My Top Picks from Interior Design Show West

Stacy Reynaud

First, I'll tell you what wasn't my favourite - the Mah Jong sofa by Roche Bobois. I've idolized this sofa on pages of magazines for years. I've even posted about it here in 2008, (and how I sold all my furniture when I was in a mood). This is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever sat on (even more than my peacock chair).

Please pardon my 2013 crappy phone photos.

There was a table-setting competition, and this woodland theme was by far the most popular.

The feature wall of the woodland room.

Do you ever feel like sometimes skulls are the equivalent of birds, as in, 'Put a bird on it.'?

This was cute. A table with a terrarium built in - sans bird.

I liked this textured fake brick for a wall in our apartment 

(the wall is concrete, and we can't hang anything on it).

This was the Scandinavian table in the table-setting competition.

These were the best truffles I've ever had in my life. 

Bowen Island Chocolatier Cocoa West. They have an online shop and a B&B.
