    Posted on Monday December 7th, 2009 at 06:24 in vintage, value, toronto, fabric, accessories, Heads Up, shops

    On Saturday Mike and I got the chance to play tourist in our own town by taking a gallery tour of West Queen West with the inimitable Betty Ann Jordan, a local art writer and flâneur extraordinaire. It was a brilliant afternoon. Near the end of our ...

  • Decor Dilemma: IKEA Snobbery

    Posted on Saturday December 5th, 2009 at 07:33 in craigslist, ikea, design classics, décor dilemma

    My IKEA snobbery knows no bounds. The prejudice was brought home to me this morning while surfing Craigslist and clicking through on an ad for the potentially cool lounge chair above ($150); the second I saw it was from IKEA I said, "pass". Nevermind...

  • Waddington’s: A Feast of Blue & White

I came from Apartmentthereapy.com and was so happy to find a Canadian based design blog! YAY!
I went thru all of the posts, and am very much impressed. I really do hope that they expand to hit upon the other provincial capitals, as that would make it all encompassing.
Great job guys! Keep it up.
