Months and months ago, when we still lived in Nelson, we found this chair at a thrift store for four dollars. It has been in storage at my dear parents’ house since we moved to Vancouver. We brought it back with us on our last visit there a few weeks ago. The wood was very [...]
This is pretty much my new favorite place. These are pictures taken this morning at a salvage yard in Burnaby. Ryan and I would some day like to build a house with materials bought exclusively at this salvage yard. We bought a 100-year-old barn door for ten dollars! In all the excitement (there was another [...]
I was flipping through Readymade’s book How to Make (Almost) Everything and came across the project pictured above. I love that it uses recycled material, but looks really modern. The instructions can be found here but if you don’t have the book, I highly recommend buying it. This is another lighting project from Readymade magazine, [...]
Toile. I think it’s one of my favorite words. Twahhl. The fabric can be rather matronly, though. A few months ago, I saw a toile pillow in an article on the Canadian House & Home website featuring Canadian bloggers (article has since been removed). It was in a really great shot of Arren Williams’ home, [...]

It’s like bringing a Parisian bistro home. They’re sold at Design Within Reach here and, with for slightly cheaper at Pottery Barn here. I [...]
Norwegian photographer Trine Thorsen’s portfolio is absolutely stunning. Each photo makes me think, well, I want to go to there. The other day I bought a little record cabinet (for Ryan’s thinned out, but still huge, record collection) and the woman who was selling it had a fantastic vintage metal locker as well. We passed [...]
This photo is from anthropologie, seen here. I absolutely love the feel of this photo – the feel of worn-down vintage mixed with clean and modern. Mmm. But these items are just a wee bit out of my budget. So I decided to track down some (much) cheaper alternatives to create a similar look. (No [...]
