Interesting Furniture

We're having a long weekend here in Canada, today is the 'Family Day' holiday. The weather's been awesome so far. Yesterday we went to the art store with L and we bought some new art supplies, it was fun. The stuff is expensive but it was a 50% off sale. We got some new acrylic canvas paper pads and some new quality paintbrushes. L found a tube of cobalt blue paint and a small canvas in the clearance box, she was happy.


I was watching TV last week and Cityline featured this piece of furniture that day. It's a kid's adjustable bunk bed that looks like a tree house! Apparently it's made from environmentally friendly wood cut from special forests grown just for that purpose. Gautier is a French furniture company that has recently opened in Toronto. But this bed looks like every kid's dream. Maybe it would be too much fun to actually sleep there!

I'm unfamiliar with Family Day. What's it all about? Are there any particular customs or activities that are associated with it?

The furniture sure looks colorful. I can see the appeal. However, I personally would be afraid of the ceiling falling on my head. Lol. I have always feared lying in a bunk bed for that reason.

Kathy, Family Day is a relatively new statutory holiday in 3 Canadian provinces including ours. The politicians made this holiday as we didn't have one in February, and it's meant to be a day for the family!

I agree! Too much fun! We have a real tree house in our backyard. Cats like it as much as grandkids!
