Happy weekend!\u00a0 Are you tired of this bone-chilling weather we have been having? Can\u2019t remember our winters being so cold and long.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned here<\/a>, the Interior Design Show<\/a> is on right now at the Metro Toronto Convention Center. I attended the opening night party on Thursday.\u00a0 So much fun.\u00a0 Here are a few highlights.<\/p>\n

1) The Ikea booth was, of course, amazing. They always do an eye-catching, thought provoking kitchen and bath display. The kitchen with their grey Lidingo cabinetry looks beautiful with marble and brass hardware. The opulent chandeliers seem to pair well with everything. (My photos weren\u2019t that great as there were a ton of people in the booth. These are from the Ikea Canada facebook page<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

And the bathroom! Whoa Nelly! These are gold mosaic tiles which I found out are available at Ciot in the Toronto area.\u00a0 They are called Vanity Mosaic Gold Mirror ( \u00bd x 1 \u00bd) and are sold by the 1.2 sq\/ft sheet.\u00a0 The retail price per sheet is $9.50. So very economical, surprisingly. Would you put them in your powder room?<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"

\n

They also had an antique daybed upholstered in one of their fabrics sitting on one of their new overdyed rugs.<\/p>\n

\"\"

\n

2) The Cocoon<\/a> booth featuring the Aerin Lauder collection was also a favourite.<\/p>\n

\n

3) Loved these wood pendants from Toronto-based the National Design Collective<\/a>. In the right space, they would look stunning in a hallway or over a kitchen island.<\/p>\n

\"\"

4) Edgewater Studio<\/a> glass tiles are always a show favourite and these tiles are part of their \u201cready to ship collection\u201d which means a lower price point and quicker delivery. Yes, please!<\/p>\n

5) Thoreaux <\/a>is a new wallpaper company based in Toronto launching their collection of 8 wallpapers at the show. I\u2019m smitten with the floral on the right called the Last Monarch and inspired by wallpaper from 1850\u2019s Paris.<\/p>\n

\"ids14j\"

I also like the black\u00a0 floral below called Royal Road.\u00a0 Tr\u00e9s cool.<\/p>\n

\"ids14k\"

\n

6) The Sarah Richardson Kravet fabric<\/a> booth appealed to my love of blue. The petite bench in that pattern looks amazing.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Having what turned into an almost 3 hour dinner with friends before the party was a great way to kick off the evening.<\/p>\n

\"ids16\"

And the funniest part of the evening was trying to meet up with our friend\/photographer Stephani (right). For some reason, Christine and I couldn\u2019t connect with her and then near the end of the night, we spot her in the crowd and run after her like mad women. So fun! (actually, it was funnier at the time)<\/p>\n

\"\"

(I like this photo because I look tall. \ud83d\ude42 Just ignore the shine \u2013 there were lots of lights overhead!)<\/p>\n

The show is on tomorrow (Sunday) as well so if you have an opportunity to visit, you won\u2019t be disappointed. Leave a comment to let me know if you went and what caught your eye!)<\/p>\n

Stay warm!<\/p>\n
