Store Love - Country Furniture

Country is certainly an expected decorating style here in Calgary but what you actually find in the stores is a more modern interpretation.  Think less chintz and more plaid, darker tones rather than pastels and industrial-influenced accessories instead of folk art.  This more modern interpretation still has a relaxed and cozy feel to it though just like traditional country decor does.

Country Furniture (738 11th Ave S.W.) exemplifies this modern country aesthetic.  They carry a wide selection of items that would work well in a lot of spaces.  The store is also set in an historic building in the design district which just further adds to the shopping experience.

Chevron orange rug - still not tired of this look

Great oversize artwork

Canoe hanging from the ceiling - sculpture?

Really liked these birch planters

Hanging glass orbs for candles and lovely white dishes in the background

Make your own house number

Wire baskets hung upside down and used as light fixtures - great for a rustic kitchen
