West Elm opens!

West Elm, the home furnishings arm of cookware store Williams Sonoma, has opened its doors in Canada; in Toronto's Liberty Village.

The store is cash and carry, meaning you get instant gratification when you finally settle on that great headboard.

Sadly, your intrepid editor yet to make it into the shop, but their website provides a lot of great nature-inspired eye-candy.

The manzanita candle holder (shown), for $99, would be the perfect centrepiece for a winter wonderland-inspired table (yes, I'm already thinking about the holidays!) and the sliding-top coffee table would be a good solution to my remote control and video game accessory storage problems.

And, no home would be complete without the organic snow leopard bath mat, for $29, which may be landing in my bathroom shortly (with matching towels)! If snow leopards aren't your thing, it also comes in giraffe.

Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to grab a few hours to head in and scope it out in person!
