July Mood '26
Between trips to the cabin, family barbeques, and evenings on the patio, July can get busy but we have you covered! This month's Mood Journal has bright and playful design inspiration, easy fresh seasonal recipes, a green DIY project, and more. Take a trip to the Forks for Winnipeg's newest night market or get excited with us for a new movie release! Summer is here and there are so many opportunities we don't want you to miss out on!
Mt Olympus
The Mt. Olympus project by Project Room is a beautiful study in warmth, texture, and understated luxury. Soft neutral tones, natural wood finishes, and tactile fabrics create a calm, inviting atmosphere, while sculptural furnishings add a sense of effortless sophistication. Anchoring the living space, the Muuto Strand Pendant brings a soft, cloud-like presence that complements the home's organic palette and diffuses a warm glow throughout the room. Its airy form perfectly captures the relaxed yet refined character that defines the entire interior.
