With summer sadly coming to a close our attention goes from white to winter white. While the days of white pants after labor day (or September long) in the North are not SO taboo anymore, some brilliant marketing person devised the term "winter white". Whether you're down with the lingo the difference between summer and winter white is simply the brightness; winter white is softer, and [...]

Nice right? We just want to sweep our hands across it... And then there's this vintage grandma twist ... euro chic for sure! Straight from [...]
It was hard to miss chatter about the movie 'The Intern' last week. From the Writer/Director of other movies we adore (It's Complicated, the Holiday and Something's Gotta Give), the flick based around an online fashion website run by a young, career-driven woman (Anne Hathaway) hiring an intern sounds familiar, until a retired successful business owner and widower (Robert DeNiro) lands this senior (?) position.

We begin this week in Calgary, Alberta (or Western Canada for those who don't know where that is). Designer Leanne Bunnell was tasked with creating an elegant traditional living & dining space, comfortable for everyday, but also suitable for formal entertaining. When Leanne first saw the space her first reaction was "Wow. Can we move the fireplace?” Totally builder brilliant move - at the foot of the staircase! Given the [...]

We've been using the same favorites forever so thought it was about time we branch out. We turned to Benjamin Moore obsessed Colour Explosions color consultant Sarah Bertie to get [...]
