MY FAVOURITE DECOR SHOPS IN OTTAWA

A couple of months ago Jo featured a project by Brazilian architect Felipe Hess that was fresh and colourful with some fun graphic patterns. I came across this project of Felipe's that is quite the opposite. Not what we typically see from a Brazilian - this one is very subdued, modern and minimalist. I love it for those reasons. And because someone clearly has great taste in chairs (Hans Wegner's Hoop and Peacock).
An easy way to add some drama to your home is with colour. Yellow is the happiest colour of all so why not paint your kitchen chairs/stairs/buffet yellow, or tile your bathroom yellow, or have your entire staircase fabricated in yellow...
I had to share these 2 beauties as well by Brian Paquette. You can't go wrong with brown leather Panton S chairs (*GASP*) and I want to curl up in that second photo with a book and some tea and maybe have a granny nap.
I have a chair addiction. There I said it. Occasional, wingback, tub, slipper, big, small, classic or contemporary. Show me a comfy seat and a sexy little leg and I'm smitten. Which is why I couldn't wait for my new chair from Brosa's armchair collection to arrive. Online furniture retailer Brosa reached out to me a few weeks ago and one thing lead to another and suddenly I had a new man, I mean chair, in my life. Meet Oscar ... the Oscar Armchair.
Australian-based online furniture retailer Brosa believes that the most special place on the planet is your home and you deserve to fill it with beautiful, craftsman-made furniture. They connect you directly with the makers, cutting out the high markups. Great furniture at a great price. Using the website is so easy. Beautiful pieces to choose from and a great selection of colours. You can even order fabric swatches before you choose. I love the Amelia (for my bedroom?) and the Helene (dressing room?) and I'm trying to figure out how to squeeze a Florence Velvet Chesterfield into my house. My Oscar Armchair has soft subtle curves and a low-profile look with natural oak wood legs to contrast with the colourful Warwick Fabric upholstery. I chose Moreton Teal but there are so many other colours available. The look is modern and stylish, a great addition to the eclectic, boho vibe I have in my own home. Low but super comfortable with great support the chair makes a top spot for reading and flipping through my phone. There are even 2 seater and 3 seater options.
At Brosa they work with the talented furniture designers from around the world bringing you unique designer pieces at a fraction of the cost of buying in a retail store. These designs are then brought to life by their master craftsmen and delivered straight to your home. Every Brosa designer piece is made in batches to minimize operational costs and also avoid wastage of materials. A timer on each product indicates when the next batch of production starts. Once the timer reaches zero production begins on all orders placed.
