dwell fabrics fresh for spring

Fresh for spring, our custom Silva upholstery has arrived in Dwell Studio fabrics. Drawing inspiration from a wide variety of sources, including vintage fabrics, and nature, a lot of the drawings are done by hand. DwellStudio products are made of the highest quality cotton and linen available, and meet all criteria for eco-friendly pigments. The different patterns work beautifully together - mix, don't match!

lounging on the tribeca loft

I'm reminded of my art college days of hanging out with my friends, with great discussions of painting, photography, politics and life, as we posted our work on the walls for critiques and contemplations. We would have loved the new Tribeca loft sofa design from contemporary Canadian upholsterer G.Romano in Montreal. This down-filled, slip-covered sofa with loose back cushions and arms invites lounging and creative musings. Come visit us and be inspired.

drip dry in style

The Dishgarden has just arrived in our Halifax store. Even though I have a dishwasher, and try to avoid handwashing dishes at all costs, this new dish rack has me re-thinking my life choices. I want to put this dishrack on my counter just because I want to look at it.
The DishGarden is perfect for small and large dishes, even pots and pans! And it has 2 utensil holders which can be moved around based on the other items drying in the rack. The DishGarden fits perfectly in the sink or can be used on the counter-top. Plus there is a silicone spout which drains the excess water.

Even if you already have a dishwasher, you just might want to give the Dishgarden a try!

Today is Earth Day! As we each look towards contibuting in various ways towards sustainability, it's time to remember that even small acts count, such as the products that we buy. With this in mind, Umbra has introduced a wide range of eco-friendly products, that still maintain a great sense of style.A winner of numerous design awards , the iconic Garbino garbage can from Umbra is now made with corn-based plastic.

The Etz and Cheeto frames are made with eco-friendly, plantation grown rubberwood.

Made from bamboo, a highly renewable resource, this expandable bathtub caddy has a built in wine glass holder and fold away book support.
