About

 
Arren Williams is the name, and I'm a stylist, editor and trend reporter. You'll catch my work regularly popping up in print in the likes of the National Post, House & Home and elsewhere. I'm also a guest expert on Citytv's CityLine, and you can occasionally find me on HGTV as well as on ABC 7 News in Chicago.

To keep things fun I've tapped a couple of friends - Julia Black and Jenn Hannotte - to contribute their views on design too. Enjoy!

One in, one out

David laughed when I brought this lamp in with the groceries the other day, and said he had a feeling I was at Goodwill. How could I resist? Absolutely impossible - It's massive, gorgeous, and was a total steal at $14.99, and that included the linen drum shade. A quick wipedown and here's the result; sitting awfully pretty on the rosewood credenza. Problem is, now we somehow have too many lamps (lol) so I'll have to let at least one of them go (as well as tons of other stuff) when we take part in a neighbourhood yard sale in June. After all, I yammer on about editing all the time so I have to be tough, and stick with the one in one out rule...

LOVE the vignette Arren! So fun and colourful, very Jonathan Adler.

you need to let me know about that yard sale when you have it...

I have no luck with Goodwill or Value Villages. You seem to always do quite well. Any tips? Times to go? Things to look for?

Yes, please let me know about your yard sale as well!
My boyfriend and I bought a fixer upper a few months ago and I have lots of space for new accessories!

Hey Arren!

My hubby laughs at me too... I'm constantly rescuing "orpahaned lamps" and he just doesn't seem to understand my compassion for them. Great find, can I place a hold on it now? ; )

That is a sweet find!
