Edmonton Interior Decorator | Sunpan Modern Furniture | Vote for me


Exciting news! 

Sunpan Modern Furniture shortlisted my submission to OFFICIALLY name one of their new furniture pieces. I love their affordable and chic designs, so I just knew I had to enter. As soon as I saw the ottoman, it reminded me of a wine barrel. Who else makes great wines, but the Italians? So I chose the name, based on a southern region in Italy and I came up with: Campania Barrel Ottoman.

It would mean SO much to me if you would vote for my submission. If I win, I will be gifted with the Campania Barrel Ottoman and I will be giving it away to one of my lucky readers!

Thank you for all your love and support! Please vote for Campania Barrel Ottoman at http://on.fb.me/1buFITy
