Gabriel Ross Photo Contest - Part 2

As you may recall from a previous blog post, back in June I entered into a photo contest at a local modern furniture store here in Victoria BC called Gabriel Ross. Well the results were that my photo won first place and I received a credit at the store! (Yahoo!)


As a side note, I have had a lousy cold this weekend and have basically barricaded myself into my apartment for several days trying to recover. Yesterday when I could take no more cabin fever, I set out up the street to go peruse their selection and see if anything sparked my interest. My haul? I purchased a bright red glass Chat-Board for my kitchen. 

The Chat-Board is a Danish product and is essentially a super sexy magnetic whiteboard (for writing on with dry erase markers). I was tired of writing down reminders and grocery lists on pads of paper on the fridge and I wanted something simpler and better looking. I'm sure that in the future as friends and family trickle in and out of our home the board will receive many artistic contributions and will be a source of interactive entertainment.

Here's a photo from the Chat-Board website of a wall of  different Chat-Boards. 

These pieces are fab because they come in so many sizes and colors! One could even purchase several of the largest size boards and tile the walls of a room giving it a contemporary and glossy look as well as a new practical function. How amazing would that be for a creative environment such as a play room for children or an artist's studio?
