A Beautiful Sunny Day!

Hello all and happy hump day! For all of you who live in Vancouver can agree with the fact that the amount of yucky rainy days we've had the past few weeks has been a bit much, and quite frankly I was about to loose my marbles...but, much to my surprise today it's finally sunny out! So I had to take full advantage of this gorgeous day and head down to the beach to take some photos....

Check out the rest of my sunny day photos here:

Brad Ford:

Lately I have developed a design crush on the New York based designer, Brad Ford from Brad Ford ID. You may not recognize the name but I’m sure you design gurus out there have seen his work in plenty of design magazines. His design style is the perfect balance between clean lines, rustic textures, elegance, and functionality. Old vs. New is a common theme in his designs as well, I love the touch of 60’s flare mixed with chic modern elements.

Skateboard Sculptures:

I've recently come across this Bowen Island artist, his work is very unique.

Welcome!

Hello! And welcome to ‘Decor n’ More’, for those of you who know me, can agree with the fact that creating a blog is the perfect way for me to organize and talk about all things imaginative in the world.

I have such an appreciation for everything that has to do with design, art and craft; I felt it would be a waste not to share it with fellow creative souls out there. That said, for those of you who do not know me, I am a recent Interior Decorating Graduate from Sheridan College; I enjoy painting and have a passion for DIY.

I've just moved to Vancouver, British Columbia and felt that creating this blog would be a great way to start off my new adventure here in the west coast. Throughout my blogging I will strive to share all things I find inspiring and in turn, hope to learn as much as possible along the way!

                  Loving the mountainous view!
