“Paris is always a good idea.” Audrey Hepburn may not have been speaking about lighting, but this Parisian-inspired sconce from the Westlake Series by Alora Lighting was, indeed, a good idea. The vintage-inspired 'milk jug' shaped glass casts a warm glow while the matte black steel base creates a strong line to mimic the inviting ambiance of the streets of 1920s Paris.

“We wanted a retro contemporary feel for this bar area, which is open to both the kitchen and great room areas. The smooth clean lines of the opal 'milk jug' glass complement the classic granite countertop and backsplash,” says Mical Secter, showroom manager for Total Lighting Sales, the team behind the lighting for this Irwin Homes' showhome in Headingley.

What Lies Beneath

The sconce's medium base socket offers tremendous flexibility for bulb options. An LED bulb provides energy efficiency while the crisp colour emphasizes the opal glass.

“What’s nice about each flooring type is that within each type, you can still customize to your lifestyle. For example, if you want carpet, it's not one size fits all. You can select one that is warranted for pets, or one with a lifetime stain-proof warranty, or a budget-friendly, fixer-upper product. We can truly outfit your space with the perfect product,” says Evelyn Janz, sales manager for Curtis Carpets.

From hardwood and laminate to vinyl and carpet, Curtis Carpets sells and installs all types of flooring for any room, home or building. The locally owned and operated company has been Manitoba's premier flooring store since 1980.

“We offer hundreds of selections, our humble opinions on colour and style, and we can walk you through the process of getting a new floor from start to finish. We have an experienced team for everything – sales, estimating, installations and service,” says Janz.
