tom, drum end table to settee

This room is fabulous! I’d love to be in it in person. First thing I gasped about: of course, the settees. I love settees. They’re so French & girly & romantic. These two settees look a little worn, but loved – like they could tell many wonderful stories. They look like the real deal old to me too, not reproductions. That’s so classy! I own an original oldie settee and cherish it SO much.

Second thing I gasped about: the shinny tom drum being used as an end table next to the wicker settee. Oh my! Such an unexpected mix… I’m pleasantly surprised and delighted to see the two paired together. How clever. How thrifty. How “outside of the box”! This photo inspires me to be on the lookout for an old tom drum for my own home. Maybe at the local Goodwill? Or maybe in a neighbor’s trash pile? LOL – wishful thinking here.

canadian house & home magazine dining room with settee

Let me begin by saying that I must have said “omg! omg! omg!” at least 10 days at first seeing this dining room. Everything about it is divine! Worthy of a “Love at First Gasp” post. Poppytalk (located in Vancover) introduced me to Canadian House & Home magazine & now I am hooked. No need to be physically in Canada to appreciate it’s decor. This photo was in Canadian House & Home’s online sample magazine under the topic: Indie Chic. Well, I guess I’m a fan of Indie then! The owners of this home are a very creative duo: Matt Carr (industrial designer) & Joyce Jo (fashion designer/retailer). I’m already a fan of their home decor taste – I imagine their other work is brilliant as well.
