New Trend – The Domed Chair

I keep seeing these chairs pop up and thought I’d mention them.  They are called Domed Chairs and apparently they have been around since 18th century France.  It is a strange look to me and I’m not entirely sold yet.  It’d have to be a pretty open minded client and eclectic space before I would [...]

A Guy named Christopher

I recently discovered furniture by designer Christopher Guy.  Born in Britain, raised in Spain and France, and now residing in Singapore, his pieces are influenced by his international background.  His pieces are definitely unique to say the least!  He has some really pretty pieces that I really liked.  He also has really strange pieces as well that [...]

Standing Alone…

There is something very elegant, dramatic, and just sensuous about a ‘free-standing bathtub!’  Though seen as not always practical, and not suitable for a small bathroom space, you can probably agree that it is a beautiful look!  Free-standing bathtubs allow for one to truly appreciate the look from ALL sides, and is a great way to [...]

Pouf!

I’m loving this trend towards poufs…..basically a fancy word for a cross between a floor pillow and an ottoman.  Even the name is cute!  They’ve been around for a while now but they are increasingly becoming available in unique and different fabrics.  They are such a casual way to add seating and interest to a room [...]

Move to Bali?

I was watching HGTV a while ago and they had a show on where they were looking for real estate in Bali.  I was so stunned by what you can get for your money there.  For $320,000 USD which will virtually not buy you anything but a cardboard box these days in Vancouver, in Bali [...]

Why Oval?!

Have been on the hunt this week for an oval coffee table option for one of our projects.  Why oval?  I think it’s a bit more original of a shape than square, rectangle or round and sometimes the shape just better fits the room.   It is usually a good alternative option when the space is [...]
