Marble and Chrome Coffee Table

Smart Round Marble Top Coffe Table cb2

The smart round marble top coffee table by cb2 is a simple and elegant table that could be used in so many settings. If you are a stylish 20-something just starting your furniture collection in your new apartment, or a hip older generation ready to flip your old table for something new, well this has your name written all over it. Carrara style marble has that ink blot sublinimal effect on me.

Cottage Fresh

Cape Breton Cottage Walk Up

When plan A (a glass and steel contemporary structure) and plan B (a repurposed church house with 50′ ceilings) were not feasable on this windy hilltop in Cape Breton, Eliot and Alexandra Angle decided upon a simply marvellous barn-style cottage that is as fresh as the air around it. Take a look inside…..

This rug sample just came in from Surya! If any room was looking for a punch of texture, this certainly is a great way to do so. Each strand is about as thick as your pinky finger, so the scale is very interesting. The Aros rug is made of 100% New Zealand felt wool.

Loft Size Appliances

GE Appliances Loft Series

You have no idea just how excited I was when I found these appliances! They are stainless steel and look pretty much the same as all the other appliances out there you say? Well, yes, but LOOK at the overall dimensions! 24″…..for a fridge? Pricing is not to shabby either. For the average suburban homeowner this may not be a big deal, but for a cramped condo city dweller, the smaller appliances mean so much more. What does it mean? Well, 24″ or so of increased cabinet space goes a long way way when you don’t have place to store dishtowels, pots, or dry pantry items.

Murray Feiss is a wonderfully crafted lighting company that carries an impressive line of fixtures that range from: just-found-in-the-attic-of-the-18th-century-home, to a lovely sleek contemporary style. The pendant on the far left is from the Arabesque family, the central pendant is from the Kinsey line, and the far right is from the Ethan collection.

Urban Corner Glass Shower

Maax Urban Corner Glass Shower Rainmax

The Collection Line by Maax is incredibly inspirational, and the Urban Shower is one of their shining examples. It is a wonderful option for a shower when you don’t want to break up a large bathroom with walls, but want to have a contained space for luxurious showering. See the large overhead component? That is the Rainmax square showerhead, it’s massive when you compare it to regular 8″ “rain shower heads” from competitors, because the rainmax is like standing in a clearing in the Amazon during rainy season. It’s pretty much that amazing.

Do you like the look and creative edge that can only come from a hand-painted mural but you don’t consider yourself an artist? No worries!
