A visit to The Modern Shop
Tue, 9 Aug 2016
My favourite Ottawa shop for modern home decor goodness is The Modern Shop. I have visited this shop on more occasions than I could ever count and have spent more money here than I care to calculate. :) The other day owner Michael Shaikin suggested the husband and I stop by for a visit as he had just finished a makeover of the shop - he didn't need to twist my arm! Some walls painted black, floors painted in Farrow & Ball's Calamine (like my dining room - WOOT!), and super fabulous and funky wallpaper (Studio Job Alt Deutsch Wallpaper by NLXL)...it's fresh and fun and looks fantastic! Plus he used my wallpaper/painter guy who is amazing so Mike owes me a serious discount on that Moooi rug I ordered I think for hooking him up. ;)
It was tough to photograph the pink floors properly in this light but the photo above is a decent attempt. Looks gorgeous with the Era Lounge Chair by Normann Copenhagen.
Tom Dixon accessories. SO HOT.
Jonathan Adler accessories. SO FUN.
A little bit of this, and a little bit of that.
Stuff and things.
I love this shot. It's lighting HEAVEN! Hellooooo Tom Dixon etch pendant!
About A Chair by Hay Denmark - a sweet alternative to Eames chairs
Liiiiiiiights!
Wall stuffs
HELLO! (This rose coloured Framed Mirror by Muuto is SOOOO pretty!)
I love everything Ferm Living.
Wall of chairs and stools. Stools and chairs.
I have been lusting after this Flos Taccia lamp...
Ok. I reeeeeeally want this Offcut Counter Stool by Tom Dixon. Imagine it in the corner of my living room against my Farrow & Ball Downpipe walls. The neon orange is UNREAL in person.
A light I have been dreaming about since the dawn of time. Ingo Maurer Lucellino lamp.
A Normann Copenhagen classic that I bought Jo years ago and shipped to her in a care package yet I haven't bought myself one. Krenit bowls.
I have a set of these bottle grinders by Menu designed by Norm Architects and they are by far the best set of salt & pepper grinders I have ever owned. GET YOURSELF A SET!
More Ferm Living. I bought one of these brass hexagon pots recently to use in my kitchen to hold large utensils.

It looks gorgeous! I've never been to the store, only the website. Someday... I did order a bed from the Modern Shop a few years ago (the Modernica Case Alpine bed, in fact) and Michael was a joy to work with. I recommend the MS frequently for selection and outstanding service. PS I love that bed.
