Da Vinci’s Home is proud to announce that we are now carrying the amazingly high quality Precedent Series from Dwell Studio.

Featuring a range of vibrantly adventurous modern textile designs and impeccable construction you will benefit from the well-priced furniture pieces for years to come through their fabulous looks and made-to-last build.

Da Vinci’s Home offers the most competitive pricing that you’ll find on this incredible USA made product. Not only are we confident that we can provide better prices than other retailer’s list prices but is significantly less than purchasing directly from the Dwell Studio’s website – and our price includes shipping AND brokerage!

Known for their contrasting styles and an uncanny ability to take classic elements and twist them into a modern setting with clean lines and sophisticated color having these pieces in your home will always make for an interesting story which was and has always been the goal of founder, Christiane Lemieux, since the company’s inception in 1999.

During the company’s growth, Dwell Studio has garnered the attention of many including that of Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman, whom are both known for exquisite and selective tastes.

We invite you to visit us at the store to view this amazing product; when you do you will immediately see why you need to find room for this product in your home, and luckily Da Vinci’s has the price, the staff, the support and the selection of fabrics to help you fit it and suit it to your room(s) and home perfectly.

Between day trips to Hampton Court, the lovely town of Richmond and quick trips to Oxford and Canterbury there was never a dull moment. Mastering the Underground makes getting around the city a breeze.

We got our “culture fix” with trips to the National Gallery, British Museum and the two Tates just to name of few of the Museums we visited. A must see is the small museum , once the private home of the late Sir John Soane, prominent British architect, dedicated to his personal art, sculpture and artifact collection. The house is covered from top to bottom , not a square inch of empty wall space in sight, with a lifetime of passionate collecting.

The best value for money have to be the London Walks Tours ! For a whopping 9 GBP you join a classic walking tour , usually 2 – 2.5 hours . You learn the history behind the buildings and architecture, visit unexpected alleys and hidden courtyards, the stuff you don’t find in a guide book or see from a tour bus. The guides are amazing, the the variety of tours you can join is astonishing. I have been on 6 so far and they were all fantastic. Go on one tour and you”ll be hooked!

Here are our ideas how to embrace “the look” and still have a space that feels timeless.

A beautiful piece of fabric, something vintage or embroidered, an old Suzani, or even a flag, for example, can look stunning if you take it to your local frame shop and have them stretch and mount it like a canvas or mount behind glass if it is valuable or fragile. Take a favourite photo and get it printed on a huge canvas. Check out Photowow.com for creative ideas.

To me, a house without artwork (and books!) is a home without a soul. Take a look at some of these homes and the artwork that is featured in each shot and then imagine the same space WITHOUT it……..

Here are a few great spaces, courtesy of Elle Decor’s archives, that will hopefully inspire to you to think outside the “box.”

Another convenient way to get your decor “fix” is through a large number of online magazines that have established themselves over the last few years. Check out RUE Magazine and Lonny Magazine . Lonny has been restructuring, so their newest issue will go online in the middle of March.

Due to trying economic times, the publishing industry has had a hard time getting advertisers to commit. As we all know, advertisers are the backbone of any magazine. No matter how awesome the content is, if the advertisers are not willing to pay for the glossy full page spreads the publication just isn’t viable. Hence the fate of  another much loved magazine ,Domino, which published its last issue three years ago.For all of you who mourned its passing, cheer up! Conde Nast is publishing a Special issue this April filled with Domino’s best decorating stories, focusing on small changes that can make a big difference.
