Design: The Look of White and Olive

In the span of just a few days, I’ve noticed several bloggers pairing olive and white in their outfits. As far as I’m concerned, white goes with everything, but I think we’ll be seeing more olive and white combinations in the coming months in the fashion world.

Carly Heitlinger, The College Prepster

Sally Miller, A Piece of Toast

This colour combo is not only for fashion. As per usual, we can see a clear connection between fashion and interior design when it comes to this colour mix.

Design: Peg Boards

A new ice cream shop opened up in Kitchener this summer (Four All Ice Cream), and I’m loving it. Each time I go, I try new flavours, and I have yet to be disappointed! Local ingredients are used and flavours change according to what’s been growing around the community. My favourite flavour has been the strawberry-rhubarb sorbet.

In addition to the delicious ice cream, though, I love the design of this small-sized ice cream shop. On one end of the little shop, you’ll find the ice cream. And on the other, you’ll find this peg board display wall.

And it was this peg board – designed and made by Boko – that has inspired this peg board design post. As you’ll see by the photos here, there’s a whole lot of things that can be mounted onto a peg board!

Hotel to Home: Borgo Santo Pietro, Italy

Today we’re traveling over to Tuscany to peek into a gorgeous bathroom at the Borgo Santo Pietro. The classic clawfoot tub, antique mirrors, and greenery makes this bathroom special.
