local focus :: room6

i thought i'd like to start featuring some of my local favourites, including shops, companies, services and designers. here in vancouver we are lucky to have a fairly diverse shopping + design scene. of course there are many mainstream stores, but my faves are the small + unique one-off-shops, and we have some great ones. this first one is huge inspiration for the shop i dream of opening one day with my good friend mina.

room6 in deep cove is fantabulous. megan, the owner, has amassed a well-edited and beautiful selection of goods, and her oft-rotating inventory makes room6 the perfect spot to shop for yourself, your kids, your best friend, or your mom.

all of the companies i've mentioned above have their own shops and websites. if you need a hand finding any of them, please let me know, as all of these links are to specific items in the room6 shop.
