Kravet Seminar

As a member of CDECA I am lucky to be invited to many industry events so that I can be up to date on the latest products and thus be able to offer the best and latest to my clients.

Not only do  I get to view all these wonderful goodies, I am educated as well.  Recently Kravet kravetcanada.com invited CDECA members to an information seminar on their newest products and popular colour combinations.  There is nothing quite like fabric to get those creative juices flowing and Kravet has some of the very best to offer.

We were treated to a lovelly lunch followed by an education session, led by Helen Donovan, to get us thinking from both sides of the coin - that of the client and that of the designer/decorator.  Quite informative and enlightening.

Designer Night at Brentwood Classics

I can't believe it - once again it is the Designer Night at Brentwood. Classics.   http://www.brentwoodclassics.com/
Hard to believe a year has gone by since this great event.  The showroom has just had some changes and looks fabulous.  Guests enjoyed great food, cocktails lots of mingling & networking, fabulous door prizes while viewing the latest in their furniture lines including the ur_style collection shown in the all important eco fabrics. Brentwood offers a wide variety of Canadian Made furniture to suit all tastes while remaining environmentally responsible and proving that you can have it all. The guest speaker, Interior Designer Kimberly Seldon, joined forces with Brentwood a few years ago when she decided to design her own furniture line.  She insisted on Canadian made, excellent quality if she was to put her name on it and Brentwood definitely fits the bill.  Kimberly, whom we all know from her appearances on Cityline as well as her annual Spring European Flea Market in the Distillery District delivered a very informative and entertaining presentation.  Kimberly is an excellent speaker who is able to present facts while adding some good humour to the mix. Of course I had to have my photo with her and she graciously obliged. 

A very nice evening and I also enjoyed the goodie bag we received.  Thanks to everyone for planning such a lovely evening!
