New Furniture at Relish!

Yesterday morning I got up really early to go pick up some new furniture for Relish from a husband and wife team in Woodstock who build furniture for their business, Second Bloom Design, at their home. Incredible stuff. Seriously! Be sure to come by the shop (at 6 Cannon St E) to check out how lovely this stuff is!!

Look how great that custom teal colour looks in the window - very cheerful for spring.

Another look at the teal side table, made from salvaged wood and welded metal legs.

This beautiful console table is made entirely from salvaged wood - even the legs are old banister spindles!

This is another salvaged wood side table, in the origianl steel finish. It looks very industrial and masculine. So lovely!

A close up of the beautiful steel...

Everything from Second Bloom Design is SO beautiful, and every bit of wood used is salvaged and reclaimed. Once again, I'm very impressed by anyone who is this good at working with their hands. Can't wait to go back to place some more orders!



And did I mention I finally got my sidewalk sign finished today? Very exciting, and just in time for the sunshine!

Vintage Chic....Part 2

I've got so much second-hand vintage stuff around the house that I thought I'd continue my post from last week about Vintage Chic. I want to give you all some more ideas about how amazingly well these items work in a home. They all have signs of having been loved in a previous life, which makes them wonderfully worn-in and cozy, and able to fit seamlessly into any style of home.

I found this little lamp at a second-hand warehouse - all it needed was a new bright-pink shade, and voila!

I found this table while shopping online on kijiji - all the knots in the wood, and the visible grain, and the worn-in surface give the whole room a lovely warm, textured, comfortable feeling.

This is one of a pair of side tables - they weigh a ton (solid wood) and were made right here in Ontario!

I found this cute little side table at a yard sale while walking down the street one day - pefect! And it's yellow. I mean, come on, how could I pass that up?

I found this dresser at a thrift store. It has really unusual original drawer pulls, and the stamp in the top drawer says it was made in Hanover, Ontario. Isn't it cool to actually know where something was made?
