TRIMS & TOUCHES
Sitting pretty
This pretty, woven retro-style chair, which
comes with a comfy linen cushion, would be ideal
for the deck, the garden or the family room. It is on
sale now at HomeSense, the discount furniture and
home accessories store that has outlets across the
Lower Mainland.
Painting memories
Vancouver portrait artist Crystal Deshaies has turned her talent to home portraits, capturing life’s moments in
her carefully rendered reproductions of local homes. Shown here is her portrait of a Southlands home, painted to
preserve memories before the long-time owners moved on. The custom paintings often include pets, kids or special
family events, according to Deshaies, who hints, “The painting can even reflect makeover plans, or successes.”
