MY FAVOURITE DECOR SHOPS IN OTTAWA

Yesterday I shared a round-up of photos featuring plants as decor. I understand that some people don't have a green thumb and plants aren't really their thing....so how about plant wallpaper? Bringing the outdoors in but keeping it inanimate. Because you can't kill wallpaper!
I adore plants. They are all over my house. I love the idea of bringing the outdoors in, especially when nothing grows outside here for about 6 months of the year. And plants are a fairly inexpensive method of decorating....except when you're like me and kill off 75% of them, and the other 25% get torn to shreds by feral cats in the middle of the night. One day I vow to do a photo series on the plants I have around my house that I have not managed to kill. In the meantime here is a round-up of some pretty awesome spaces decorated with plants.
It's not often that I start a house tour from the back door and move my way to the front but I am totally smitten by the sun room at the rear of this converted carriage house in Boston by interior designer Melissa Miranda. Oh my! Oh my! Not that the rest of the house isn't wonderful. White and bright with a mix of mid century, scandi, boho and modern it is fun and fresh and stylish.
I wanted to share one more small project by the talented ladies of Studio Revolution. This one may have been a bit of a challenge with one homeowner loving anything french and the other loving their backyard. In the end they brought together lots of greenery against a neutral palette of jute, hides, leather, linens and cashmere with a definite French feel (with a bit of help from Restoration Hardware - I have always had a thing for their Soho Tufted collection).
Unlike Jo I couldn't live further from the tropics, but what better way to bring the tropics indoors than some green walls and huge plants. This home definitively evokes a tropical vibe within a modern shell. I have plant and dining table envy. Interior design by Roelfien Vos.
