LOVE THE DESIGN

Love the design is now open....I was lucky enough to watch Christine Flynn transform the space next door at 1362 Queen street east from the old H&R block to what it is today.
Opening officially last saturday - the space houses her resin finished photographs - Vintage inspired and true to Christines aesthetic, as well as a mix of Industrial inspired furnishings, Modern Eiffel chairs in Acrylic against an old door table, Burlap covered chairs and a great collection of Steam punk lighting.

the cloche light is a steal at 195.00 with exposed filimint bulb
The space is awesome - the focal wall as you walk inside the door is Christines painstaking 30hr project of old book pages arranged in only the way an artist can do all over the wall....it is accented with the steamer engine piece of art which again is true to form of this talented artist.


Christine takes inspiration from many things - the industrial edge is a hot look right now in design and the space is really reflective of it.. The touches of Gold - which have almost become a signature of Love the design is even transferred on her logo in the window.
As you all know from me writing about Christine before - Horses were some of my favorite - the dyptich of Levi the horse is spectacular - the 2 pieces make you feel like the horse is breathing on you....
Welcome to the hood Christine
