Eastern Influence
Will that great gallery art piece mesh with our beech Cherner chairs?
We’re solving décor dilemmas (and finding inspiration) at Love the Design. Christine Flynn’s new east end space carries hand-picked mid-century modern and French Industrial finds that create a perfect backdrop for her stunning photo and graphic-based art.
We love the resined vintage maps of Muskoka (from $225) and 1940s Toronto trolley roll signs ($950) set against 1920s apartment mailboxes ($3,495), Louis chairs upholstered in coffee bean burlap ($995) and walls papered in pages from an old Farmers Almanac.
Still to come? One-of-a-kind stationery and Flynn’s own line of gothic-style of pillows.
On second thought, the Cherners might be moving into storage.
