MY FAVOURITE DECOR SHOPS IN OTTAWA

We got our hands on some photos of the home of Ross and his wife Evelyn. Ross is the founder of FleaPop - a brand-new online marketplace for once-loved goods (it's Etsy meets Craigslist meets Pinterest). Their home is a cool little bungalow in Laurel Canyon, LA that is open-concept and bright, with a fab yard...but the best part might be their 4 legged roomie. ;)
Is it really five years since we were introduced to the work of Summer Thornton on Desire to Inspire? As is my habit I'll skip back and forward through our archives and click over to websites to see what the designers and photographers, stylists and architects have been up to since we last visited. Imagine the smile that spread across my face when I revisited Summer Thornton Design and discovered her take on the bachelor pad. Masculine and multilayered, elegant yet casual when needed. A touch of humour and bucket loads of style.
She describes herself as Los Angeles based Portrait and Interiors Photographer. I describe her as genius. Her work is crisp and simple yet packed with everything you need to know. Or should I say everything you need to covet especially if your thing is retro. Beautiful use of positive and negative space and colour as punctuation point. Take me away to a retrolicious land Beth Coller.
This is San Francisco living at its finest, at the hands of Fougeron Architecture. Before the jump is their Flip House, aptly named because the project was a complete flip of the home's facade and interior spaces that reinvented its typography. The faceted glass walls are fantastic and create an interesting depth while maximizing light flowing through the home. They are superstars at showcasing the surroundings in the most beautiful ways. Gorgeous!
It isn't so much a look. It's a connection. That tug at your heart, the stirring of a memory in your design mind. Dreams and history and reminiscence. I've never met Seattle based interior designer Brian Paquette, never lived in his part of the world but there is something. A connection. A link. An understanding. A love of what he creates. The simplicity, the honesty, the beauty.
