Ariana Fischer Interior Design focuses on the unique nature of each client. Ariana’s spaces are described as thoughtfully eclectic – embracing both the modern and the antique, the regional and the cosmopolitan. Her approach combines versatility and a keen understanding of the function and psychology of space. I am a fan of anyone who decorates a toilet with a live beta fish. Cool touch. 🙂















What a fun way to play with colour! Via Guto Requena

I have used the term eclectic many times on this blog, but I think these spaces designed by Brazilian architect Guto Requena are the epitome of eclecticism. Love these. Quirky and cool.













Before I get into the juicy bits of this post, I thought I’d let you in on a little tidbit of info. Monday when Jo heads home from Sydney, I’ll be flying in to my favourite vacation destination – Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Winters here in Ottawa SUCK, they are long and cold and this year, very snowy. I am sick of this weather and desperately need to get away from it and my chaotic life. I will be spending 9 days enjoying the sun, sand, sangria but not to worry, I have been working my a** off double time this past week getting posts ready to publish during my absense so you won’t even miss me. I can’t freaking wait!

Tina from Greece wrote us about a really cool renovation project in Nafplion that she blogged about. It’s called Fougaro (“smokestack”) – a former pre-WWII tomato cannery that closed in 1956, was bought at an auction in 1997 after 15 years or restoration and renovation, is now a fantastic venue dedicated to art and creativity complete with an Arts & Humanities library, a workshop, a café, a concert hall and, most importantly, an exhibition hall. WOW – what an incredible, inspirational place. (Photos via Yatzer and Fougaro’s FB).
