We Hung Out

On July 15, 2010, in Products, by Karla

So, you may have read that Ikea is starting to grow on me. Well, UPDATE: we hung out yesterday. And it was G.R.E.A.T.
The original purpose of the trip {cause we all know how it goes with Ikea shopping…} was to pick up this high chair for Carys, which I’ll be doing a minor Ikea-hack to and painting [...]

Ikea, can we be friends?

On July 7, 2010, in Products, by Karla

Ikea,
Can we be friends?
I have to confess, for years I’ve not been too fond of you….
Maybe I spent too many childhood years putting together lego, but all those pieces required to assemble your furniture just turned me off. I can’t say I enjoy spending 2 hours screwing in a million screws with those tiny tools in order [...]

{The Madness Continues} Pottery Barn Palace Outdoor Pillow

On June 12, 2010, in My Home, Products, by Karla

I saw this pillow from Pottery Barn online awhile back and went mad for it…A pair of them would be perfect for the bench on my deck!

I loved how it had that John Robshaw, Indian block print feel that everyone is crazy for at the moment {for a very very nice pricepoint…$32}. For some reason though, I [...]

Art Print from Persimmon and Pink Etsy Shop

On April 9, 2010, in Decorating, Etsy, My Home, Products, by Kerrisdale Design

I came across this lovely “I am a child of God” print via Caitlin Wilson Style Files blog. She used it in her daughters nursery and I had to have one for Carys’ room too!

I ordered the pink version from Persimmon and Pink’s Etsy shop:

I plan to pop it in an antique gold frame I already [...]

Random Lovelies Courtesy of Anthropologie

On April 7, 2010, in Good Stuff, Products, by Kerrisdale Design

I don’t often frequent the Anthropologie site, and in fact I’ve never even been to a store in person. But I found myself on their site last night and spent some time browsing. Here are some lovelies I came across….many of them perfect Christmas stocking stuffers if you are an organized enough person to shop [...]

Eames Management Chair

On March 31, 2010, in Decorating, My Home, Products, by Kerrisdale Design

As I have mentioned before, I’m trying to get our office looking a little prettier over the next month or so, and another component to the plan arrived yesterday!
I have long coveted the Eames Management chair. I adore the edgy contrast of how a white one looks paired with a rougher wood table or desk, [...]

A Good Day – Random Highlights
1. Waking up to sunshine and Ben crawling into our bed for a “tuddle” (cuddle). Love that boy.

3. Hitting Main street in Vancouver (great for vintage/antique shopping) to [...]

Cole & Son's "Magnolia" Wallpaper …. Obsessed!

On March 25, 2010, in Decorating, My Home, Products, by Kerrisdale Design

Though Carys’ bedroom isn’t on the priority list right now (poor girly!), as there are lot’s of other things to finish up around here first, that hasn’t stopped me from THINKING about how I’ll decorate her room when the time comes!
For ages I was sure on colours etc and the general direction for [...]

Hi all,
I’m back after being off for Spring Break! Hope you have enjoyed/are enjoying Spring Break too!
We were just up at our local Home Depot to grab something and check out the new Martha Stewart products that are in. Funny how you can walk in to pick up a hook and come out with something [...]

Happy Valentine's Day, and a Gift

On February 14, 2010, in Events, Good Stuff, Products, by Kerrisdale Design

Just a quick note to say Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you have something lovely planned!
I think we are going to make a nice family dinner tonight to celebrate, and I know Ben is excited about giving Mommy, Daddy, and Carys Valentine’s after the fun he had with his preschool friends exchanging them this week. Want [...]

There's No Place Like Home

On December 18, 2009, in Good Stuff, Products, by Kerrisdale Design

If Dorothy Gale were a Vancouverite, would her ruby slippers look like this?

Earlier in the week it had appeared that Christmas had definitely arrived (according to Ben anyhow, to whom snow=Christmas). After I spent Tuesday afternoon frantically searching for new snow boots for Ben so he could enjoy the winter wonderland outside (helping Daddy shovel, [...]

On December 10, 2009, in Good Stuff, News, Products, by Kerrisdale Design

I love stumbling across neat new websites and products, and am often introduced to some great ones by our good friends Nathan and Trish. Recently Nathan told us about a site for Christmas tunes, and I had to share!

Check out Accuradio for continuous FREE Christmas music in a bevy of genre’s to suit anyone’s taste! [...]
