Vancouver Design Destination featured in Loftlife Magazine

Olympic Oval, Richmond, B.C., Photography by Linden Hass

A while back we were approached by Kyra Shapurji of the magazine, Loftlife out of New York, to contribute to a little piece she was doing on a design destination, Vancouver. We see it's up on the website now (and is also in print if you happen to see the latest issue)! It's a nice little piece on this beautiful city and a great reference if you happen to be visiting soon. Click here to read and bookmark! Thanks to Kyra for including us!

Vancouver Shopping Guide: Room 6

IMG_0176

Last November I started planning to do a Vancouver shopping guide, which to my dismay is still on the "to do" list. But one shop got covered thanks to it's owner, Megan of Room 6 in Deep Cove (a suburb of Vancouver, well actually North Vancouver). I asked Megan if she would take a few pictures of her shop, as I never get down that way, (it's probably an hour's drive or more from us), and she obliged so kindly. (I honestly don't know where the time is flying, as this post should have been up eons ago). I was actually waiting till I had more to add to it. But now I've decided to post this one at least and then we will tackle all the others, one store at a time, for however long it takes. So I'm more than honoured to showcase Room 6 as the first for this series. Room 6 you'll also be happy to hear, has an online shop, so many of the goodies shown here (plus many many more) - I've been eyeing these Soia & Kyo trench coats for one! It's so great to see all these amazing products (we covet) available in our town from Orla Kiely to sweet Kokeshi Dolls and handmade items like ceramics from Paige Russell! Thanks Megan!



Note how Megan used Ikea's shelving units and side tables to decorate her store. Those yellow side tables look so great like that.
