West Elm Toronto


West Elm, the younger sister to the gorgeous and rustic home decor store, Pottery Barn, has arrived in Canada, opening up in Toronto's trendy but still rather quiet, Liberty Village.


The open concept loft space and hardwood floors of West Elm Toronto offer the perfect environment to house the modern cottage like furniture that West Elm reasonably sells.



My design savvy friend, Jess, who invited me to the opening party, wrote a fabulous review of the store which can be read here.



Aside from running into milk. audio DJ, Gani and eating delicious mini quiches, a highlight of the night for me was noticing the clever use of a rock as a name card.



In addition to being environmentally friendly and having the option of keeping a personalized paperweight, the cleverly stylized rock was a good indicator of the type of modern & practical pieces that can be found at West Elm.



For those Canadians who still miss shopping at Caban, West Elm offers a wonderful alternative.
