PROVIDE PRODUCT IN THE NEW HOUSE & HOME







We at Provide just received the February issue of Canadian House & Home and were delighted to see some of our product featured in a beautiful editorial about a Whistler renovation. This stunning home belongs to Krista Cooper and her husband Chris – both fabulous supporters of Provide. Interior design credit goes to Lesli Balagno and Joel Trigg of one of Vancouver's leading firms: Heffel Balagno Design Consultants (also great supports of our store). Styling was done by designer Carrie McCarthy – and yes, you guessed it another great friend of Provide.

Luxurious pillows and throws featured throughout this ultimate ski cabin are from local designer Catherine Regehr (exclusively at Provide). In the last image is Catherine's silk small porcupine duvet with a fur throw and pillow – perfect for cool winter nights after a day on the slopes.

HEATH CERAMICS & HOUSE INDUSTRIES



This past holiday, one of our favourite suppliers Heath Ceramics sent us a ceramic tile as a holiday card. It is quite a beautiful object and is the result of a collaboration between Heath Ceramics and House Industries, a type foundry. This of course peaked the interest of the graphic designer in me and I had to find out more. The collaboration cumulated at an event at Heath's Los Angeles store called the Holiday Heath House opening. Check out the House Industries blog for pictures from the event and there were some impressive guests in attendance. It would have been great to be there – but at least we have a tile.

DESIGNER: SHEREEN DE ROUSSEAU







Today I visited the studio of jewellery designer Shereen de Rousseau – it was very interesting to witness her at work on one of her beautiful creations. The studio itself has a very authentic feel with tools in abundance and by the distressed quality of various work surfaces – a testament to the involved process that goes into making each hand-crafted piece of jewellery. All her charms and medallions are hand cast using silver or bronze, beads and stones are individually tied on silk and to finish the exacting process, each piece is hand polished.

Thank you Shereen for this look into your studio and into your dedication for the work that you so passionately do – we look forward to seeing more new designs in 2011. To view Shereen de Rousseau's work, visit providehome.com.
