My home is
an eclectic mix of different elements that I’ve collected over the years and
through-out my different trips. I
thought that I could show you all a glimpse of some of my favourite things that
hang on my walls. Here’s a little tour of my favourite pieces!
The living room
Here is a
set of 3 water-colors that I bought on one of my trips to Morocco. These
represent scenes from the Essaouira fishing port and were painted on site by a
local artist. It’s hard to believe that these cost me only 20$ for the set of
three!
This piece
is very special to me because it was drawn by my husband. This intricate weave
of swirls actually represents Arabic scripts… don’t ask me to translate!
The Hall
This is the
very first piece of art that I hung in my very first apartment. A lithography
of my home town. A little something my father gave my when I left home to come
to university here in Montreal… 9 years ago already!
This is the
poster from my final design exhibition from the University of Montreal. I see
it every day and it reminds me of the
four great years that I spent studying industrial design and all of the
wonderful people I met during that period of my life.
The Kitchen
I don’t
think I’ve ever mentioned this before, but my father owns some restaurants.
This is actually an old breakfast menu that used to hang in one of the
restaurants. I worked there many many summers (the morning shift actually) and
this really reminds me of my childhood and all of my summers there!
The Bedroom
This frame really means a lot to me. A
few years back, my grandmother gave me the paper dolls that she played with as
a child. These are literally about 80 years old. I really loved the faded
colors and the detailing of the faces and clothing. I thought that they needed
a special place, so I showcased them in this framed montage that hangs on my
bedroom wall.
Last but
not least, these neat little frames that mimic the old Polaroid pictures. I
have a montage of different shots of my husband and I hanging just over our
bed.
