A Visit to Piper and Oak

 A while back I was in Paris, not across the pond, but Ontario.  It is a lovely and pretty town on the banks of the Grand River. There are fantastic restaurants and shops.  There are many outdoor activities to enjoy in Paris. We had a great lunch a Stillwaters at the short break between restaurants  being open and closed.

Of course no decorator can visit a new town without checking out the stores featuring items for the home. I checked Piper and Oak and found it to have an assortment of high end giftware items especially home fragrance products - great soaps, creams, candles, bath products.  It is worth the drive to Paris and a visit to this well appointed shop. 

Below are a few photos I took -

Great Home Decor & Furniture at 'Love Your Home'



I found the most wonderful Home furnishings and decor shop in Guelph on Brock Rd.  Love Your Home. I can never resist popping in to these type of places as I am so very addicted to lovely items for the home.  I ventured up to this store just after I had spent an afternoon at the Aberfoyle Antique Market.  Of course I found a couple of items I had wanted and thus made a purchase.  This is a beautiful boutique type store with more than one level of goodies.  It was hard to leave.  I know anyone who is into home decor will want to visit this store.  Not only can you find wonderful furniture and decor items for your home;  there are many items for gift giving.  For sure I will be heading back to this great store. Here are a few photos I took.

Back to Shopping

 Hello summer!!  Once again it's been a little while since I posted here. We moved into our new home and it has taken quite a long time to unpack, organize and purge some more.  I feel fairly settled now with only a few things to deal with - Christmas decor which fills around 15 rough totes.  Clearly I have way to much.  I will be donating it by end of summer.  

Now that we can go inside retailers it provides great inspiration. One store I recently visited was Graham and Brooks in Dundas.  They sell the most interesting and unique furniture and  accessories.  They are a rustic  style that encompasses re-purposed and vintage pieces that is suitable for your home, garden and cottage.  They source locally with inspiration from around the globe.

The people working on inventory were kind enough to let me take photos which is better than me listing everything in the store.

Please enjoy the photos below ( I am not the best photographer but you will like the products they carry) Take time to visit Dundas and definitely visit Graham and Brooks.  Keep them in mind for later in the season as well.  They have some of the most unique Christmas decorations.

MORE BROWSING FOR HOME DECOR

As a continuation of my trips to retail stores that specialize in furniture and home decor I dropped into Structube for a little look and found many great items.  It will not disappoint. Below are a few looks you might like.  Gray is still popular but there is a lot of cognac hues throughout.



                                              Benches are very popular for a casual look

STILL CHECKING OUT HOME FURNISHINGS AND DECOR STORES

Well I have to share some of the fantastic items at Kitchen Stuff Plus (KSP) which a lot of people know about.  They have a wide array of kitchen/dining products from everyday to party.  They also have bath products and so many little gadgets you will go crazy wandering through this great store.  I am attaching some photos below of the kitchen/dining products in this post. I will share the other products in a future post. They carry high end end pieces like Staub Cookware, Henckels &  Zwilling Knives at great price points. You can even purchase dining tables and chairs, a lovely bar with storage and all the linens you would need. I could go on about the many fabulous products but you really should take some time to visit this store at one of their many locations.

CHECKING OUT THE STORES AT RIOCAN PLAZA ON BURLOAK

 Well now that I am a little settled in our temporary home I have some stores to visit to see the fall goodies.  I will need to show some self control considering the huge amount of  'stuff' we had loaded into the moving truck.  It never hurts to just look.  I am also returning to the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital as a volunteer in the Gift Shop this week.  It will take a lot of self control not to spend there as they have the absolutely most amazing merchandise. 

Well back to a little 'browsing', this time at Urban Barn.  Love this store.  They always have the most up to date products and great value for your money. I have a few photos of some of their merchandise and I know you will love it.  As we enter fall and soon winter we think cozy and they definitely have cozy.  One of the dominant colours was cognac which does give a feeling of cooler weather coming and the need to be cozy.  Its a nice warm colour. We also see a lot of grey which has been around for years but we love it as a warm neutral. Urban Barn  has such a vast array of unique decor items you want them all.

Great Home Decor at Urban Barn

I recently visited the newest Urban Barn which opened a couple of weeks ago in North Oakville, in the Oak Park area and it is just lovely.  Along with all the goodies they have also brought a little of Christmas as well.  I lovvvvve Christmas decorations so I did manage to spend a fair bit of time perusing the offerings.  Their regular lines are great as well.  I absolutely loved this....
Below are a few of the Christmas Themes followed by their all season merchandise
