find - colour in the gloom

February in a city like Toronto is pretty depressing and drab, this is why whenever I see colour during the gloomy months, it makes me happy.  This weekend was special as I was able to capture some really fun displays of colour despite the somber mood of February.

Pink chameleon in the window display of Aritzia at the Queen Street location.

Honest Eds at the intersection of Bloor and Bathurst (the Annex). The sun had just set and the light was still lingering behind the clouds.  

I purchased new colouring pencils, laid them out and behold a rainbow!

Let the doodles begin! I haven't drawn in ages and I really miss it.




find - one big dining light

I honestly can't say that I prefer minimalism over maximalism, or vice versa.  If a space is well designed and looks right, whether it's simple or ornate, it's just good design.  One thing I can say though, is that the pieces one chooses for any space design are important. 

I like the idea of a strong focal point and what better way to do this than with something fun and grand, like using one large light pendant above a small dining table.  Please see images below :)
