Except for the few relaxing days at the beginning of the month, January was fairly busy in my hood. Here are only a few of the pieces that were refinished and delivered to their new homes. Colours I have used so far this year are light and bright and hopefully a good indication of how this year is going to develop.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14497998115660522338noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1732326963980701483.post-49323256681109280012016-01-26T10:44:00.001-05:002016-01-26T13:08:30.287-05:00My Dream Kitchen has Colourful AppliancesAs I was looking for colour inspirations for my next project I came across a company called <a href="https://bigchill.com/" target="_blank">Big Chill</a>, a Colorado based kitchen appliance supplier. I got a bit sidetracked with their great selection of kitchen appliances and decided to put together a style board describing my dream kitchen. It just happens so that a bright coloured <a href="https://bigchill.com/product-category/cook/" target="_blank">stove</a> is an object of my desire, so this task came easy to me.<br />
Kitchen is considered the heart of the home, a place where families gather at the end of the day to prepare meals, and where good parties take place. Nice kitchens, and appliances especially, are also known to significantly increase the value of your property.<br />
<br />
When it comes to appliances Big Chill offers a great range of colours to choose from, up to 200 custom colours to be exact. I selected this French Blue gas stove from their Pro line to build my dream kitchen around.<br />

Since I want the stove to be the attention grabber and conversation starter in the space, all other appliances would be in the stainless steal finish. Luckily when you shop at Big Chill, mixing and matching products within the same line is not a problem.</div>

When working with bold colours and accessories it is important for the backdrop to stay neutral. In order to support that my cabinets would would have simple lines and be painted in tope, which would provide a warm surroundings for the stainless steal and blue finish in the appliances. Open shelving would contribute to the feel of airiness in the space and provide the opportunity to display some of my more attractive dishes and a vintage farmhouse apron sink would make a great contrast to the modern lines found in the stove and fridge.</div>

Layering is a concept that many are familiar with and associate with the world of fashion but it is equally important when it comes to decorating, as it offers softness and adds a layer of complexity to the space. Adding fabrics in form of tea towels, curtains, runners and napkins will take care of that. For my kitchen I would look for linens that are inclusive of the main palette but also introduce complementary colour choices that would help with the selection of other accessories.</div>

A long weathered wood farmhouse table would be a great place to gather around with friends and family and celebrate life's little victories. What draws me to this type of table is the rawness of the finish and the fact that every new stain or mark would build on the memories that happen around it.</div>

There is nothing like the beginning of the new year to make some changes, in life as well as in business. Starting January 2016 Poppyseed Creative Living products and services will be priced in Canadian Dollars. I have made this decision in order to stay competitive and to make purchases more affordable not only for my domestic, but also by cross border shoppers. All price adjustments have already been made and I am confident you will see a great difference. Local deliveries still remain free and small fees have been put in place for deliveries to Montreal, Ottawa and Windsor. Shipping rates remain at the discretion of my shipping partners.<br />

This coming Saturday, on December 19th, I will be taking part at my first pop-up shop event. I have partnered with a few local Toronto makers to offer some last mixture shopping ideas to our customers. The event will take place at 592 Markham street between 10am and 6PM. We will have a nice selection of home decor items, art, jewelry, body care products, paper goods and small furniture.</div>

When times are tough or budget is tight, it is often home decor purchases that get put on the back burner. Funds get allocated to things that matter most, and let’s face it, that is the proper way to go about life. But no matter how difficult the financial situation may be, we all know that weathering it is always easier if we are surrounded with pretty things, and they don’t have to cost a bundle! When it comes to art, it is in the eyes of the beholder. Art doesn’t only live in galleries and museums, you can easily find it on the street, at local markets, on magazine pages, even in kitchen supply stores.</div>

