Photo credit: Walter Manning via Remodelista Vancouver just got better with the recent opening of the Gastown (home and living) store, Old Faithful. Owners Walter Manning and Savannah Olsen refurbished an old turn of the century shop (see building's heritage here) in one of Vancouver's most historic districts filling it up with tastefully selected quality goods from around the world. Using reclaimed wood (found on Craigslist) they've created a really sweet space using the moss covered pieces to enclose their cash desk, display windows, and even a display house (all built by Manning himself)!
The stock inside is to die for with product that has stood the test of time like enamelware (coffee and mug sets), North American Indian blankets, beautiful tablecloths and napkins from Fog Linen, blankets from Brahms Mount and newer works like Totem stacking cups by Rob Southcott, ceramic planters by Genevieve Dionne, slip-cast votives from Pigeon Toe Ceramics, and lighting and quality industrial furniture from Union Wood Company. Also beautiful succulent plants, terrariums, soaps and candles are scattered throughout.
A gorgeous space that is a welcome to this part of the city and a must-see if you're in the area. All photo's by Becka Nathan of Bliss in a Teacup unless otherwise noted. Click here to see a slideshow of all of the photo's Becka sent our way!
