Happy Monday!\u00a0 Yes, I am announcing the two lucky winners of the Minted giveaway today. But first, just a few links and events to note.<\/p>\n

1) The One of a Kind Show<\/a> starts this Thursday in Toronto. It\u2019s a must visit to see handmade wares and art and do some holiday shopping.\u00a0 This year’s Holiday show features over 800 Canadian artisans from coast to coast, including 90 new participants who will make their debut this season. I\u2019ll be sure to share some photos of my finds but in the meantime, you can read past posts here<\/a> to get a feel for what it\u2019s all about if you have never been.<\/p>\n

2) Did you miss the kid\u2019s bathroom project<\/a> I revealed last week?<\/p>\n

3) I know this has been all over the blogosphere but Cassie\u2019s little reveal<\/a> really shows the impact of wallpaper (or in this case, wrapping paper) in a small space. The Before was so boring and what better way to kick it up a notch than with wallpaper.<\/p>\n

4) I pinned this image<\/a> last week. Don\u2019t you just love this? Wish I had a wide hallway so I can line it with books (oh, ok maybe magazines.) It lead me to this post<\/a> about multiple pendants in a hallway.<\/p>\n

5) The image above reminds me of what Suzanne Dimma created in her recently renovated basement. To make a long hallway interesting and functional, she had a floor to ceiling bookcase custom built.\u00a0 It now houses all of her and her husband\u2019s design books (he is an architect.)\u00a0 You can watch the video here<\/a>. Lots of inspiration and tips.<\/p>\n

6) My friends at Style at Home<\/a> are having their annual cookie swap where one lucky reader will win a Kitchen Aid Artisan Series Stand Mixer.\u00a0 Go here<\/a> for all the details.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0 And now, the winners of the Minted<\/a> giveaway are\u2026 Brittany S. and Daniela D.\u00a0 Please email me at decorhappy(at)gmail.com to find out how to claim your $200 prize.\u00a0 Thanks to everyone for entering.<\/p>\n

Leah<\/a> took some photos of M for our holiday card this year.\u00a0 And I\u2019m deciding between these two card designs. There are so many beautiful choices \u2013 I really loved them all!<\/p>\n

\"MAYAHOLIDAYCARD2\"

And PS where did my baby go? Wasn\u2019t she 5 just yesterday? Now she is 11 and taller than me and such an amazing girl. She says the above image would make a great CD cover.\u00a0 Keep practicing your singing M and you never know!<\/p>\n

\"Springridge

And with that adorable, cheeky face I bid you a happy week!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit of a whirlwind one for me with client meetings\/shopping and fun events which I will share. Follow me on Instagram<\/a> to see up-to-date photos. Also if you do follow, you would have seen snaps of my ensuite makeover in progress – my lovely new faucet, painted cabinets and wallpaper choice. Full blog reveal coming soon –\u00a0 promise!\u00a0 I would have shared here but this post would be so long and I have to run!<\/p>\n
