Examples: More on Accent Walls

On our last blog talked about why we like accent walls. We wanted to follow up with a few more inspiring examples of creative ways to think outside the designers' box. Colour, texture, paneling, wallpapers, and large murals are all great ways to create an accent wall and focal point in your rooms. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="911"] Although two dimensional, the yellow articulates an office area in this living room.

Dual Purpose Furniture

Small space living calls for furniture that can be used for one than one function. These can be pieces that fold, morph, stack, rotate, expand, or collapse to make the most of the square-footage you're working with. Whether you are downsizing, starting out, or have a funky floor-plan, being able to efficiently use the space you have is a serious skill!  Below we scoured our favourite sources of internet inspiration for a few examples on creative ways to make use...

Inspiration: India

My partner and I came up with a travel list-places we want to go in this crazy world-- from the most adventurous to the most relaxed.  India has been on the top of the list.  I also decided I wanted to do a big trip with each of my now adult kids and their partner.  We travelled a lot as a family when the kids were all still at home but now that they are all at university, traveling together...

The Palette Project #5: Confederation Bridge

This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. Canada is huge-- there's no avoiding that. Connecting place to place can sometimes be a challenge. PEI, nestled off the mainland of Canada in the Maritimes, used to only be accessible by ferry until 1997. The Confederation Bridge replaced the ferries and covers the entire 12.9km span of the Northumberland Strait that flows between PEI and New Brunswick. Crossing the...

Nestled near the waterfront in Halifax, NS is the original location of Alexander Keith's that was originally built in 1820. Over time this handsome brick building has been transformed into a flagship store and historic pub (don't worry it still brews some great...

Curving through the Canada/USA boarder, the Horseshoe falls is the largest of the three waterfalls that spill down the end of the Niagara Gorge.  It is one of those natural wonders that you hear before you see it-- the entire town of Niagara Falls is filled...
