This is the cabinet I recently found from HomeSense for my entry. Isn’t it fabulous? Because there are two drawers they neglected to insert a knob in the middle. I might change them all out and insert new ones because it looks like they are missing at the moment.

It immediately reminded me of this Dorothy Drapery Dresser. I first saw it in Kelly Wearstler’s office (when she worked from home) which is why I bought it.
My Beach bag is always sitting here these days since our complex has a pool right beside the Capilano River (below). There are 60 townhouses and barely anyone uses the pool. There’s another one for the kids as well. On rainy days we go back and forth from the sauna (I’m a Finn) and the pool, it’s great!
The framed print I bought years ago (not from HomeSense) I love the happy kids in the rain. I just had it reframed and re-matted. It was an 80’s pickled pink frame with a pale blue mat. Can you believe I forgot to take a before picture? A big blogging no no! The lamp is from HomeSense. I’m going to change the lampshade to one like this from Ralph Lauren.
See the niche at the top? I decided on a boxwood ball instead of sticks in a vase which I think is kinda 80’s (maybe). Pussy willows would be okay but I can’t get them this time of year.
I will probably paint the urn, it was from Homesense too (well I am in Vancouver, it’s a limited accessory shopping situation here).
This is the winding sidewalk going to the pool. The rest of the photos of where I live are on my Facebook Fan page.
Have a great weekend everyone!
