A couple weeks ago Jo posted her fabulous peahen chair she found at her favourite thrift shop. She mentionned that she was on the hunt for a peacock chair. And since seeing the peacock chair in Wary Meyers pad (who are my idols btw), I’ve been dreaming of having one of my own. So here are my 4 steps to finding a peacock chair.

1 – check craigslist on a daily basis and pray that one day a peacock chair will magically appear.
2 – almost drop dead from shock when an ad for “wicker chair – $20” appears on craigslist and IT TURNS OUT IT’S A PEACOCK CHAIR.
3 – scramble to organize borrowing your parents SUV and contact the seller to arrange a pickup (and seller tells you someone has already been in contact about it and would pick it up Sunday but if you can get there before that, it’s yours). Tell him no problem, and you’ll give him $30 for it too!
4 – Pick up chair (get extra bonus of meeting seller’s albino Great Dane) and thank your father 6 times for driving you across town in traffic to get it.

Verity Welstead is a British photographer with tons of talent who specializes in still life and interiors. The following photos I found here of hers are so gorgeous I had to post them despite the annoying digital watermarks across them. The lighting and composition was just too incredible to pass up.

I’ve subscribed to a few Canadian shelter magazines for several years and my favourite has always been Canadian House & Home. If you can get your hands on one, do check it out. Their website is fantastic as well and has a great gallery of photos from past issues where I found these…

William Meppem can take a simple space and photograph it in such a way that it speaks volumes. Simple but beautiful.

Vanessa Levis has an incredible eye for composition, creating fresh and energetic photographs that draws you in and keeps you there.
