Modern Karibou {Canadian Eh!}

For my fellow Canadians, I'm sure you are all too aware that finding those oh so coveted furniture pieces from a Canadian shopping resource is difficult at best. Enter Modern Karibou onto the retail scene, and we have attainable interior pieces for us all - sold here in Canada!

The founders of the store, Lise and Carole, were tired of looking south of the border when it came to online shopping for their homes and thought they could help fill this gap in Canada. You can read all about them here.

Modern Kariblou features established and new designers, some of which are eco-friendly, including Amenity, LoooLo, Iannone Design, FLUF Design, and Palau, just to name a handful.

Here are a handful of my personal favorites that I'm currently drooling over. Yay to Canadian Interior Retailers Modern Karibou!

Armoires? A thing of the past? Think again.

Now that tube TVs are pretty much non-existent with flat screens coming down in price over the past year, what is everyone doing with their armoires?

Domino magazine has a great photo gallery listing absolutely gorgeous armoires for almost any storage issue. You can use one as a portable linen closest, a home office, or as a makeshift china cabinet.

I have one. I'm currently using it as a storage closet due to lack of built in closet space in our tiny loft. An armoire is a good thing, not an eyesore.

See the full Gallery here, and here are a couple snippets of my own personal favorites.
