II BY IV

Posted on Tue, 9 Oct 2007 by KiM

II BY IV Design Associates is a Toronto-based interior design firm that was created in 1990 by two amazing designers, Dan Menchions and Keith Rushbrook. They’ve designed a variety of spaces, from a café in the CN Tower, “The Beer Store”, to an office for IBM. Thankfully they also excel at residential interiors, and can easily design a room in all black, or all cream, or even a bold orange. In the end, their spaces are modern but exude warmth and a sense of grandeur.

Colour – because white is too easy

Posted on Tue, 9 Oct 2007 by KiM

I have nothing against white. But white is boring. Life is too short to be boring. I think every room needs a splash of colour somewhere…it doesn’t have to be bright, but something to give warmth and energy to a room. On this note, here are some examples of rooms with lots of bold colour, not exactly on the pale side.

The Parker Palm Springs

Posted on Tue, 2 Oct 2007 by KiM

This might be the coolest hotel I’ve ever seen, and one day, I hope I get a chance to stay here. The Parker Palm Springs, designed by the king of all things modern-eclectic-retro, Jonathan Adler.

For Pink

Posted on Mon, 1 Oct 2007 by KiM

Hey everyone. Many bloggers have been wondering what has happened to Pink, of Pink Mohair and Casapinka blogs. Please pay both of her blogs a visit as I have just published posts on her behalf explaining her absence. Of course, in her honour I had to post some pink photos.
