You don’t need a sprawling backyard to create outdoor magic. With the right staging, even the tiniest patio or balcony can become a stylish extension of your living space—especially in the summer market!

Father’s Day is a beautiful reminder to slow down and celebrate the men who love, guide, and support their families in countless ways. For us, it’s a day full of love, memories, and deep gratitude—for our dad, our husbands, and all the incredible fathers out there.
Our dad, Pat Rocca, was a man of great vision and even greater heart. He wasn’t just our father—he was a builder of dreams and communities, especially in Saint John, New Brunswick, where his legacy is deeply rooted. In 2017, on New Brunswick Day, the city honoured him by renaming the North Market Wharf to Pat Rocca Way—a moment of profound pride for our entire family.
That street, Pat Rocca Way, runs…
