Wonderful Wallpaper and Fabric.....

As I keep telling clients, wallpaper is back with a vengence and it is gorgeous!! We are also seeing the matching and coordinating fabrics - yes somewhat like the 80's but so much nicer and such a great variety. I have to share some of the wonderful delights from Thibaut. I am a fabric nut - love it!! I find it so inspirational and hope the photos below offer you some inspiration. I probably should have catetgorized these into 'brights', 'textured' and 'neutrals'; traditional and contemporary, but I just wanted to upload as many as I could for you to see - it is like being in a candy store to anyone interested in home decor. I just couldn't stop myself......



















keep drooling - there's more







































  













GTA West Shopping - Interior Works; Eden's Tile-it; Celadon & Willis

Summer is here and we still strive to find out all about wonderful products for our clients.  The most recent GTA West Chapter of CDECA events have been our 'summer sourcing days'.  We did visit some new showrooms and a couple of which are already affiliates of CDECA.  There is always new information to be had and a lot to learn in order to keep current in the decor industry and we love discovering new and up to date design/decor items and information.

Our first stop was Interior Works www.interiorworks.ca on Harvester Road in Burlington.

Here we are with Brenda Routery checking out all of the new quartz samples.  Both Brenda and Krista Salter offered many great options for designing the perfect kitchen or washroom.


We love to pose!



We then headed off to Edens Tile-It - www.tileit.ca on fairview in Burlington
They carry every type of flooring you could ever want - great showroom!
 Another group photo with owner Bill and designer Brenda

So much to see - we didn't want to leave - going back!!
These spectacular tiles were designed by the owner




Our next stop was Celadon   for art www.celadonart.com  on the North Service Road in Burlington

 Helene Zimmer with just some of the wonderful Art available at Celadon
Absolutely gorgeous frames

An interesting way to do a wall


Our final stop for a lunch and learn was our affiliate at Willis www.4willis.com who specialize in Corian and quartz.

Here are just a few samples of the many wonderful designs available.


My photos didn't catch just how beautiful this wall of samples were - you just have to go there and see them - it is well worth going!
