Best of one-of-a-kind home decor
Contributor: Lynne Ro
So you’ve been binge watching too much HGTV and you’re now convinced you can DIY renovate your whole house all on your own. But can you find those perfect design pieces like they do on the show that tie a whole room together.
We are here to help with a curated list of some of our favourite unique pieces, one brand per room of your house. Each featured item will make a statement, and you can rest easy knowing they won’t be found in any of your neighbour’s homes, or at your run of the mill department / decor store.
Bathroom
Bourbon / Whiskey Liquor Bottle Candle
the small batch candle company
Why we love them?
As avid bottle collectors ourselves, we appreciate the up-cycled, classic look of the Liquor Bottle Candle. Every bathroom needs a candle, and we don’t need to go into detail as to why. These one of a kind candles from the small batch candle company are functional and fun. Choose your fav brand, and scent, and light it up when needed. Please note that their Etsy shop does not ship to Canada.
Bedroom
Deer – Poly puzzle animal head
Low Poly Craft
Why we love them?
We love that when you walk into a room the Low Poly Craft 3D puzzle animals jump out at you. They will always catch the eye, and are an inexpensive way to add a statement piece to your bedroom wall. Accent walls are a lot of work, and if you don’t like how they turn out, ugh the headache. Pick out your own Low Poly Craft animal for your bedroom, and give it that lodge getaway feel. The pre-cut, pre-scored geometric paper kits, will also give you and your honey more bonding time, as you enjoy putting it together.
Baby’s Room
Letter S – Wood block toy chest
Adelaide Creek Furniture
Why we love them?
We were drawn to these toy chests at the One of a Kind show in the spring. These gorgeous heirloom style toy chests are handcrafted, using locally sourced wood, in Ontario Canada. Choose your letter, styling, and colours to match your baby’s room. This is an item that will grow with them and could be passed on to the next generation, as it is built to last.
Dinning Room
Live Edge Dining
Live Edge Woodcraft
Why we love them?
So I know that this is the totally trendy thing right now, but there is a reason. Nobody makes a wood table as gorgeous as mother nature herself. The ‘live edge’ table preserves as much of the natural shape, bark, and story of the trees life. We also love that they can fit into almost any style of home, and being solid wood, if you take proper care of them, they will last a life time, maybe more. If you can’t afford to go full table, the group at Live Edge Woodcraft uses cross cut Canadian logs to make beautiful live edge serving boards, and place settings, used in restaurants and homes across the country.
Family Room
Milk Painted Cabinet
DelMar WoodCraft
Why we love them?
We love the custom made cabinets and hutches from DelMar WoodCraft. Using only locally sourced woods, and your choice of colours, they create pieces that can bring a room together. We would say that they have a traditional and polished rustic look to them, but its a look that won’t go out of style. Quality furniture like this is a bit of an investment, rest assured that these handcrafted hutches are going to last generations of beatings from books, toys, collectibles, and more.
Main Entrance
Accent tables
Fuel Glassworks
Why we love them?
We are drawn to these works of art ev-er-y time we see them. Discovered at One of a Kind show in Toronto, the accent tables from Fuel Glassworks are really like no other. Yes the price tag matches the one-of-a-kind tag, they are a show stopper, conversation starter, center piece, and whatever other eye catching descriptors you can think of. They won’t be for everyone, but we love their aesthetic and think they’d have your home on the cover of the next “home decor” magazine.
Play Room
Wall Decor
Mavis Blue
Why we love them?
We love the artwork by the creative gems behind Mavis Blue. The super cute affordable decor, makes adding a touch of style accessible to almost everyone. Give your kids space a theme, or post one of the wonderful messages to inspire them every day at play. Often imitated, support the artist and be sure you are buying original official artwork.
All the pieces in this collection are crafted right here in North America, and sourced locally as well. We discovered most of them at the One of a Kind Show in Toronto, Ontario. As always, if you know of any amazing products we should be sharing with the world, please send us an email, or submit through our online form. We hope you enjoyed this piece, keep on discovering, and stay genuine.
