Lofty living at The Edge in GastownPosted by: naomi @ 10:55 pm in home decor, interiors |
This past weekend, Ryan and I had the lovely opportunity to pay a visit to my friend Tara who happens to live in the most gorgeous loft I’ve ever been in. My eyeballs basically fell out of my face as soon as I stepped inside. The building itself is called The Edge and was built about 10 years ago in the historic Gastown/Railtown area of Vancouver. I could write a huge long blurb about this place but I know what you really want are the photos. Show me the photos!!
Brace yourselves.

Vintage for your home and youPosted by: naomi @ 12:28 am in featured shops, home decor |
I love scouring Etsy for new stores offering great vintage wares and theblogbloglog is no exception. Shop owner Libby Alexander’s current obsessions are lamps, chairs and silver spoons and describes her style as: Mid-century modern with a bit of LOL and Rustic Regency.

Interior Design Show West (IDSWest)Posted by: naomi @ 8:07 pm in events, home decor |
IDSWest took place this past weekend at the Vancouver Convention Centre and boy was there a ton of eye-candy. There was no shortage of vendors, designers and independent contractors with various displays for people to look at. Pictures speak louder than words so take a look at the plethora of visuals after the jump.

Stepback – Vintage home decor and accessoriesPosted by: naomi @ 9:28 pm in featured shops, home decor |
It’s the end of summer and I’m trying to make the most of the rain-free days by being outside and poking my head into the shops in my neighborhood. There are a ton of places to explore around my area but I usually find myself inside Stepback, perusing the shelves stocked high and full with glorious vintage treasures, refurbished antiques and quality retro reproductions. I love the selection and rarely leave empty handed.

Inspired living in a converted Gastown loftPosted by: naomi @ 12:03 am in interiors, people |
Located at 55 East Cordova in the heart of Gastown in Vancouver, Koret Lofts is a heritage building featuring units with high ceilings, brick walls and a European flare to the interior furnishings. Built in 2006, this building contains 118 suites spanning 6 floors. The last time we stopped by we profiled Sally, her cat and a few of her favorite vintage pieces. The apartment she lives in is just as lovely and it would be criminal not to share the photos.

Embarrassing moment of the centuryPosted by: naomi @ 10:41 pm in home decor, vintage finds |
I’ve been on the hunt for a new fruit bowl for the past few weeks and stopped by one of my favorite vintage/antiques shops in my neighborhood – Step Back (I’ll be doing a separate post on this shop in the future). I saw this really cool looking vintage Red Cross bowl with a handle and red faded paint lining the rim. The Red Cross logo on the side was a cool feature and I felt like this would be the perfect fruit bowl on my kitchen counter.

Ryan and I are always on the lookout for cool and unique items so we were super excited when we spotted these awesome tablecloths. These fun table covers are made from vintage, wipe-clean vintage oil cloths and imported from Argentina. They’re available over at LAMA: Specially curated finds for the culturally inclined.
