... of the Month

A new feature on my blog, ... of the month will showcase great places, stores, restaurants, etc. every month. This month, it's Toronto store L'Atelier, which is always full of unusual furniture and objets d'art at fair prices.

I'm not even in the store and already I want everything! The bedside tables, the lacquer boxes, the lamp; my mouth is starting to water.

As soon as I walk in, I see this great Muranoesque chandelier in purple blown glass. Statement lighting? I think so.

I love these mercury glass chalices, but I wish there was a size in between the large and the small.

This phrenetic bust reminds me of the movie My Fair Lady, which starred Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison. Professor Henry Higgins had a few of these in his two-story library in the musical remake of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion.

I loved these framed starfish hung above a simple water feature. They remind me of one I have in my bedroom in our house in Southampton

As you've probably surmised from my blogging record, I'm a big fan of vignettes, and L'Atelier has some of the best.

A burlap light fixture is very Parisian...
... and I loved this whimsical butterfly watercolor.

I thought these bells would be fun to hang on the side of our house in Southampton. You could ring them at dinner time to call everyone to the table.
