Your living room is about to get a whole lot cooler. One of The Anthology’s favourite photographers, Braden Paul is selling prints of his photographs for a very limited time (only until January 20th) and these are just a few of my favourites. You’ll find plenty more on his website, like this one and this one, which would also make [...]
I have long been a fan of Kermodi Living Art (don’t you think this would make the perfect office plant?). So I fell hard for Kermodi’s understated, almost terrarium-esque ornaments at Vancouver Special. One of them is now nestled among the mason jars (used as tea light candle holders) and cake plates (used as candle stands) on the [...]
This is a big year for me. Why? Because I’m finally going to ditch the over-the-top cheesy, tinsel-y, multi-coloured decorations that have been the hallmark of my holiday decor in years past (party tip: bring your tacky inflatable lawn ornaments indoors if you want to kick your house party up a notch. Take my word [...]
In The Anthology’s Bookmark column we explore some of the most inspiring places on the wild, wild web. This week’s spot goes to the LA-based blog You are the River, a beautifully curated site filled with all things creative, inspiring and design-y.

If you look closely, you’ll notice the one on the right features an illustration of Vancouver’s Lions Gate Bridge (long before [...]
It’s makeover season, so I’ve been putting on my Tim “the Toolman” Taylor belt quite a bit lately. My latest project? My dining room. It all started with the chairs. Because they used to look like this. And the table was the exact same yellowy pine. (Both were hand-me-downs from my in-laws.) All they needed [...]
You’ve picked out the perfect dress, found some sparkly new shoes and even got your hair did. But what on earth do you bring for your glamourous hostess? I have no idea — but Courtney Starheim, event planner and principal of C Star Events does. She shares with us part two of her gift guide. Read [...]
And as much as I love that city, I don’t know it very well. So I’ve enlisted the help of everybody’s favourite L.A.-based blogger Bri Emery of DesignLoveFest, who has compiled a list of her favourite three unique boutiques. And here’s what she has to say: 1.

than a handcrafted one-of-a-kind piece made of solid, responsibly harvested wood? Can’t think of anything right now. This little number? It’s the workmanship of Jeff Martin Joinery which I first discovered on Room 907. And one day my kitchen island will look just like it. Mark. My. Words.
