The scene unfolds in a spacious, minimalist Canadian living room, the backdrop a subtle palette of snowy whites and soft grays. Large bay windows frame the image, letting in slivers of the Northern lights peeking through the winter sky, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the room. The floor is polished maple, gleaming faintly under the frosty moonlight.

In the center, a stressed mum is kneeling over an IKEA-like manual, surrounded by an array of allen keys, screws, and flat-packed panels. She's wearing plaid pajama pants, a nod to Canadian flannel, and a white, paint-splattered t-shirt. Her hair is comically frazzled, almost standing on end, a few paintbrushes haphazardly stuck in her bun.

Around her, the walls are adorned with empty picture frames, indicating a home mid-renovation. There’s a paint roller leaning against a freshly painted wall with splatters of Arctic white paint across the floor.

To her left, two kids are engrossed in an epic pillow fight. The older child, a boy in a red Mountie hat and a hockey jersey, is mid-swing with a pillow, feathers already exploding like confetti around him. His younger sister, wearing moose antler earmuffs and a maple leaf emblazoned sweater, is countering with a cushion decorated with tiny beavers.

In the background, a cozy fireplace is visible, unlit, with a neat stack of birch logs beside it. Above the mantle, a carved wooden sign reads “Oh Canada!” in a playful script, adding a touch of national pride.

Tucked away in a corner is a half-built bookshelf, next to an open toolbox spilling nails and a hammer onto the floor. A tiny, neglected cake with a single candle flickers quietly on a minimalist coffee table, icing beginning to melt into the stark white surface.

The entire scene is bordered with intricate, whimsical illustrations reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley's style, intertwining maple leaves and curling vines around the edges, adding a touch of delicate elegance to the otherwise chaotic tableau.
