I LOVE this! Particularly the orchids and the birdcage atop it!

My condo now is all about bright and bold colours - when I first moved in it was a very cool white which the builder had slapped on. Now the living/dining/den/kitchen are a cheery apple green, my bedroom a deep red-purple and my bathroom a calm sky blue. The accessories, one would argue, are just as bold since I've got a purple rug similar in tone to my bedroom walls in my living area. This is probably the boldest I'll ever go...I suspect the next time around I'll probably have to compromise assuming the space will be shared with someone else.

This post made me gasp. I'm a purple freak. Thanks! I must now go in search of some amethyst Pyrex dishes!

My dream sofa is the (Canadian-made) Montauk Scroll Sofa and I priced it at about $6000, which was WAY more than I could spend on any one piece of furniture. So I shopped around....A LOT! After what seems like months of searching and shopping for price, I finally found one that I liked for $1450 and pulled the trigger on my purchase a few weeks ago. It's another Canadian-made sofa, actually, it's locally made in Toronto and I can't say that I ever thought much about buying Canadian...but if given the option, and the right price point, I totally would. To think that some Ikea sofas are selling for that price! I'm sure the quality is better now then it once was, but I just can't bring myself to spend $1000 on a sofa from Ikea!
