The Syro ceiling pendant by Laura Kirar is all glam, and has all the simple splendor you can fit in 13″. Murano glass and gold discs stream down from the polished bronze finish base. Why oh why does it remind me so much of half finished lemon drop lollipops? Someone needs a sugar fix….
The warm weather has been unseasonably generous lately, the flowers are blooming and I see two birds outside my window today who seem to be seriously considering to build a nest in my growing red maple tree. Few other creatures have been ornamented with such gorgeous colours and vivid plumage! Welcome all my feathered friends, […]
A heavily-framed Mansard Mirror and rustic open shelf vanity have all the charm of a European bath. The warm wood tones are a lovely complement to the steel and glass Pharmacy Bath Cabinet by Restoration Hardware. I am in love with that cabinet! It reminds me of the old fashioned pie and cake display cases […]
Everyone loves a home tour! Especially another lovely home from the Princess Margaret Home Lottery. This grand prize home was designed by Jack Celli of Greenpark Homes. This stunning mirror mosaic tile graces the wall facing the entrance. Talk about first impressions.

The double islands allow the chef to prepare […]
This pretty luminaire dripping with lead crystals from the Kentwood Collection at Decorati would be dashing in many applications. How would you use the Cascade lighting fixture?
The chilly air and perfect snowboarding/ skiing weather has got me thinking about designer lodges, particularly the stellar lodges by Architect Michael Upwall. Born in Utah, Michael understands the temperments and overall glory of beautiful Utah, where he designed this ultimate skiers haven.
