Loft Room Divider
We're in the process of downsizing from a 4000 sq ft home to a 1200-sq ft loft. Do you know, loft living sounds more romantic than it actually is? We find that we really miss the traditional division of space. We miss having rooms. We miss the privacy!
We've been looking into options of dividing the space. Drapery is one, but do you have any idea how expensive a piece of fabric with four stitching is? It's quite a mystery actually, how much drapery can cost. The other option is to go with a company like the Sliding Door, but they are really pricey too.
We found this company, Loft Wall, today and we thought it might be a good option. They make portable dividers that you can customize the sizing and the panels. They are not cheap but they are not too expensive either. You can visit the web site to download the price list. Keep in mind that the published prices are retail, and no one pays retail!
Here are some samples:

Modern Planters
When we go to a really cool restaurant in Miami or Los Angeles we are always envious of the huge, modern planters that they have. It's really hard to find them. Most of the pottery places that we have in our local area sell the traditional planters. If you have a modern home you are kinda out luck.
Anyway, we just found a great source today for huge, commercial modern planters that we thought we'd share with you. They are so cool! We have no idea how much they cost, sorry. But if you are interested drop us a line and we'll get pricing info for you.

Take a Bow Tuesday...
It's back!
Well, as long as I can keep my act together, that is!
Either way, I have some friends I want to share with you and some great ideas I have tucked in my future feature file. So...here they are:
Check out The Cottage at Wit's End for a great kitchen make-over. Read along about the journey, and check out these before and afters:
Next up is my fellow Canadian, Grace of Sense and Simplicity. She is a relatively new blogger who has learned the ropes quickly and well. Check out her budget wise decorating, delicious recipes and welcoming writing. Just look at this cozy nook in her home!
Oh, and tell her I sent you!
Another Canadian blogger, Holly from Life in the Fun Lane has the most gorgeous bedroom I've seen in a long time! Don't take my word for it...head on over!!!
Speaking of bedrooms, to see the most breath-taking little girl's bedroom visit Maria at Dreamy Whites. White and powder pink...heavenly!
And finally: because Easter is right around the corner (and I still haven't decorated!), check out this great round-up of Easter projects from Rachel at One Pretty Thing!
Now, on that note....I'm off to decorate. Sophie will put me in a headlock if I don't!!!
Promise Rings - Cz Rings
A beautiful and elegantly styled promise ring. Her shoulders are delicate in tone and escorted by light princess cut CZ. Her crown is a petite round cut center stone carefully handset. White Gold Rhodium Bond is achieved using an electroplating process that coats the item with heavy layers of rhodium, a close cousin of platinum that costs three times as much, which gives our jewelry a platinum luster. Sale Price: $71.00

Black and White Artwork
We usually have a really hard time finding artwork. Mainly because we know nothing about art and when you know nothing about something you tend to be really insecure. We suppose art is like wine, you can pretend to be a connoiseur or you can just decide you like what you like and that's that.
It's easier that way, no?
So here are some artworks that we just picked up for our own personal loft lately. It's a modern loft with very dark floors and white paint, so we thought we keep it simple by sticking to black and white theme. We really like them in person. They are made professionally for commercial projects so they look really nice and expensive, even though they are quite reasonable.
For more information on pricing and sizes, you can check out our artwork section. They are on the first few pages of the category.

Barbara Barry Home Accessories for Global Views
We haven't seen much from Barbara Barry for a while. She was huge a few years back, with furniture for Baker, fabrics for Kravet and so on. Her stuff was always so expensive though, so it was a nice surprise to see her home accessories collection for Global Views. They are actually reasonable!
The accessories has her signatured subdued colors & clean-lined styles. Here are some examples:
These items run between $100-$250 each. They will be posted in our home decor section shortly.

Which Would You Choose???
Here are my current wood counter stools with the Ballard Design toffee checked chair cushions. If you look closely you will see that the chairs are actually different. The two on the ends I bought at a discount many years ago because they were being discontinued by the manufacturer. When I needed an additional stool I bought a similar one from Ballard Designs.
What I like - the tall backs, the warm wood tones and cushions - over all the chairs are very comfortable for sitting. We don't like that we can only fit three stools. I have two children and when they each have a friend over, only three can sit. Also we don't' like how the stools protrude into the walking area.
Here are the Tabouret stools. Aren't they great?! Did I mention they were only $50 each - I am still giddy about this...you can find them here.
What I like: Aesthetically I like their lines and the way their color ties in with the stainless steel in the kitchen. I love how four stools (and children) fit. I also like how they push in and make a clear pathway for walking by. I don't like how cold they are to sit on in the morning and how uncomfortable they are with out a back. I also worry they are just too industrial looking (a family lives here after all!)
