Not a very humble title but I’m a little stoked to have my bright and fresh country kitchen win the Silver award for CDECA’s Decorating and Design Awards.
I thought I’d share the Youtube video showcasing my cottage kitchen.
Very exciting for me! And I’d like to say a big congratulations to all the 2017 winners.
Artemano’s grand opening last night was a great evening. Lots of wonderfully dressed people came out to welcome this new store to Ottawa’s design landscape.
Vintage pieces like the door above, mix with the organic. Btw – I took these pictures about a week before the event so that I got clearer views.
This daybed was a favourite spot to sit and get your photo taken.
This little desks are just the cutest things.
These bell lanterns had me at HELLO! I am seriously bothering the better half to get one installed at the cottage.
This bedroom was my favourite space, from the textured, stacked wood wall, to the moody blue/gray walls, to the Leonard Cohen quote (which coincidentally I had on my website for many years), to the huge and glamourous mirror, to the dramatic basket lights, and finally to that BED!
It was a great evening, filled with fabulous wine, great food, wonderful live music, and lots of very thrilled Ottawans to have another great furniture store in the Capital. Thanks to all who attended!
PS. I also wrote a short write up for Ottawa at Home’s blog, click here to read it.
Now back to France and Italy. 🙂
When I’m travelling, I am always looking up at the beautiful ceilings and down at the floors. And I was certainly captivated by some of the beautiful and painstakingly crafted floors that we saw in France and Italy.
Here is just a few:
This one above is actually terra cotta tile, it’s a local type only found in the Lake Como area.
I don’t know about you, but my floors are BOOORRRRIIIINNNNGGG!
