totally not true. i purchased Sitcom from a major furniture retailer, and found it to be good quality, and really good looking. i would recommend it highly. by the way, what is not made in Asia now?

I saw an interesting sofa on-line designed by Henry Hale (see web site below), and can't find out anything meaningful about its quality. Does anyone have any experience with this designer's furniture? Thanks! laura Here is a link that might be useful: zoehome

In Ottawa? There's a furniture store in Ottawa called My Home. That link you shared doesn't have any real contact information, no phone number, no business address. My conclusion would be, dodgy! Just because they're using Shopify software (nearly everyone does, now) doesn't make them legit. Maybe try contacting them and see if a human responds, before giving them your hard-earned money!

In my experience most architects suck at interior design and especially kitchen design. So don’t worry about that perception It will be to your advantage as an architect to find a good interior designer to add to your team so now would be a good time to explore that option. For instance O live the inspo pic but honestly it is non functional so that is where a good ID can be invaluable in getting the look but in a practical way. IMO your first step should be lighting and all in LED 4000K bulbs since most of your furnishings are contemporary you want the colors to stay true
