Desire the look of the ultra-Canadian deep woods cabin but shudder at the thought of Bambi on your wall? Us too, that’s why we love Bucky the Deer.

This Deer Head Trophy is the perfect DIY project for folks that want to stick with cardboard and glue for the time being. Bucky gives an instant, camp-y upgrade to a modern space. Let loose with glitter, paint and stickers for the ultimate eclectic deer head look.

There's a reason Scandinavian interior design is so coveted: clean lines and minimalism never go out of style.

Beltline design shop, Kit Interior Objects curates its collections with an eye towards this simple aesthetic. Muuto, a Danish brand, has released ‘Stacked’ (starting at $450), a gorgeous modular shelving system. The best thing about the shelf? Each piece will be completely unique as you get to choose different sized boxes and finishes to generate your custom shelf.

And bonus points for furniture we don't have to put together. —Kait Kucy

Perfect for summertime coffee dates on the porch this Anchor Sugar & Creamer (US$32) from Brooklyn-based BROOKLYNREHAB is absolutely one of those items. Inspired by the designers studio window views, the nautical themed set was designed and made in her Brooklyn studio.

Plenty of Calgarian designers launching new product on their soon – you can actually keep track of in-progress projects to pre-order.

Time to Heather the nest.

A cozy new concept to Calgary, The Heather Company brings deluxe European-inspired (but made -in Canada) fabrics and bedding to your boudoir. Just like we are seeing the mixing of prints in fashion, the same goes for your home. We love this combination of the Addison Aqua print mixed with Chevron Natural pillow.

Online furniture purveyor Society Social is bringing happy hour home with its retro-chic bar carts.

There's something so refined about shaking Sidecars and French 75s at the drop of a hat — it's becoming a must-have party trick for dinner parties and themed get-togethers,

The Devlin bar cart (US$515), a perfect choice for the condo-dwelling sophisticate, has metal casters and plenty of storage. And the real fun begins with the careful curation of liquers and pretty decanters.

Cin cin! —Kait Kucy

There is just something about sparkling water that makes it easy to sip eight glasses a day.

The SodaStream system ($179.99) is our new H20 addiction with an eco-friendly side (it helps curb our use of plastic water bottles). The stylish and unobtrusive machine transforms regular tap water into carbonated water, and comes with various flavours for DIY soda creations.

Now the only thing to decide is, flat or sparkling?

We're tired of the take-out/restaurant/quick-bites cycle. This year, we resolve to start eating at home and we couldn’t be more inspired to do so by these fresh and springy dishes from Crate & Barrel.

A Crate & Barrel exclusive, the Spool Dinnerware Collection is a collaboration with Brooklyn-based industrial designer Olivia Barry and C&B. This simplistic collection will meld perfectly with any mismatched plates you have kicking around. The rustic vibe of the dishes definitely inspire us to dust-off the Jamie Oliver cookbook while the creamy soft lines will photograph perfectly as we Instagram our 2013 concoctions. —Kait Kucy

If making a difference globally is part of your goodwill plans for the holiday, take a look at Dignifiy, a Calgary company working with women from Bangladesh, Uganda and Rwanda.

The story behind the blankets is an inspiring one, as the goal is to help remove women from the sex trade and provide new opportunities for them involving the creation of Bengali traditional kantha blankets. Warm and stitched up with at least six vintage saris, these blankets look like something out of an Anthropologie catalogue. The saturated colours of the Harvest No. 4 Kantha Spread ($196) are just stunning and will make a cozy statement to whatever room you add this to.

We picture quiet Sunday mornings wrapped up in this with a good book. —Kait Kucy
