Ever been out shopping….browsing thru magazines/online…..watching a TV show and then seen…. IT?
The “IT” being that most amazingly cool piece that is calling out to you, telling you it belongs in your home? No? Well I have…… MANY times!

Here are some of those IT… as in “must-have it” pieces that I had to have for our new/old house:

For the bedroom (I found a similar one at Homesense)….

I first saw this fun piece of colourful art when we stopped for lunch at a winery in the Okanagan when visiting family…the original was hanging on the wall and I thought about it for over a year then contacted the artist. I’m a sucker for chickens, red wine, and colour….

I saw these online and KNEW they’d be perfect for above the fireplace:

Go check out the website for this artwork called “Storm” by Jonathan Havelock which hangs in our dining room (it’s 82″ x 38″& more impressive than it looks here). I love canola fields in the summer and always roll down the windows when driving so I can inhale the sweet smell of the blooms….and the colour is amazing!

You’ll also find a few of these wonderful wine racks in the dining room:

Don’t ask. We can’t help who we fall in love with haha…….

This one will only happen if we won the lotto as it’s the price of a pretty decent car….*sniffle* I would sleep beside this La Cornue range if I had it…….isn’t it a beauty?!

I saw him in a restaurant and fell in love….but will covet from afar:

Moooi Rabbit lamp

I could go on…….. especially if I was talking about shoes. But that’s another list 😉

Here’s a peek at my IT finds that followed me home 🙂
