Meet the curator-in-chief

Jelena Pticek has always had a passion for transforming objects that were once old, and making them new again. She especially loves furniture makeovers, and is inspired by bright, vibrant colours and unconventional techniques.

Today, Jelena operates Poppyseed Creative Living in the heart of Toronto's St. Clair West neighbourhood. Poppyseed offers home decor items, as well as the full line of Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan products. She is always happy to provide painting advice and equally looks forward to performing custom transformations. If you live with furniture pieces that have seen better days and are in need of a refresh, drop us a line.
