It Started With Artemano
Tuesday, February 09, 2016
Several weeks ago, my husband and I took the kids to Shops at Don Mills for a stroll and some window shopping. We stopped by the newly opened Artemano to admire the beautiful wooden furniture. Little did we know we'd soon find ourselves the owners of a new dining table and bench set.
No, we weren't shopping for a new dining table. But we fell in love with the modern look of this gorgeous freeform table made of suar that, once we learned it was on sale at 50% off, we couldn't resist.
Next, we made our way to Structube just around the corner and began looking for a new sofa set. It was like we were bitten by the furniture shopping bug and couldn't stop. While we found a sofa that we liked, we thought we should shop around so we headed over to Elte Market. That's where I spotted this new coffee table that I now have my eyes on.
While we left there empty handed, we did manage to find what we were looking for at the Chesterfield Shop - a customized 2-piece sectional. I am very excited for it to arrive in the next couple of weeks and, in the meantime, we've been busy rearranging our living space. To help me get a better idea of how to design our living room, I turned to RoomSketcher.com.
The free version has its limitations but it certainly helped me to visualize how I want my living room to be set up. Once the sofa arrives, then we will have a better idea of the look we want and can continue our search for a new coffee table, side tables, a TV stand and yes, a new flat screen TV! Our current Sony tube TV works just fine but I really, really want a new flat screen. Can't wait!

I'm so happy that I live near this mall so I can go check Artemano out. I need some new furniture for my living room.
ReplyDeleteThey have some really unique pieces. We lucked out when we stopped by when we did. Pretty much everything in the store was 50% off!
DeleteWow, I LOVE your new table. Funny that we just visited Artemano while visiting our daughter in Ottawa. And my mom lives two minutes from the Shops at Don Mills, so I will be visiting their store too. Such unique pieces. You will have that piece for years. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a first time inside an Artemano and I was hard pressed to find something I didn't like.
DeleteLove your new table! I find it always starts by looking for one piece and then before you know it you find several! Enjoy your new furniture! (Judy Cowan)

ReplyDeleteNeat tip for the Room Sketcher! I'm a visual person too, and this would be so helpful when picking furniture that fits a space, and knowing how much you actually need (less is more!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to leave a comment here on Toronto Teacher Mom. Hope you have a great day!
