Home Decor Tips: Mirrors in Every Room

I love this tip because I enjoy how mirrors add such depth and light. A great rule of thumb is to place a mirror in every room. It's an easy way to extend and enhance a smaller space or ground and accent something bigger. The variety available is vast. From ornate to chalk paint, mirrors have been around for centuries for a reason,

We've has some fabulous mirrors in store over the last couple of years. My all time favorite is this stunning art deco/ mid century piece. I LOVE IT. Bling meets Art and kind of looks like the Sun.

And a few other ideas; mirrors we have welcomed through our doors.

Here's a great link with some other great tips!

Local Art - Blue Mountain Pottery

Blue Mountain Pottery was a local company, now closed, but the works are very well known throughout Canada. The celebrated design features a familiar glaze, using light and dark colours, most famously green but also in reds, browns and yellow hues. There is now a collectors club ( see link below) and we almost always have a few pieces in store. Here are some of our lovely works currently on display! Here's a great link! http://www.bmpcc.com/

Local Adventures: Carly Patterson Trail

Carly Patterson trail is an approximately 11 km loop that meanders throughout the west end of Wasaga Beach. Never straying too far into the wilderness, this trail is perfect for almost all walking/ hiking abilities. There are countless entry points along the trail and it's very well maintained after storm damage. The deep snow we are currently experiencing makes it harder with the double stroller, but with snow shoes, you could enjoy a delightful hike through the woods. Here's a video of our running convoy ( pup and stroller included) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz_DX0SUEjo And some further links about the trail! http://staging.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMKJ6C_Carly_Patterson_Memorial_Trail_Wildwood_Drive_Access_Point http://wasagabeachtourism.com/wasagabeach/media/Documents/Maps/WB-Trails-eMap.pdf

Art feature - Wood Cut Print

Wood print printing is a 'relief' printing technique whereby you continue to carve away at an image, in the meantime, printing different colours on top of each other (after each layer dries) using this wooden block. This print is one I worked on during art school, my only dalliance into wood block printing. It is my favorite print making disciple and I love this print. Currency one left in store! Here's a link to more of my artwork although i'm not painting much anymore www.libbymourant.com And more on screen printing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_printing