Today I am sharing the story of a piece of “art” that has a central spot in my home; its original purpose was not to serve as décor. It is very much the reflection of my taste and a budget friendly alternative to the original I fell in love with.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #403f3f; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A few years ago decorating with vintage bus scrolls was all the rage. I loved the rawness of them, and the fact that each one of them had a story and played a major role in communities. Many people depended on those signs on their daily commutes. I did in fact come across an authentic one in Melbourne, Australia, but the price tag of $1,000 was way out of my art purchasing budget. Not to mention that they are often very long and require an adequately high wall to display them on; none of which I have in my house.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f3f; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">It was in a novelty home decor store where I spotted the beautiful original scroll, and in the spirit of current decorating trends, they also had a selection of tea towels mimicking the scroll aesthetic.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f3f; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I saw an opportunity here and purchased one of them for $18.00. The design had the shop’s name as the final destination, and the “stops” were the streets leading to the store. This was a perfect answer to my decorating desire and a beautiful way to remember my vacation! At home, I purchased a vintage frame for $5.00 at a thrift store, had a piece of glass cut to measure for an additional $10.00, and had created an original piece with my very own stamp on it for a mere $33.00!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f3f; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">If “tea towel art” isn’t an option for you, the alternatives are endless. There is no shortage of beautiful and inexpensive wrapping papers, fabrics, greeting cards, or vintage book pages you can use to decorate your home and make it uniquely yours, and here is the shot of my kitchen wall to prove it. On that wall you can find a selection of homemade items (the pom-poms and “happy” message sign), childrens’ art, vintage book illustration (the monkey), art market finds (the bear and dandy gentleman), concert ticket stub from 2004 (“lambchop”) and artsy greeting cards (the orange bird and clothes mannequin).</span></div>

All the fun about this dresser is right in front of your eyes. A solid wood built piece, with oodles of storage and character to match. I chose a neutral colour to allow the mismatched pulls to shine and give this dresser a one-of-a-kind look. The height of this piece is perfect to make it a suitable alternative as a change table.

I love experimenting with crafts and trying out new things. This is how these tote bags came to exist. have used paintings on furniture in the past and wanted to see what it would look like if they are turned into bags. All the canvases are fairly sturdy on their own, but I felt that in order to be able to resist daily wear they need to be specially treated and reinforced. All bags are are lined with extra sturdy canvas, they all have a larger inside pocket and are flat (with no side gussets). Subtly frying is a part of their character. Straps are made of repurposed belts and some of them are vegan friendly.<br />
Four bags are listed in my <a href="http://www.poppyseedcreativeliving.com/#!bags/c36m" target="_blank">online store</a>, so head on over to claim your own.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14497998115660522338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1732326963980701483.post-40893412464700324462015-10-26T07:43:00.005-04:002015-10-26T07:43:59.781-04:00Sage Blue Desk<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I haven't had a desk in stock for a while, so when this one came along I had to scoop it up. I opted to paint it in a pale blue-is -grey colour to appeal to those who love colour as well as to the customers that prefer neutrals. Drawers are all lined with retro wallpaper and the only pop of brightness are the two yellow and teal pulls in the centre.<br />

For this sideboard I chose Marigold yellow in milk paint formula. I love this colour and though it would bring this piece to life. I have worked with with milk paint in the past and and rarely had any issues with it. This was the first time that just after I thought the job was done the paint flaked off the top, both drawers and the side doors. Milk paint can not be removed with paint strippers so easily so I literally had to use force, scrape and sand until all loose paint particles were removed. All this effort was well worth it, so much so that the piece already stole the heart of one of my existing customers and will be in her new home by week's end.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14497998115660522338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1732326963980701483.post-9259553253645425412015-10-15T08:29:00.002-04:002015-10-15T08:30:52.834-04:00A Different Kind of Photo Shoot<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The weather was beautiful this past weekend here in Toronto so to capitalize on the opportunity I took this little nugget to the beach to try out something new, a photoshoot out in the open. Even though working outside, surrounded by lots of people and in a new environment had its own challenges, I found it fun and rewarding. There was no need for extra staging as the nature offered everything and more to allow this piece to shine. If you have a minute, drop me a line and let me know how you feel about it, do you prefer it to the traditional indoors shoots or should I attempt to get more of my pieces out in the nature?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14497998115660522338noreply@blogger.com0
