Well we changed things up a few years ago and I’m now working inside the house in our kid’s former ‘playroom’ over the garage. It was a space that wasn’t being used much anymore and it’s simply more convenient for my business of product development and design which involves lots of schlepping. Have a look… Lots of shelving and nooks and… cobi's house, cobistyle products, inspiration, organizing, 2016-08-31T14:19:00+00:00 http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/news/entry/august_september_renodecor_mag http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/news/entry/august_september_renodecor_mag#When:19:11:00Z The current issue of Reno & Decor magazine is available to read FREE online.

So classic and fresh! This bamboo and canvas folding director’s chair and ceramic garden stool are just as at home inside as out. And the white metal and glass drum table has an airy, summery look as do the grass wrapped tumblers and white teapot. I love the mix of blue… cobistyle products, colour, decorating, summer, 2016-05-16T17:38:00+00:00 http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/blog/entry/plum_pillows http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/blog/entry/plum_pillows#When:07:00:00Z Here’s a pretty little grouping of cobistyle to brighten up your living room or porch this Spring! This trio of coloured glass bottles looks just as good empty as they do with one large leaf or flower stem in them. The pinks, plums and purple shades of the fabrics compliment each other without looking too matched. And the patterns coordinate beautifully with the large geometric acting as… cobistyle products, colour, decorating, spring, 2016-04-13T07:00:00+00:00 http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/news/entry/april_may_issue_of_renodecor_magazine http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/news/entry/april_may_issue_of_renodecor_magazine#When:22:46:00Z Click here to read this issue online. 2016-03-15T22:46:00+00:00 http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/blog/entry/shepherds_changeroom http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/blog/entry/shepherds_changeroom#When:15:27:00Z Recently I was offered the chance to dress a change room at a beautiful women’s fashion store in Ottawa called Shepherd’s. Each year or so, Shepherd’s owner, Marlene Shepherd, asks different Canadian designers to transform a change room and turn it into something special. Of course each one is totally different providing lots of fun visual surprises for customers. I decided to go for my signature blue and white palette - something graphic and fun but also classic. Papering the entire room in a bold geometric patterned wallpaper would have… cobistyle products, colour, decorating, inspiration, 2016-03-14T15:27:00+00:00
