You want what? Not in Newfoundland
Rant warning!
Have you ever noticed how your location impacts design because of availability of products?
I live in a terrific city, St. John's, on a beautiful island, Newfoundland, inside the North Atlantic known for its culture along with brightly coloured homes.
yet there will be a downside to living on an island; that will doesn't always provide ready access to a lot of products especially in Inner surface design. Judging by the homes for sale on Realtors.ca in my local area, This specific will be a common problem for more than me or my clients. that will being said, every at This specific point along with then you find the perfect solution to your design quandary at local businesses. that will just shouldn't be a sporadic event.
Yes, I know in This specific world of technology anything will be possible, yet if you are super fussy about undertones along with/or comfort, that will could not be smart to order a big ticket item without setting your eyes on said object. that will leaves custom ordering through fabric samples along with hopefully a floor design to test for comfort along with waiting 8 to 10 weeks or more. will be my impatience showing?
What about when you need something in a few weeks or you don't have a grand budget? Back to roaming the limited selections along with hoping something has magically appeared since your last visit. Sometimes that will has!

I admit trying to find the simplest things often cause me the most angst. at This specific point don't get me wrong, I am not looking for odd or far out things. I love more soothing, monochromatic schemes along with often describe my own personal style as blah with lots of art along with fine craft. Sometimes blah will be difficult to achieve!
I went to Homesense weekly for six months to find the type of lamp I wanted for my living room. I was just not willing to spend $0.00 on a lamp.

The last month has passed me by as I tried to source a specific wallpaper for my upcoming kitchen reno.

I finally located sources for the mosaic wallpaper inside the US along with England. Perfect you might think. So did I, until I found out the $7.00 US 6 x 6 in. sample could cost me $56.00 by the time that will was delivered to my door. that will didn't include GST or whatever else Canada Post decides to ding you with at the door. Not going to happen! Move on to the next idea.
More than colour along with next to texture, I love subtle patterns along with in tile the Italians know how to do pattern well. Again I knew what I wanted, I could even paint a picture of that will if requested. that will's more depressing when you can do that will, along with I have seriously considered painting my own tile if all else fails!

Online I found the exact thing I wanted on a tile site in England. With wish I tried two local tile suppliers who assured me nobody will be looking for patterned tile like that will. I am! I am all about monochromatic patterns. that will's just not in style in This specific area I was told. More reason to choose that will in my book. I have visions of me getting the 15 sq. feet I need in England This specific fall along with generating all 7 of my travel companions each carry some home for me. Don't laugh This specific might happen, if I can't find a Canadian supplier or a comparable tile . One last place to check out. Fingers crossed.
along with IKEA's floating shelves are only available onsite. that will's my latest disappointment.
I am worn out before the kitchen reno even begins.
Do you have similar frustrations where you live? How do you get around them?
