Timeless and deliberate, the Composed faucet embodies the beautifully understated elements of minimalist design. By eliminating unnecessary details, the collection is designed to elicit an emotional response with its stark, refined beauty. A striking complement to vessel sinks, this tall single-handle faucet features a top-mounted joystick to control water flow and temperature.

The gorgeous colours of the leaves turning, the crisp and dewy autumn mornings, the amazing shift in fashion and yes, it also means rain here in Vancouver. But let’s keep on the positive…fall is the perfect time to camp out indoors and have a few friends over for wine, a delicious meal and some great conversation. We hope our Entertaining Issue gives you some inspiration on enjoying some cosy nights in during the fall and winter months! On the cover we have West Vancouver’s stunning and palatial Normanby House. This to-die-for home is perfect for entertaining – just try to resist the urge to throw a kitchen party in this gorgeous abode! In honour of their brand new series Great Canadian Cottages airing on Cottage Life this fall, Colin and Justin show us the living and dining area they designed that is perfect for entertaining. We’ll also get some on-point table setting advice from Isabelle Von Boch

Painted Rock can be found in Europe in Bourdeaux, Brussels, and Frankfurt along with a growing list of countries including China and Japan.

From Vancouver, transiting through Dallas-Fort Worth, I landed at Juan Santamaría International Airport (just outside San José) late in the evening, and was met by my driver Josue, who whisked me off on a threehour trek to Tabacon.
