White dreams

| 2 Commentaries

Don’t you think you’d have the most marvelous dreams if this lovely white bed was yours (below)? How’s this for sweet dreams: this bed is made from FSC certified sustainable ash wood.

White ash bed, $3,900 for Queen size at Area

Maybe all you need is a few pillows and a throw to spruce up your bedroom or living room. We love this white Reed blanket (pictured below) because it’s super soft and made from recycled plastic bottle fibres (75%) and cotton (25%).

Reed blanket in Snow colour, $200 at Area

We’re also feeling this crochet vibe on the Violet pillow (below):

A Good Boy

This White Poodle is really good at sit & stay. $139 at Urban Barn

Need a little company in your condo? How about “man’s best friend”, but not just any canine- an elegantly coiffed white poodle (made of white poly resin) sitting patiently at your knee. With a generally blank but friendly face, this silent companion is already fed, walked and requires little obedience training.

We also really like our furry friend standing up ready to chase a ball. Not to worry: you don’t even need to lift a finger. As long as you don’t mind being the one doing the fetching.

Good boy, Fifi!

The Standing Poodle will wait for you. $149 at Urban Barn

Writing White

The ACME rollerball pen collection is a collaboration between designers and Stylus to create contemporary writing instruments. What's more, they can be converted into fountain pens with a separate kit. Above, the "Metamorph" pen by Asymptote, $90 at Stylus.

Well, actually, it’s the writing instruments that are white, although we highly recommend opting for some white ink for your next “Dear Secret Admirer” correspondence.

As writers and fond friends of paper and pens, we’re excited to feature the ACME collection of writing instruments available at Stylus. These modern and beautiful pens are the product of industry designers’ take on this most under-rated everyday tool.

Our fave: the “Punctuation” rollerball pen by Harry Allen (pictured below). Don’t you just adore all those exclamation points and accents “aigus“?

ACME "Punctuation" pen by Harry Allen, $95

ACME "Halftone" pen by Todd Falowsky, $95

ACME "Petal" pen by Gabrielle Lewin, $95

ACME "Geometri- Blk/Wht" pen by Verner Panton, $95

Stamping White

Frost White Ink is a shimmery white pigment ink perfect for stamping. $6.61, at Stampin' Up!

With the fall season breezing in this month I’m proposing a white stamping option for your paper projects.

I’ve had a thing for stamps since I was but yay tall (as they say) and my stamps are still kicking around in a shoebox, waiting for a fresh coat of shimmery white ink to modernize their rubber faces.

As it turns out, white ink can be hard to find and I was delighted to stumble upon Stampin’ Up!‘s Frost White pigment ink (pictured, top). I really like the idea of using white ink instead of coloured ink because:

1. White ink will look fab on coloured paper.

2. White ink will add a certain texture and sheen to white card stock.

3. I love white.

I’m also coveting some new additions to my informal stamp collection. Here are my best picks for fall’s paper projects:

Woodgrain rubber stamp, $13.95 at Paper Source

Bird trio stamp set, $15.95 for three stamps at Paper Source

Oak leaf stamp, $8.00 at Paper Source

Pinecone rubber stamp, $5.50 at Paper Source

If you’re thinking of going all-out with fall’s lovely warm colours, might we propose this fall colour wheel (which includes a white ink pad- of course.)

Colorbox inkpad, $16.95 at Paper Source.
