What to do with all those leftover corks? Here’s an idea from Design Within Reach. Previously, DWR and I were in a big fight. I had ordered Ash a very high-tech air purifier for Christmas to cure all his allergy related ailments – and they never bothered to send it. And when I called, they really could [...]
Remember when I bought you that lamp? I should have waited and let you open the box yourself, then it would have seemed like more of a gift. Lamp from Poetic Home, the shop of Grace Light (could there be a prettier name?). Grace has a blog too. And now I have light.
We’re getting a new couch. At first we were all in love with our leather Liberty beauty. It was basically free at $999 marked down from $2499, but more importantly it was a floor model. Who can wait 4 to 6 weeks for a couch delivery? Not us. So, we dragged it home and threw [...]

Photos found via Bodie and Fou Everyone needs a sacred place. Ash and I talked this morning about how I am meant for a studio life. You know, the little studio in the backyard where creative endeavours flourish and champagne is taken midday, mid-word, mid-serenity. I love how he indulges me. The photos above are [...]

I hate when I venture onto someone’s blog only to find a long, chastising post about how they are such a bad, bad blogger for not writing lately.

Here are a few that set me alight: From Absolutely Beautiful Things From Paper & Ink Studio From Velocity Art & Design Happy Champagne Wednesday. [...]

since I started blogging. Taking the time to admire a package… before ripping it open. Taking long sips of cold champagne… and photos so I can keep tasting it. This is the bottle of champagne that was waiting for me behind the concierge desk of the Hotel Vancouver. Part of my champagne-infused race around town [...]
What I wouldn’t give this morning for this big, comfy chair we saw in Paris. A field for mid-afternoon daydreaming. A perch from which to watch the world go by. A space uncensored by reality. Our Ikea chairs, on the other hand, are about to break, despite the reinforcing screws that Ash put in. Didn’t we say we’d [...]

I have been just dying to get back to a colourful little grouping of antique stores I saw once on a drive back from Harrison Hot Springs. Many a weekend, I dreamed of those 4 or 5 stores with their tables and lamp bases and retro chairs spilling out from their lead glass doors. Treasures [...]
