ELTE | THE DOOR STORE | STONE-TILE | SECOLITE | UNION LIGHTING | DESIGNER FABRICS

I had a fabulous day!! My long time friend and associate spent the day visiting various design spots in Toronto. Our first stop was Designer Fabrics on Queen St. You can really spend the entire day there. We didn't want to leave. Both of us are crazy over textiles!! Thousands and thousands of unbelievable fabrics, notions, drapery accessories etc. Best prices in town.

Next stop was the The Door Store, then Stone-Tile, Sescolite Lighting, Union Lighting and Furnishings and Elte. Of course, Elte never disappoints. The rug department is second to none. If you can't find a rug at Elte, you will not find a rug anywhere!! Not to mention, thousands of square feet of exquisite furnishings and accessories. We stopped at the ELTE Café while there and had a very, very enjoyable lunch.

It was my perfect day. I LOVE BEING A DESIGNER!!!

Do yourself a favour and visit the ELTE Rug Department!! Just AMAZING!!!!!

I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

IDS 2012 | INTERIOR DESIGN SHOW

I have just returned from the Interior Design Show at the Metro Convention Centre in Toronto. Fantastic show!! So many new products and ideas. The overwhelming theme that I feel came through loud and clear was - innovative small space living. There was an emphasis on how to live large in a small space. Some of the ideas and products were absolutely mind blowing, not to mention highly creative. There was even a booth call How do you Live? Designers used recycled shipping containers and made them into living spaces all decorated differently. Again brilliant and very creative.

Here are a few pictures that I snapped of some of the various booths.
