Consider a piece with a story РSalvaged, recycled and upcycled wood accents continue to grow in popularity. Artemano (http://www.artemano.ca/) incorporates these qualities into their designs. They have created a table for their Railway collection from recycled railway wood that has braved the rain, heat and passing of time that is sure to be a conversation starter! If a larger piece is not your style, try one of their smaller accessories, such as candle holders, bowls or trays that are made from recycled buildings and bridges to add a touch of whimsical to your d̩cor.
Add a little splash to your back splash – Adding a new backsplash can change the entire look and feel of your kitchen. Made in Canada, Smart Tiles (http://www.thesmarttiles.com/) are an ingenious new budget friendly brand of tiles that are easy to work with. They are self-adhesive and very easy to install, so even if you aren’t a pro, you can add a new backsplash in 2014. Specially designed for kitchen and bathroom environments, Smart Tiles are resistant to both heat and humidity. This year, why not try out some black and white tiles or the timeless subway tile? They come in a range of styles and colours and are also easy to remove - which means you can change the style as often as you want. Adding pops of colour in your accessories will allow you to mix it up year after year.
