Spring is in the air....and so is Colour

Hooray for spring!  Love it!!  It gets us all in the mood for some home improvements and brightening up our spaces.  I feel energized to move forward with some great decorating projects and purchases to welcome spring and summer. In checking out the latest magazines there is a plethora of great ideas to get anyone in the mood. One thing there is plenty of is COLOUR....  I found most of these great samples at West Elm, Pottery Barn, Home Outfitters, Wicker Emporium and many more places.










Spring and Home Shows....

It's that time of year when we all break out of our winter hibernation and start to enjoy warmer weather and of course the variety of local home shows.  Last weekend Oakville had it's annual home show and it was full of great and wonderful products and information on everything you need to upgrade your home.  This booth which was put together with some creative thought,  including some decor items showed how on trend they are. Below is a photo of Karl French from Speers Road Broadloom, www.speersroadbroadloom.com and Joe Isabella the Territory Manager from Shaw Industries, www.shawfloors.com posing with a very unique piece. 

A student from Fanshawe College in London created the dress and jacket out of carpets that Karl supplied.  She got a very good grade for this project and won an award.  For an close up look of this fabulous project, drop into Speers Road Broadloom, Oakville.

One display in particular was the Speers Road Broadloom

Great Bathrooms.....

I love designing bathrooms and am constantly checking out what other designers are doing and flipping through decor magazines and websites.  The bathroom is one of the most renovated spaces today.  We are adding touches of luxury to make it a place to be rather than a place of plain utilitarianism.

Check out these.....And this is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak when it comes to finding fabulous bathroom designs.
