Thank you to Canadian House&Home magazine for featuring my sister and me in their August 2010 Stylemaker section.
This was our second shoot for the magazine – we were profiled a few years back. Photographer Michael Graydon did the honours again and captured both of us preggers! I was early along – but nice to have a little memento in addition to the lovely article.

My book fetish continues. Look at these incredible covers by Penguin. I spotted these while blindly scrolling through the Fridas Fina blog – and I mean, blindly, because the entire site’s in Swedish.
The series was designed by Penguin Designer Coralie Bickford-Smith. They’re inspiring me to revisit some classics!
On such a dreary day, what a treat to discover the fabulous artwork by San Francisco artist Chloe Fleury (via Design Work Life). They are three dimensional and so unique. Each print shows a different SF neighbourhood. I now love the Mission District even more!
I’m Katherine Yaphe, the founder and designer behind Oliver Yaphe, Inc. This business was an idea in my mind for a long time. I knew that I wanted to build something, I just didn’t know how. I worked in the corporate world dreaming of what to do next. Then one day I decided to just start. I launched with rugs. Branched off to artwork. Paper came next. We’ll see what’s to come. What I do know, is there will be more.

I love being inspired to create. It doesn’t matter how big or small the undertaking, it’s more about this feeling that drives so much of what I do. This blog is my space to instill a bit of that energy to my readers. It’s a lofty goal. I might fail horribly. But every once in a while, something might click (or at least I hope so).
