MY FAVOURITE DECOR SHOPS IN OTTAWA

I was originally only going to use the first photo below for this post because I REALLY love the space, but then I fell in love with the circle theme going on (especially the huge paper pendant hung low, mimicking the circle in the painted brick). Themes are so fun. Especially when executed so brilliantly and subtly). Again via Kennedy Nolan Architects, photos by Derek Swalwell.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned my lighting obsession (lamp trampness) and blogged some pendants bedside.Today I thought I'd feature a round-up of one of my favourite light fixtures - Tom Dixon's copper shade pendant. OMG this light fixture is HOT. The gorgeous copper colour (forget the bronze or the mirror ball, it's got to be copper), the reflective shine, the simplicity....it's to die for. And I don't own one. YET. But I will. Because I have to.
When devouring the portfolio of photographer Jonas Ingerstedt the other day, I found a few photos with elements I wanted to take note of.
I love wood left in its natural state - even plywood. This wall of shelving is so simple. LOVE!
I am a little distracted by the really cool Magis chairs but after wiping off my drool I noticed the rod along the ceiling - awesome minimalist idea for basic lighting.
And speaking of lighting, I'm still smitten with bare bulb light fixtures, and hanging them in this set-up is really creative. Especially when highlighting objects directly below.
I am a self professed lamp tramp, but I have a particular fondness for pendant lights. It's lighting that does not take up any space - you cannot go wrong with that! I have blogged pendant lighting bedside before, but I am such a fan of this somewhat unconventional bedroom lighting approach that I thought I would feature another round of photos. Happy Friday!
This home in Notting Hill designed by British interior design firm Staffan Tollgård is an absolute dream. The architecture (moldings, gorgeous staircase, massive kitchen window) combined with the dramatic modern/contemporary furnishings and eclectic/funky accents (how cool is that wall of vintage cage pendants, and the random dump truck art in the kitchen) makes this one spectacular home that I could move right into and not change a thing - except I'd lose the dead owl, and switch out the light fixture in the living room for something less pretty.
