Turns out they have some fabulous finds at some reasonable (and some at not so reasonable) prices. I was especially drawn to their chair collection because they have so many fun styles. I admit I love using a modern or fun fabric on a traditional piece to give it a more eclectic feel. You see alot of that kind of style here and it gives the furniture a more “custom” look. Many of their chairs would be great as a “feature” piece in a living room or as an unconventional desk chair. I’ve selected a few of my favorites to share with you!

I’ve spent this morning drooling over Restoration Hardware’s new patio collection. Yes, it does seem premature to be thinking about Patio Furniture but you know how it is……if you wait until the weather is actually ready and it is nice out, everything will be sold out by then! Have a deck or patio to construct or furnish? Now is the perfect time to start ordering. Here are some ideas for you from Restoration Hardware……especially love the Stone Fire Table from the St. Barts Collection! ![]() Belvedere Collection

And for many of us city dwellers, we are not blessed with the luxury of things such as entry closets and foyers. Therefore, we are at the mercy of finding alternatives such as wall hooks, slopp’n coats on the arm of a sofa or chair, and coat hangers! For me personally, whatever that may be, it has to look fantastic while serving its function as there are very few pieces I can actually introduce into my space. I thought i’d dedicate this post to some of the coolest coat hangers i’ve come across. Funky, innovative, and artistic are just a few adjectives to describe the following examples- of which all wont fit your taste but I hope you can atleast appreciate! ![]() image from www.bonaldo.it ILLUMINATED BATTISTA by Bonaldo Italy

![]() image from www.tsunamiglassworks.com I was introduced to this designer not too long ago at a Trade Show where she displayed these beautiful, unique, and truly sculptural pieces of glass artwork. I found her work so intriguing as it brought so many aspects in function and form to glass that I would never had imagined before! The colors, textures, forms, applications, and compositions has truly taken my breath away! On top of all that, she’s Canadian!!! From decorative and functional vases, to wall plaques, to suspended glass fixtures, to tile- she has done it all!

Anyone out there looking to do a kitchen renovation this year? The kitchen is typically the most expensive room of the house to reno but it is also the one that will add the most value for both living and resale. Because kitchen renovations are usually bigger jobs that require much attention to detail, there are many things that can easily go wrong. Make sure to educate yourself before you start so that you know the in’s and out’s of what to expect for your reno. I came across these top 10 tips for a kitchen renovation on the Style At Home website. I found the information to be quite informative and thought I would share! 1 Use quality materials. 2 Determine cabinet heights. 3 Decide whether to paint or stain. 4 Select an elegant countertop. 5 Install an island that works.
Beware of placing a bulky cube in the middle of the room. We like islands that have an open, airy look. Ideally, an island should be unencumbered by appliances, but if you want it to house a dishwasher-sink combo or a cooktop, try to maintain the light look of a leggy harvest table. 6 Don’t overdo the details. 7 Avoid maintenance nightmares.
Natural surfaces with inherent texture — slate, terra-cotta, brick and tumbled marble — are more difficult to clean but camouflage the odd crumb. Smooth surfaces in light colours, such as white laminate counters or ceramic floors, are easy to clean but show everything. And as much as we love stainless steel, it’s not easy to keep smudge-free.
8 Stick to basic appliances. 9 Incorporate an adjacent dining room. 10 Add interest. [via: Style At Home]
I’m always looking for an excuse for new pillows……now that the Olympics in Vancouver are over (*sniff sniff), and spring is in the air, what better time than now to give your rooms some new life with new pillows! I love pillows because such a small detail goes a long way. By changing out a few pillows, you can change the look and feel of a room without crippling the wallet! Here are 10 of my favorites for Spring 2010:
Cooking up a “Sustainable” Storm!!! - Re-Nest DRAMA in the bathroom- Apartment Therapy Mies van der Rohe REVAMPED!- Dezeen A LOG Cabin like never before… - PicoCool Simply Simple, a bulb within a globe- LikeCool ![]() image from www.tomdixon.net Typically in lighting design you will find maybe 2, possibly 3 maximum variations of one style whether it be in design or size. When it comes to finishes or colors, there might actually be many options but this does not drastically change the effect of light fixtures in most cases. This goes for pendants, lamps, chandeliers, wall fixtures etc… but if anything most of the time you’ll come along only one available option for any given design. Therefore, creating dynamic, layered, and impactful compositions with lighting can become very challenging without making it look “hodge-podge’ or too busy when using multiple designs! The new BEAT by Tom Dixon helps to overcome this challenge by taking elegant and organic forms to create a series of completely interchangeable fixtures. Where one curves in-another curves out-where one curves up-another curves down. Through also keeping a consistent finish: black painted exterior with a hand-beaten brass interior- the focus becomes the shape & form, truly allowing for you to express and create a dynamic composition playing with height variations, asymmetry, positive/negative space, light, and even dropping some pendants down to the floor!
