One of my favorite things that have come about because of my blog has been my friendship with interior designer Tommy Smythe.  I used to watch him on Design Inc. with Sarah Richardson and literally laugh out loud at all his funny quips.  Now I get to experience them in person and this time on […]

There’s that joke that David Hasselhoff is really big in Europe.  Well, I don’t joke when I say I’m really big in Canada.  I love my loyal readers to the north and can’t wait to visit Toronto this week.  Besides my conversation with Tommy Smythe and book signing at Indigo Books, I look forward to […]

While my obsession with Joe Fresh continues, why not take a look at their home in Toronto, Canada.  It was published in the August 2010 issue of Canadian House & Home magazine, one of the best shelter magazines still around.  I love that Kimberly and Joe Mimran kept it more on the modern and minimal […]

New Yorkers decorate the outside of their townhouses and apartment buildings as best they can but it’s just not the same as a real house.  This one that I came across from Canadian House & Home is especially festive.  I love that all the decorations are natural which are perfect for the outside house covered […]

I’m busy working today so I decided to post a chic repeat.  I love this space so much that I wanted to post it again anyway. As I continue decorating my own apartment it’s been very inspiring.  It was featured in Canadian House & Home in December 2008 and still looks just as good today.  […]

I came across photos of one of my favorite living rooms recently.  I absolutely love the mix of the French style sofa with light wood trim, gilt mirror, shiny black piano, modern Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chaise, and Fortuny lamp.  It’s the perfect example of how you shouldn’t be afraid to mix things that […]

You’d probably be surprised to learn that the owner of the traditional home I wrote about in my last post also owns this modern loft in Montreal.  Of course, she filled it with more of her fabulous French furniture so you barely notice that there are no architectural details.  Another example of thinking outside the white […]

When I was looking for examples of holiday decorating last week, I came across this elegant example.  The home is owned by a Canadian lawyer, Luce Gayrard, who also has a penchant for decorating.  It is located outside Montreal and was featured in the November 2008 issue of Canadian House & Home. I never met a French piece […]

I’ve been reading Canadian House & Home for over a year and can’t get enough.  It’s filled the void left by Domino and always features unique and interesting interiors.  So, I was beyond honored when they asked to interview for the October 2010 issue!  My issue hasn’t arrived yet but it has already come out […]

I just returned from LA last night and am in the process of downloading all my photos of the wonderful places I visited and people I met. Until those posts are ready, I’m directing you to a photo gallery of my favorite inspiring interiors at Canadian House & Home. I was very honored to be […]

While there may be a dearth of American Shelter magazines, the foreign options just keep getting better and better. I was very excited to receive my new subscription to Canadian House & Home magazine this week and also to see Thomas Smyth’s home featured in their City Living section. If you happen to watch Design, […]
