And here we are again! It’s Monday, the middle of October already! Hope you had a happy weekend!
I love this print by Yangyang Pan – the vibrant colours and composition are brilliant. I have recently commissioned her to create an original painting for one of my client’s and can’t wait to see it when it’s finished.
2) Last week, I attended a book signing at CB2 hosted by Style at Home with none other than Bob and Cortney Novogratz. Their latest book, “Home by Novogratz” features 20 homes that they have decorated so that you too can get the “Novogratz look.” Read my interview with them here and read more about the event and enter to win a copy of the book in Style at Home’s post here.
Yep, just a regular night hanging out with our besties. :) They were so charming and friendly and it was surprising to hear that even though they have lived in NYC for the past 20 years they have never visited Canada. 
This table, chairs and area rug are part of their collection with CB2.
3) That same night, we attended the opening of the FLOR Toronto store. FLOR creates 20” x 20” modular carpet tiles in all sorts of cool patterns and colours. You can arrange them to create one of a kind area rugs and runners. Here’s a fun photo of my girls and I at the photo booth – note the floor tiles in the background.
4) The winner of the $200 Paint it Like New Giveaway (chosen by random.org) is Michelle of Sweetsuite 10. Congrats! Please email me so that I can pass along the details to you. And please be sure to send me the Before and After!
Have a happy week everyone!
