I was raised to love hand-crafted products from a young age. From sewing to knitting to cross-stitch, my Mum did it all and passed some of those skills along to me. I by no means became an expert in any of these techniques, but I did garner a deeper appreciation for them.
I think it’s that long-ingrained appreciation for hand-crafted designs – along with my love for all things deconstructed – that causes me heart to skip a beat when gazing at the Canevas Collection from Spanish rug company Gan.
This collection is such a delicious marriage of a traditional technique with a fiercely modern aesthetic.
The poufs might actually be my favourite variation on the theme within this collection – such a fun way to bring a sense of whimsy and edge to a modern family room!
What was your favourite hand-crafting project as a child? Does Gan‘s collection inspire any ideas on how you might modernize a traditional technique, breathing new life into an old idea?
Wishing you an inspired Tuesday!

Most rooms benefit greatly from the addition of an area rug. Besides providing comfort underfoot, they offer inspiration for color schemes and hide unsightly flooring, such as worn hardwood or carpeting. Designs range from more traditional Persians and French needle points to bold modern art rugs and Designer Rugs that come in almost every color. Other practical benefits: rugs dampen noise and can easily be moved from room to room or house to house.When choosing a pattern, consider what works best with your decor. For example, a rug with a central-medallion design works well in an open-seating arrangement or centered under furniture, such as a glass table, where the design will still be visible. In rooms with awkward proportions, a rug with an overall pattern works best because it distracts attention from problem areas.
