WOODEN YOU LOVE THIS?
Wood is becoming a very
popular interior design trend
especially when used to create
a cottage chic look.
MY BEAR IS COOLER
THAN YOUR BEAR!
For those with a sense
of humour, whimsical
accents are great
conversation pieces! I call
this one “wilderness meets
technology.”

A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME that these prints are
hot! What says “outdoor cottage” more than birds?
You can even add a twist to this traditional accent
and use these fabulous bird cage prints as wall art.

bookcase that leaves little room to hang an
art piece, consider hanging your precious art
collection on the bookcase itself. A framed
piece worked best for architect and designer
