Judy's Dad's Profile

thanks for the props. cupboard love indeed. the dealer who sold it to me said it had been custom made in the late 1950s. it's really well designed and the cupboards are deep and hold a lot of stuff. there's another vertical support and lots of extra open shelves but my space is only big enough to use the two rows.

You sofa is fantastic! But I guess you already know that.

Love the table lamps; the 50s/60s vibe is a bit literal for me but I admire that you have the courage of your convictions.

Up with maximalism!

I'd also LOVE to see more of your place Tim and I'd love to feature it on styleNorth.ca. Please drop me a line if you're interested. I'll understand if your entry beats mine here, you've done such a good job. Good luck!

I love what you've done with the sofa; I often see this style on Craigslist but the bolsters you've added and the single bench cushion combined with the pair of back cushions is a really great way to freshen up the piece. Good job.

Yellow Shark and Lady J, both the table and the rug were Craigslist scores. The genuine Moroccan Berber rug (11' x 8') was just $150 and the table, which originally came with a brass tray top (likely Indian), was just $100.

bepsf, I agree that the room would benefit from all the walls being brown but it's a rental and I likely won't be staying beyond my first one-year lease (hate the building!) so I've tried to minimize the pre-move cover-up work while still making the place lovely and liveable. A compromise, like so much of life.
