Southern Airs
Take inspiration from the sofa’s clean lines and opt for a light, fresh feel. Choose accessories with an airy, seaside feeling for a beach-inspired look. Create cheap, chic and beautiful pieces of artwork just by framing pretty wallpaper samples. Lightweight side tables are a smart stand in for a coffee table. Bonus: You can easily move these around wherever you want.

Where in Canada (Nova Scotia) can I find the round end table displayed in your "Modern Monochrome" living room in your September 2006 issue?
Thank you!
You advertise 100% Canadian so I am assuming it is available in Canada.

Hi Alanna,

The table you are interested in is by the Italian company Arper and is called the Dizzie side table. In Toronto, it is available at Kiosk and they will ship across Canada - just call 416-601-1661. Arper is also sold at Latitude Nord – Dismo International in Montreal, 514-287-9038, www.latitudenord.com. You can find out more about Arper at www.arper.it. Hope this helps!

Can you tell me what brand and colour the paint on the walls is? Where was it purchased and what finish was used? I am located in Toronto.

Hi Tamara,

The paint used in this story is called Polar Sky, made by Benjamin Moore (CC-790). We used a flat washable finish - called Ulti-matte - that gives a uniform, clean and glare-free look. Pro Glo Paints at 943 Queen Street East is where we got ours, but many retailers carry Benjamin Moore products. Check out www.benjaminmoore.com for a location that's closest to you.
