if it’s wrong. When you’re in the middle of the dust and open walls, that is the time to make sure you’ve got it right! Double check things like where the light switch in a room should be, enough outlets in the room and confirm where you are locating overhead lights!

4. Tradespeople and contractors can be different from project to project, so being on and meeting people on their first day is important! You can talk to them and explain your plan in person, ask questions, confirm how long they expect to be on site, and make sure everyone is on the same page with what is happening/needs to be accomplished.

5. We keep a daily and weekly written record of what trades were at our project, documenting when, and what they did, which is helpful to keep everyone on track and accountable! We have our on-site check list, and then a personal list of who/what/when in our, you guessed it, reno binder!!

Rules 6, 7 + 8 continued in the comments!

home decor shopping ✨hallelujah✨😌🛍️🛋️🖼️🪴🏠 We LOOO home decor shopping ✨hallelujah✨😌🛍️🛋️🖼️🪴🏠

We LOOOOVE shopping for home decor, whether it’s for @veronicamnorris haus, @claudianorris_ townhaus or a project we are staging! We also really love to shop local and in person whenever we can! You really can’t beat going in store and getting to see pieces, feel textures and chat with the sales associates. These are 7 Edmonton (+ surrounding areas!) stores we love to visit when shopping for soft furnishings! Full rundown and more pictures of all pieces the we’ve bought is on the blog- link in bio ofc! 

@signaturelane - We LOVE the custom chairs + bar stools they sell, Veronica’s are obviously all black and white. Claudia’s?  Pink… duh!!

@simoneandivy.ca - Veronica actually worked at S&I for a holiday season, so this gorgeous store is a little extra special to us!! Not only do we love their curated selection of smaller items like faux florals, vases, candles etc. but Claudia also bought her stunnin’ kitchen chairs here!

@sofaland - We both have a custom Sofaland sofas in our homes, but Claudia also got her leather ottoman here too! As couch enthusiasts we always head here first when buying a new one! 

@residefurnishings -  So many eclectic decor pieces here, Veronica’s living room occasional chairs are custom and a fan fave!

@yegantiquemall - A literal treasure trove… we love spending an afternoon wandering the stalls and sondering over all the amazing and unique vintage items, usually taking 1 or 27 things home with us!

@findyeg - An amazing local cause with an amazing store also filled with great vintage and second hand items, plus their website and branding is AMAZING!

@shop.chop.yeg - While we don’t get to downtown YEG as often as we’d like to visit this cool af store, when we have shopped here we always feel like we’re inside the trendiest @pinterest decor pins!!

Please let us know in the comments where else local we need to go shop (Edmonton, surrounding cities, even Calgary!) for cute soft furnishing pieces, we’d love another “excuse” to go wander a home decor store for the afternoon!! 🤭🫶🏻🛒

Some-bunny clearly loves pink spring decor… spoile Some-bunny clearly loves pink spring decor… spoiler, it’s me @claudianorris_ !! When I shop for Easter decor if it doesn’t bring me joy it’s just not hopping into my home! 🐰🌷🐣🥕🤎

Okay I’m done with the punny bunny captions haha! But really, I am loving all the sweet spring decor sprinkled around my home… pink bunnies, disco ball eggs, soft florals, and touches of yellow and orange! 

TBH the duck in the rubber boots was a @homesensecanada find and I am obsessed… his little flower “umbrella”?! He brings me SO much joy and I fear he is the definition of whimsical dopamine decor! 🐥☔️

I was chatting with my mom today who reminded me that the Easter decor must be put away soon, and I argued that bunnies, ducks, eggs, and flowers are also all spring things? How long are we keeping up Easter/spring decor?!? Please let me know in the comments… I’m not ready to say goodbye to my whimsical spring decor!!
