DESIGN IN THE MAKING | SNAPSHOT

We're catching bliss on the West Coast, working on a Gulf Island home. 

It's hard not to to grab a blanket, take a nap and dream under the forest! 

GRAFITTI INSPIRATION

Mural by RETNA, a graffiti artist in New York City is known for his distinctive hieroglyphs melding ancient languages to create his own. Read his poem below, so cool it took our breath away. 

‘All the great ones are conscious of universal truths’
‘Watch the heartbeat in your wrist- a precise pulsing beat of life’s drum- with loss of timing you are ill’
‘The power of the world always works in circles’

KITCHEN GADGET WORTHY OF DISPLAY

Yea, a kitchen gadget you can leave out on your counter|
Meet Edwin, a beauty of a sustainable fruit squeezer, born from the intention of producing everlasting electrodomestics. Edwin is an electric squeezer made of wood and ceramics, with components that are easily replaceable. In case Edwin needs to be disposed, its components can be disposed separatedly for their proper disposal.

CANADIAN HOUSE & HOME STYLING GIG | COME ONE, COME ALL

I've worked as a stylist for Canadian House and Home for about 10 years, I get to visually eavesdrop on how people live, what they value and what's missing (that's when I get a a call) Shopping for props and creating visual stories is my art form, from humble flats to luxurious homes, we all get a sneak peak into the lives of others. 

Wouldn't you love to be invited for a dip in this cool pool?
