Library: The Saint Laurent & Bergé Legacy
I would NEVER pay $123.50 for a shelter book, which is why I'm only now getting to The Private World of Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Bergé (Vendome Press). I have coveted this title since first seeing it late last year, but only recently did it find its way to my favorite book reseller, Toronto's BMV, where I scooped up a copy for $49. I have yet to find a discounted edition of the Christie's hardcover catalogue from "the sale of the century," The Yves Saint Laurent Pierre Bergé Collection, but a friend has kindly loaned me his copy so I could blog about it here.
Good Rental Karma
Friday, April 2, 2010
A lot of you will think I'm nuts but I'm going to share my latest project with you anyway. The bathroom tiles in my soon to be former apartment are original to the 1952 building and look it thanks to years of paint splatters and God knows what else. I knew that an easy fix would be to give the floor a once-over with my favorite paint stripper, a biodegradable, green product (if you can believe it) available through Lee Valley (below). What a difference!
Canadian Cool: Caviar 20
Friday, October 16, 2009
Canadian decorative arts junkie Troy Seidman has taken the plunge and launched Caviar 20, an online clearing house for his own 20th century finds. Seidman is still building his inventory but the pieces he's displaying share a high taste level and reasonable prices in Canadian dollars. The porcelain, bamboo lamp is $160, the breathtaking oak gueridon is $325 and the Knoll Handkerchief chair, which would wake up any corner, is $325.
