Signs of Spring...

The weather has been absolutely beautiful in Toronto! Everyone seems to be walking a little taller and smiling a little brighter as they take in the afternoon sunlight. This season, lots of products are adorning butterflies - and what a perfect icon to ring in the spring with!

Here are some of our favorite butterfly themed pieces that you can pick up at our showroom!

The butterflies look hand drawn on the pillowcase.

Do you see the butterfly?

Our beautiful butterflies from The Butterfly People in Puerto Rice. They add a soft, delicate touch to any space 

Butterfly Art

Check out this new art!  I love seeing something unusual yet practical to bring a little extra sparkle to a space.

These enchanting collections of butterflies come from The Butterfly People gallery, established in 1970 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  And don't worry, all the butterflies enjoy their short life span and die of natural causes before they're collected from around the world and preserved to create unique art that can last forever.

The tropical butterflies are stored in acrylic cases and I think they're beautiful on their own or as an addition to an existing art collection. They would be great in a child's room or above a sleek white desk.  The cases are also deep enough to stand upright instead of hanging on the wall, so they would work by a lamp on a console too.

Paint, Pianos and Butterflies!

Fresh paint, new artwork and lights, and a beautiful piano - made for a busy day in our showroom yesterday!

First up was to have Derrick paint one of our white walls a pastel purple colour. We wanted this wall to pop and to show off our new piano. The piano is white - and a white piano against a white wall wouldn't have created such an eye-catching scene.

Love the white glass finish and the name 'Romance' perfect for Valentines Day! 

As the paint was drying, Jana and I started to pack up some of our current showroom pieces to make room for something new.

New lights! 

At a closer glance...

fun, seductive - perfect for art history majors!

Last month, Joanna was in Puerto Rico and brought back butterflies! Jana and I had a bit of a challenge hanging them (I can't stand when things are not properly aligned...)

...I wished I had Derrick's laser!

so beautiful and fun!
