North Bay Antique Show

50s vibe in a favourite colour combination.

Happy Family Day everyone! The Annual North Bay Antique Show was on this weekend, an event that a "design aficionada" like myself cannot resist. Even if your style is more contemporary, I suggest you keep an open mind about introducing a few old objects into your space. Why? Because they tell a story and are often beautifully crafted. So if you are looking for conversation pieces for your home, and items that add interest, antique stores and shows are good places to visit.

Yesterday, I was mainly drawn to fun patterns, bright colours, and sculptural shapes at the show. Take a look for yourselves!

Bright colours on a white background always look fresh.

Nice curves!

This pink collection makes quite a statement.
