The floors are created from custom Spanish tiles and Moroccan pattern concrete to create the illusion of area rugs, as pictured above. Our fixtures include an antique apothecary unit hosting a neon <strong>“DRUGS”</strong> sign, its sister neon <strong>“PRESCRIPTIONS”</strong> lives at the West Queen West flagship to connect the north outpost with our roots.</p> <p>Look up! Our signature neon purple cross will hang on the building’s exterior letting our new friends + guests know that they’ve arrived at a cultural crossroads.</p>http://blog.drakegeneralstore.ca/post/49181701852http://blog.drakegeneralstore.ca/post/49181701852Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:25:00 -0400Drake General StoreYonge and EglintonTorontoNewDesignStoreInterior DesignYonge Street<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f0d5f0269e3bb3ba1157b21acbc78467/tumblr_mlqb5lqLJP1qjvwd3o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><img alt="image" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c164/shanninM/hachette_howtoboilanegg_zpsece24544.jpg"/></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.drakegeneralstore.ca/products/how-to-boil-an-egg">Take Home: How to Boil an Egg</a></strong></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c164/shanninM/HBC_cabanatowelcopy_zpsf2297ce5.jpg"/></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.drakegeneralstore.ca/products/hudsons-bay-company-beach-towels">Take Home: Hudson’s Bay Beach Towels</a></strong></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c164/shanninM/HBC_classictowel_zps04b91d59.jpg"/></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.drakegeneralstore.ca/products/hudsons-bay-company-beach-towels">Take Home: Hudson’s Bay Beach Towels</a></strong></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c164/shanninM/areaware_pinkpig_zps65df2d93.jpg"/></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.drakegeneralstore.ca/products/harry-allen-piggy-bank">Take Home: Harry Allen Piggy Bank</a></strong></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c164/shanninM/canvas_colandertin_zps2af36855.jpg"/></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.drakegeneralstore.ca/products/harry-allen-piggy-bank">Take Home: Tinware Colander </a></strong></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c164/shanninM/canvas_measuringspoonstin_zps70032b99.jpg"/></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.drakegeneralstore.ca/products/ceramic-tinware-measuring-spoon-set">Take Home: Tinware Measuring Spoons</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.drakegeneralstore.ca/collections/home%20%20">HOME IS WHERE ________</a></strong></p> <p>What’s your favourite thing to do at home?
