Hi there! Happy Friday!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just wanted to let you know that I\u2019m featured in an article in the Toronto Star online.  So fun to see my living room on their home page and mentioned next to Debbie Travis and Colin & Justin. You can read it here<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"yourhome.ca\"<\/a> <\/div>\n

I also have a little mention with some other fab bloggers in the latest issue of Dabble magazine.  It\u2019s on one of my favourite design projects \u2013 bathrooms. You can read the entire issue here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"dabble\"

If you can\u2019t read it, I say \u201cIf you share the bathroom with your spouse\/partner, two sinks are mandatory.\u201d If you have the space of course – don\u2019t you agree?<\/p>\n

This week, there were a number of fun events to attend. The first was an event hosted by DIY expert and friend Sarah Gunn<\/a> of the Yummy Mummy Club.  We all experienced an Oprah moment when we took home a Brother all-in-one colour printer<\/a>. It even prints 11×17 and I can\u2019t wait to use it.  Thanks Brother!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Then, I attended an event at Decor-Rest<\/a> with a presentation by Para Paints<\/a> as well. I love both of these companies and was happy to hear what\u2019s new with both.  My luck continued as I also won a chair!  I have no idea where I will put it, but isn\u2019t she pretty? It would be a great end chair for a dining table.<\/p>\n

\"DecorRest

Oh, and the Home Depot Canada has launched special holiday collections<\/a> from Martha Stewart Living.  There are three different collections  \u2013 Winterberry, Arctic and Celebrate.  They sent me some ornaments from their Celebrate collection which are golds and bronze and will look perfect on our tree. Below is a pic of their Winterberry collection.<\/p>\n

\"Winterberry

That\u2019s it for now!  Sorry I haven\u2019t been blogging much lately.  You know how it is, right? Please stick around though because I will have some client projects to share over the coming weeks\/months. And I can\u2019t wait to share our newly decorated den \u2013 just waiting for it to be published online first!<\/p>\n

Have a happy weekend!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
