Here’s a feature on our fabulous in-house designer Peter Wilds, that recently ran in the Vancouver Province Newspaper…

Favourite home-design trends for this season:

It’s all about the mix: old/new; industrial/ refined; elegant/edgy.

Favourite home-style destinations on TV or the Internet:

I’m into sites and blogs: The Selby, Fashionologie, Style.com,lonnymag.com— and The Rachel Zoe Project is a guilty pleasure.

Timeless pieces for the home:

Art and design books.

Where to splurge in home decor:

Splurge on lighting: pot lights, table and floor lamps, dimmers everywhere (and I mean everywhere). Shoes make or break an out fit. I feel the same way about lighting. They make or break a room.

Where to save:

As far as saving goes, I say live with what you have or go without until you can get what you desire and your budget allows. Putting together a beautiful and personal space takes time. I say “buy well, buy once.”

Guilty pleasures:

Books and magazines: And contrary to so many shutting down, the magazine is not dead!

Reading right now:

I’m reading Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers and enjoying his exploration of the elements that lead to success.

Favourite Vancouver hangouts during winter:

Having a glass of wine with friends while sitting in front of the fireplace at The Wedgewood.

 Thanks for the great tips Peter! Great shot BTW!!

And just in case you missed it… here’s the article on Peter’s West End Condo that ran in the October 2007  issue of the U.K.‘s magazine Living Etc.

 

BRAVO Peter! Can’t wait to see more of your work…
