Rustic Residence

When I walked into Rustic Residence, the interior designer and a friend were organising the store’s wares. What I saw was an eclectic selection of home decoration items, from very unique furniture sets to a hand carved moose head made out of wood on the wall.
The designer explained to me that the owner wanted to provide the community with something different, hand selected objects and bigger functional pieces but that were made of quality materials that added an artistic slant to your décor.
I saw an amazing thick slab of wood that acted as a wine bottle holder; there were architectural pieces from the turn of the century that were refurbished to a more old meets new hutch or dresser. There were some really nice stained glass pieces and some awesome bowls hollowed out of beautiful pine.
The store also has a lower level which carries more of the upholstered items in the store.
Prices here are upper end, but I could see the reasoning behind them, as they are not factory made pieces that are churned out for mass production; you are getting a carved wooden moose head that is one of a kind that you won’t see at your neighbour’s house or any other household in Canada.
The place also pairs furniture and objects with visual art from local artisans, there were many lovely original paintings to choose from yet again to provide punch to your décor.
R and R provide R and R. In that each object has a nice unique energy and would really complement any eclectic home.
