On Sunday I attended the One of a Kind Show at Direct Energy Centre in Toronto and I thought that it would be a good idea to give you a little summary how it went...
First of all - it was a very refreshing experience. So many creative people under one roof !
I searched for one of a kind pieces which I could easily adapt to my future projects and I must admit that my expectations didn't turn sour.
Here you may see what I have found :
Some fabulous natural organic, handmade nursery furniture, decor and baby toys made by La Vie Orange:
Cute cuddly toys made with love and passion by Selena Burgess from Le Petit Reve
When it comes to wall art - if you are only preparing to sell your home, then maybe it is more just the matter of color and size - hanging a reproduction on the wall is OK. But if this is a redesign project I would rather recommend my customers to use real art work. It is worth to remember that those things not only decorate our space, but also act like witnesses of our happiness and sadness and sooner or later they may become part of our life. They gather our emotions and usually we keep them for many years, so it is best decision to invest some money in original things. Besides that, authentic pieces are always valuable. At the show I found this marvelous "Peacock " by Robert Wu – this is one of those beautiful things at which I could look with pleasure every day:
Here is my favorite wire and...air (yes!!) sculpture from exposition of Rudy Kehkla – I would honestly have it in my house:
And gorgeous lady (which remind me of Art Deco and Tamara Lempicka) perfect for teen girl’s bedroom. Art by Carrie Wroot:
Quilts from Valerie Page – perfect color accent for monochromatic room:
The extraordinary tableware from Alix Ceramics. Very elegant, with rustic floral ornaments. Brings to mind reminder of previous centuries... Pure white and reserved design makes those little precious suitable equally for modern and traditional interior:
What a great idea to make fun from safety or simply: from every day life - make it more colorful and creative.
One of a Kind Show and One of a kind People...
