This weekend’s adventure was extra fun as we added a new member to our design team. Rather than the just Laura and I visiting the Interior Design Show in Toronto we were joined by our new arrival, Anna. We thought it was a natural fit given her natural sense of aesthetic design and the fact that we couldn’t exactly leave her at home. When we arrived at the Metro Toronto Convention center we decided to escort little Anna around in her stroller. There were a few highlights for us at the show and we took some pictures of some interesting things we saw. So let me introduce all the members of our design team. 1. Anna Puopolo – the newest addition to our design team. She likes soft things and textures. Gets upset when things get soggy namely her own clothing (therefore best to stay away from water features.

Seeing that I planted over 700 bulbs around the property, this display might come in handy. 2. A Duo of Lovely Fireplaces We are always looking for new ways to warm space. We stumbled across these two fireplaces that we thought would be great for a cottage or a new home. Anna is already thinking of ways to incorporate one into her new room, while Laura is looking to integrate into into a potential new Master Bath. 3. When Form Runs Amok over Function The entire design team were aghast when we stumbled by this next display. This was the ultimate example of when ego ruins design. The booth...
