Wow. Stepping inside Bouclair Waterloo on a hot day was a cool experience in a couple of ways. Cool air-conditioned air in my face. Very nice. As I looked around, the cool merchandise in the store captured my interest. How can a style-conscious person believe how far their product line extends?
I love this store, and I stop by whenever I'm in north Waterloo. Love the modern styling. Love the ottomans and storage cubes - there is one of every imaginable size, texture and material. Love the draperies, bed coverings, window coverings, accessories, wall art (including removable wall tattoos), outdoor accessories. And love the furniture.
My kids love the Bouclair microfleece throws that I bought them for snuggling in. So soft and warm. Today I was all over the Akira collection of duvet covers. They are puffy, pin-tucked duvet covers which would add a beautiful textural quality to your bed and provide a cosy, cocoon for nestling in after a long day. Girly, soft and luxurious.
Bouclair is a refreshing and enlighting experience. Bouclair has original items that won't be found anywhere else. And prices are right in line with the rest of the decor world. To check out Bouclair website, click here: bouclair.com.
Enjoy shopping!

To all the Do It Yourselfers out there!
I was reading Style at Home's June 2010 issue, and took note of their style news e-scoop. It highlighted 3 blogs written by do-it yourselfers. Personally, I am energized like crazy when I read these DIY stories. Especially in tight economic times. To make something beautiful out of garbage, now that's special!
The links to these blogs are as follows: centsationalgirl.com, by Kate Riley of California. She is a master at turning junk into jewels! Very inspiring.
The second one is windhula.blogspot.com and is written by Michelle Hinckley, wife, mother of two boys and DIY maven. The blog documents her family life and her DIY pursuits in her home.
The third is aubreyandlindsay.blogspot.com and is written by a Toronto couple, Aubrey and Lindsay, (go figure) who have renovated their home on a budget. Everything they could do themselves, they did, and they did it well.
I love stories about reworking items from worn-out and ugly, to purposeful and lovely. It requires imagination, resourcefulness, and drive to complete a task that may seem like a waste of time to the average person. DIY-ers are way above average. And they end up with a cool, custom stuff.
