Christmas decorating ideas (part 8)
A bowl filled with fresh pomegranates and silver candlesticks create the perfect centerpiece on the dining table, an antique from the 1870s.
Christmas decorating ideas (part 7)
TOP LEFT: The all-natural look of the outside of the stuccoed, contemporary Mediterranean-style duplex is a nice contrast to the glittery blue and white inside. (Darci rents out its second unit.) Builder, Townline.TOP RIGHT: This well-worn vintage armoire tucked into a corner of the living room is a key character piece in the space — and offers an interesting display alternative to a mantel. It houses
favourite antique picture frames, books and knickknacks — and at Christmas, decorations and stockings — creating an intriguing foil to the clean-lined furnishings. Even the sparkly sconces over the mantel are trimmed for the holidays. Armoire, pouf, stockings, The Cross.
CENTER: Tiny ornaments on the tree reiterate Darci’s signature Tiffany blueon-white palette. Tree, David Hunter. OPPOSITE: Outfitted with luxe pillows and throws, the tufted sofa is an inviting perch. Darci is a fan of the “taxidermy” look; at Christmas, she frames this carved
stag’s head with a mercury-glass wreath.Sideboard, wreath, stag, The Cross.
Christmas decorating ideas (part 6)
Darci keeps her seasonal floral accents understated. A stone urn filled with a potted plant is a bold, stately alternative to a bouquet. Ornaments hung from the chandelier add holiday cheer. The large windows fill the open-concept space with natural light. Their dark frames, which have an old-world industrial look, articulate them nicely. Table, chandelier, urn, The Cross.
Christmas decorating ideas (part 5)
ABOVE AND LEFT: Darci left her bedroom walls bare to let the pretty accessories shine. Raffia upholstery gives the antique headboard an updated look. Bed, linens, lights, garland, The Cross.TOP RIGHT: A pretty little tablescape approximates a winter scene. RIGHT: Holiday touches are an intriguing mix of natural and glamorous. BOTTOM LEFT: This faux “tree stump”
is really a white-painted planter flipped upside down. A squirrel is a fitting accent. BELOW: Rather than use layers of whites in her bedroom, Darci played with various tones of turquoise blue here. BOTTOM RIGHT: A bathroom nook holds a reproduction picture frame filled
with antique European documents. Documents, frame, The Cross.
Christmas decorating ideas (part 4)
TOP LEFT: A painted brick wall and arched wood breakfast bar give the kitchen a hacienda feel, which was influenced by time Darci spent in the U.S. southwest. Shelves at the bottom of the arches act as built-in footrests. Cabinetry, concrete counters, Townline; fridge, Sub-Zero; stove,Viking; faucet, Cantu; wall colour, Cloud White (CC-40), Benjamin Moore.
TOP RIGHT: Designer Darci Ilich (pictured) is a co-owner of Yaletown decor shop The Cross. Frosty, snow-like flocking gives her Christmas tree more presence, which also means the tree
doesn’t require too many decorations.
CENTER: Darci incorporated feminineflourishes throughout the house, like these napkin rings. Embellishing touches like this are perfect for Christmas. The blue-patterned linens echo the decor’s Tiffany-blue motif — and she plays up this colour in her holiday decorating.Napkin ring, The Cross.
Christmas decorating ideas (part 3)
Despite her penchant for white, Darci chose an intimate round dining table in dark hardwood; it ties in with the dark window frames and kitchen cabinets. Marble flooring was chosen forits easy upkeep; Darci uses the beach year-round, so sand is ever-present. STL Athena marble tile, Toorak Tile; table, chairs, chandelier, The Cross.
Christmas decorating ideas (part 2)
Set up high on a table to make it a focal point, the flocked Christmas tree has the feel of a much larger version. Birch logs in the corner are an organic hit that echoes driftwood on the beach outside. Builder, Townline; tree, David Hunter.

The main floor is open concept, but the living room feels cosy and cottagey, with a European look influenced by visits across the pond. The artwork over the custom fireplace is by local artist Andre Petterson. Artwork, Bau-Xi Gallery; sofa, chairs, table, sconces, lamp, The Cross.

