Silky

I am so in love with this silver-backed iridescent rust and violet patterned silk shawl. It looks like it could belong to her. Vibes of layered oriental rugs, leather ottomans, precious treasures, and starry nights...

Details of Anthropologie

The thing that impresses me the most with Anthropologie is the level of creativity and detail that goes into their merchandising and displays, including their use of found items as fixtures. I have had the special opportunity to help set up the new Ottawa store, and snapped some photos within to highlight the thoughtfulness that went into every last stitch and nail. Their merchandising complements their delightfully detailed products.

The glowing name and curious quilt draw the viewer in.

The vintage door at the front is mounted on a barn door track.

One of the found pieces is this huge light green chest--lovely colour and distressed surface.

Can you guess what this gigantic quilt is made of?

Leather? Denim?
