Furniture: Decor-Rest

Let’s shine a spotlight on a successful Canadian furniture manufacturer this morning, shall we? Since 1972 Decor-Rest has provided customers with quality products and a commitment to honest service. Decor-Rest is headed by owners Angelo and Christina Marzilli and the company currently occupies a 200,000 square foot plant located in Woodbridge, Ontario as well as a 8,000 square foot industry showroom in High Point, North Carolina. And you can bet that Decor-Rest is filling up their furniture retailers with thoughtfully-designed furniture. In addition to manufacturing the collections of Steven & Chris and Cobi Ladner (cobistyle), Decor-Rest’s inventory includes fabric and leather upholstered sofas and chairs as well as accent items to suit contemporary and traditional styles.

The Friday Five: Would You Buy This?

Would you buy any of these it’s-puzzling-to-me items…and actually use them?

This is Muji’s lunch box band. I have no idea what a lunch box band is. Help?

I really have no desire to spend an extra few minutes massaging my jaw line with this Muji (yes, again) creation. Do you?

What would make you want to spend money on a set of plaster teeth?

I’m not quite sure how this vest/tank-top really tones? If it does in fact tone then there really is no excuse for not having a six-pack, right?

This multi-purpose hat…would you really walk around with one of these on your head?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Design: Michelberger Berlin

I must have travel on the brain (again) because I keep being drawn to very cool hotels. Today we travel to Berlin and check into the stylish Michelberger Hotel.

I’ve travelled a fair bit around Europe (most often Switzerland and Paris: read this, this, this, this, this, this, and this) but I have yet to visit Berlin. What do you think? Should I add it to my travel wish list?

Travel: Expedia Ad Campaign

I just love this ad campaign created by Ogilvy & Mather for Expedia. Clever, clever, clever!

But then again, it’s not like I really need an ad campaign to convince me to travel. My passport is always ready! (And fyi – I most often than not use Expedia for flight, car and hotel bookings because it’s cheap, convenient, and provides good customer service.)