A Few Words About Buying Dining Room Furniture
If you’re planning on purchasing new dining room furniture soon, you have a big decision to make. The furniture will be in your home for a long time and will become a part of many family memories. How can you determine what dining room furniture is right for your home?
Pick Dining Room Furniture That Fits Your Lifestyle
Is your dining room more of a multifunction room than just a dining room? Do the kids do their lessons at the table? Do you use it as a workspace for craft projects? Is this where family and friends gather to play games? If so, you may want a more casual style for your dining room. The popular pub-style tables teamed with bar stools could be a good choice for you. You can seat up to eight people equitably around the table with no designated head or foot.
If you occasionally need a larger, more formal space to entertain, consider a table that has butterfly leaves. The table will expand to allow additional seating, but the leaves fold up and store conveniently within the table itself when they aren’t in use. No need to find special storage space for these leaves.
If you entertain often and your dining room is reserved strictly for dining, there are many elegant options available. Finding a set of dining room furniture that has a matching hutch or sideboard to store china and linens is a beautiful solution to your needs.

Dining Room Furniture Fashions
Dining room furniture is as varied as the families that use it. Your dining room furniture should reveal your personal style. You can find dining sets that are sleek and contemporary, ornately traditional, or rough hewn and rustic. Do you want the dining room to have a cohesive feel with the rest of your home? If so, dining room furniture that coordinates with the architectural style of your house and the décor in your other rooms will achieve that affect. Of course, you can always add some diversity. For instance, a metal table usually looks contemporary, but choosing one with curved legs will add more formality to the room. Style choices are plentiful. You’re sure to find one perfect for your home.

Multiple personality room
Tara life's constant play between dark and light. We are not talking ordinary night and day, either. We're talking dark night of the soul here an elegant black dinner party, each chair characteristic of a different personality. And we're talking bright, cloudless day, were she sheds the shadow of her alters. 1) The pink and yellow bergere? That would be T's "in your face and little garish," says Mann. 2) The masculine wing chair and 3) The slipper chair.
Interior Design: Tips on Creating a Home Nursery
When you find out that you are going to become a parent, many things run through your mind. After the initial shock, joy, uncertainty, and acceptance, there is only one thing to do: prepare for baby! This can be a great deal of fun, and one way to include your husband and get him excited too. I find it more fun to design a nursery once the sex of the baby is known, but for those of you who want the sex to be a surprise, there are still tons of options to make your baby's space unique. Baby products are always in demand, and have come a long way in terms of having options for style. Traditional, transitional, and contemporary furnishings and accessories are all available at a variety of price ranges.
We'll begin designing your dream nursery with determining a color scheme for your little one's new space. For girls the tradition has always been soft pink, but I find more new parents wanting other options. Look at brighter pinks or soft purples/ lavenders. Powder blue is no longer your only option for boys either. Orange or green hues can also be used to spice up your son's space. If you want to be really inventive or brave, use combinations of the above colors to set your nursery apart from the rest. One of my favorite combinations is a soft pink with orange accents for happy baby girls, or blue and soft green for a bouncing baby boy. For those trying to prep nursery's for a baby whose sex is not known, yellow is very common, but you could still use an orange or green theme and add the blue, pink, or purples in later. My personal favorite option for this situation is to remain very neutral. Bright or soft whites, tans, and browns can be easily accented to reflect the sex of your little one once you bring them home. This can also give mom something to do during the resting period after the birth.
On a normal basis, I discourage matching furnishings, but for nurseries it seems very appropriate. It gives a crisper, cleaner look, which most new moms find to be very appealing in the "nesting" period. If a whole suite of furnishings is purchased you should have a crib, changing table, and chest of drawers or armoire. White painted, natural or stained woods are my general recommendation. I don't believe in purchasing new furnishings for every child, but instead changing the surroundings and accessories to reflect the child's individuality, therefore I would consider it bad practice to purchase a pink, blue, or gender specific crib. The only exception would be for my clients who have more than enough money to burn and are less concerned with cost than showing off their new bundle of joy's space.
For mom's comfort I like to specify either nursing chairs, or for those who bottle-feed, a comfy rocker/glider (some nursing mothers like to have these chairs as well). Dads are fond of the gliders too, and I will get requests to accommodate more than one in a room so he can share the experiences with his spouse.
Baby items have become big business, and accessories and bedding can be found everywhere. If you're looking for value, you are no longer given two or three options, there are thousands. Quality items are also abundant, but becoming more boutique store items, as cheaper alternatives have started to affect their niche markets. Baby bedding and curtains can be purchased to match, but in this regard, I still like to switch it up and add a designer's touch by using coordinating (not matching!) fabrics. Accessories for babies' rooms can go from art to decals on walls, knickknacks or vases, toys, and mobiles.
As far as making feedings and other things more convenient, I like to include a hidden bottle prep area in the closet, which generally isn't used until the child is older (unless for storing extra items baby is to young for). A small freestanding refrigerator for extra milk or nursery water can be easily hidden in most closets and the bottle warmer and clean bottles stored on racks can be neatly placed on top of the refrigerator for easy accessibility.
