Brighten Your Stay
Last week, the announcement of the new Pantone Hotel in Brussels was all the rage. With Pantone's hip, minimalistic yet bold personality, it's such a smart licensing deal for this hotel to make. Pantone has slowly crept into our everyday lives with household goods, accessories or even eyeglasses. And now, it can be a part of our vacation experience. We love colour here at I'll Know It When I See It, so we couldn't resist finding out more. //Read More
Recover: Not your Grandma’s Wallpaper
Wallpaper has been around forever (it sometimes seems to last forever) and it's definitely made a resurgence back into homes over the last few years. Typical wallpaper is made from vinyl with lots of chemicals so what about eco-friendly options? Funky Little Darlings has got it covered. //Read More

Ever since going on a diet, I've become obsessed with food. I salivate when I see food magazines. I'm watch the Food Network when I work out and lately have become fixated on stainless steel cookware sets and kitchen gadgets. I'm sure armchair psychologists would have a field day with me! So no surprise, when I passed by a Williams-Sonoma, in I went without hesitation. //Read More
Wall Shadows and Silhouettes
We're big fans of Le Papier Studio here and a couple weeks ago, Vana revealed her latest and greatest creation - Silhouette wall decals! This is a fantastic idea and I love wall decals myself (there's a huge one on my living room wall) as it's an easy way of changing the space without the hassle of painting. //Read More
Library of a Modern Girl
With the way technology is going, the cries of, "Print is dead!" can be heard. While I love my Apple products and dare I say, even those e-readers (despite my initial reservations) there is nothing like holding a book in my hands. I find filled bookshelves quietly comforting and curiously appealing. It's like a million different lives sitting and waiting for me to dive into. The space is limited in my tiny apartment but in the home of my dreams, I have a library. And these books would certainly be part of the collection. //Read More

Olympic Designs: Coke
It's hard to believe we have 10 days left to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics! Road closures are in effect and sponsors are painting the town with their colours. This past Sunday, Derrick and I decided to go downtown to experience the hype that's slowly building each day... //Read More
In Good Taste
When I first met my husband, we started taking trips down to Seattle to do what everyone else in Vancouver does - shop, snack and spend. That's when we first discovered the Red Mango chain and our obsession with fat free green tea frozen yogurt and mochi. Well it seems we are amongst the many others who have also caught on to this frozen yogurt craze. New chains around the world are popping up with colourful personalities that build their attraction beyond taste. //Read More
Laptop Lovely
I used to work with the buying team for laptops at a major electronics retailer. It's unbelievable as to how far laptop prices have come down since then, and how much more fun they now are with top notch designers getting into the business of skins... //Read More
