Summer is over.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Hi all! Hope you had a relaxing (long) weekend.  I cannot believe that today is the first day back at school.  Although we had an amazing summer, the highlight being our East Coast trip, I am sad that it is over. I know a lot of Moms who couldn\u2019t wait for their kids to be back at school \u2013 routine, structure and all. I, on the other hand, had so much fun with my girl (and her friends and cousins) and our unstructured days \u2013 sleeping in, no alarm clocks…I didn\u2019t want it to end.  But it did and since I have oodles of work to catch up on, it\u2019s probably a good thing. <\/p>\n

(This is my Monday Meandering post\u2026a day late!)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

1) First of all, thank you so much for all your support and comments on my last post<\/a> (and on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc.) It seems like it happens a lot to other designers, unfortunately. <\/p>\n

2) Blog Podium<\/a> is less than three weeks away and I for one, can\u2019t wait! Will you be there? If you have a ticket, then you can enter to win Tea with Sarah Richardson. How cool is that? But hurry as the contest closes tomorrow (September 4th at midnight). Go here<\/a> for more details. <\/p>\n

3) Did you move someone into university residence over the weekend?  If so, then you know that it\u2019s sometimes tricky to personalize their dorm rooms.  My friends over at Posterjack<\/a> have some great ideas including this photo clothesline using string, clothes pins and your favourite prints. Visit their site for more inspiration and photo ideas. <\/p>\n

4) I loved Jessica Helgerson\u2019s recent project<\/a> featured here<\/a>. It\u2019s a library converted into a residence.

6) I posted this photo on Instagram<\/a> of my bedroom makeover in progress<\/b> with new lamps from West Elm and nightstand from Geovin. <\/p>\n

7) The Princess Margaret Lottery Showhome<\/a> opens this weekend in Oakville. I blogged about previous year\u2019s here<\/a>. This year Brian Gluckstein<\/a> and his team designed and decorated it. It is elegant yet approachable and I can\u2019t wait to visit it in person. Here are a few photos from their site.<\/p>\n

The home is quintessentially Brian including the books in the bathroom which he is known for!  He calls it \u201cThe ultimate entertaining home with traditional and modern elements for glamorous living.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n

8) Lastly, stay tuned for a post later this week on an addition to my daughter\u2019s room. Check one to-do off the list! <\/p>\n

Hope all your kidlets have a great first day back at school! (for those that are back this week.)  I\u2019m hoping to get back to more regular blogging! <\/p>\n
