Party day

I'd like to wish all my fellow Canadians a Happy Canada Day. On this day I hope you're all hanging out at a cottage consuming exorbitant amounts of beer and having a fun day off. It's supposed to thunderstorm here in the nation's capital which will put a wee bit of a damper (ha) on festivities down at Parliament Hill. Anyhoo, in keeping with the theme of the day, I thought I'd post some photos of red and white spaces. Enjoy - and don't drink and drive kids.

Atlanta Bartlett

Now for more white on white. This time as promised, the work of interior stylist Atlanta Bartlett. GORG!! (Aren't we all wishing right about now that we had a cottage to do up all white and relaxed like this??!!)

Dave Coote

Brace yourselves. Dare I say that featured below are little slices of heaven. White on white on white. It really doesn't get more glorious than that. Created by Dave Coote - furniture designer, interior designer, cabin builder, location agency owner and soon-to-be online boutique owner. (His wife's work will be featured here later today).

Bleh

I am coming down with something (no surprise as the guy in the cube next to me at work has been off all week with strep throat) so I was looking through my photo stash for a little pick-me-up. Found these from Bolig Magasinet. Now I'm smiling. White spaces with bright hits of colour always manage to get me going.

A heavenly bathroom

I received an email this morning that totally made my day. Here's what Dylan wrote: "I just wanted to write as a local Ottawan and say that I am a big fan of your blog and follow it daily. If you're interested, I've attached a couple of pics of my bathroom that we completed last year. I'm a future designer (currently in school) and this is my first real project. It is in keeping with the style that your blog seems to feature (neo-baroque?). Anyhow, thanks for posting so many amazing pics! Its nice to see good design does exist in Ottawa!" This renovated bathroom is straight out of my dreams. And since I have 2 totally awful bathrooms to redo eventually, I think I'll be looking Dylan up for some advice and sources. Be still my heart. (Dylan, you've got an amazing career ahead of you).
