Got the Blues

BLUE is continuing to pop up all around us. A is still looking for the perfect beautiful blue sofa for her living room. I am thinking a pretty wall tapestry and some throw pillows in my bedroom... What about you? Do you have the blues yet? We sure hope so! ;)

Inside Out

I'm not sure about where you folks are, but in Vancouver it is already HOT! How do we celebrate that? Besides cocktails? Outdoor decor of course. This year you don't have to be the rich and famous to bring the appeal of your living room outside. It's much more affordable to buy sectionals, outdoor rugs and other decor for your patio. Take a gander at our favorite outdoor shops & styles!

How do you feel about the contemporary style, vs the normal bright & cheery style people tend to use outside?

Cheers!

Natural Rug Roundup

Mixing elements is a must. If you are struggling with bringing in the natural one, a rug is a subtle way to tie it all together. Now that materials have come a long way, it's easy to find the perfect colour and texture for your space. We love how the natural fibres really let the furniture and other peices shine. Here are a few of our favourites:

Pottery Barn

Williams-Sonoma

Overstock.com

Frenchdressing.com

To the dark side

So obviously we love white on white, on white , on white. However, over on Pinterest today I found myself feeling liberated. These rooms below are dramatic and rich, but not gloomy! It's almost inspired me to paint a dark feature wall in my living room! Take a look at some of my favourites from today.

 

 

See what I mean? Which is your favourite?

The Mighty Jungle

If you're over winter, and ready for some tropics - we have a cure for you. Tropical motifs are popping up everywhere. Whether it be a wall feature, furniture or simply some throw pillows, I dare you to bring this hot trend into your home. Take a look at some of our favorite inspirations.

First Impressions

It's the first thing you see when you walk into a home, the first impression if you will. So, why not make it as fresh and fashionable as the rest of your home? Whether it be some of your favorite art, clothing or a good book, add something to your entry way that starts a conversation. These cats did a great job at that, take a look...

I know what you're thinking - but, where's all their crap? These people must not have children. Don't worry, we have some secrets up our sleeves for storage, which we promise to share later!
