I was lucky enough to attend this year's Maison & Objet exhibition in Paris this month. It was awe inspiring to say the least. Building after building of beautiful product, enough to make my heart skip a few beats. Here are some key trends:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. <b><i>FUR</i></b> - faux fur, cowhide, sheepskin. Small 3 or 4 legged stools were everywhere, mostly in furs but also found in linens & burlaps.</div>

She's a fire bomb. A whole<i> lotta</i> personality & attitude wrapped up into a petite little body. I always knew the girl had mad style. She's designed home products, sourced, and bought home products so clearly she knows a thing or two. BUT little did I know she lives in the most spectacular townhouse I've ever seen in my life! Every inch of this home is perfectly pulled together. It is oozing with so much style it makes me nauseous. Her modern aesthetic is mixed with her Indian roots & as a result her home shows a truly inspiring eclectic mix.<br />
<br />
Her home confirmed to me even more that it's not about having a huge home but rather having a more manageable space that's furnished <b>beautifully</b>. And that having it all while being close to the city IS possible. I know who I will be calling on for decorating help!<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Well, they are right. Lighting brings a space together, anchors a space, and sets the mood. I call it "passion". If you know me, you know that I cherish the works of Serge Mouille the most. I am dreaming of the day I will own the famous armed pendant in my family home. Or, the sconces next to my bed... And mark my words, I WILL OWN an original. If I have to take out my TJX Stocks to buy it, that's what I will do.<br />
<br />
BUT, in this 700 square foot loft which is quickly making me claustrophobic, an inspired by version will do the trick. I gasped while visiting West Elm last week to find a reproduction on clearance for get this... $74! Brand new, in the box, and all mine for $74!!! It won't even break my heart to leave it behind when I sell!<br />
<br />
Let's drool a little at the works of Serge Mouille....<br />

While the schedule was um, hectic, I was thrilled with the on trend offerings coming from that market. India, known for its handicraft merchandise, blew me away with far improved quality, fashionable assortments & better attention to detail. The people were kind, respectful, and thankful.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3fleWQDSLyA?hl=en&fs=1" width="425"></iframe><br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It is eye opening to visit other countries through this job. To see a glimpse of this over populated land (India is #2 in population (next to China) and #7 in size) reminds me what a small Country I live in. We are #37th in population! It also reminds me of the luxuries we take for granted everyday. I am grateful that cows, donkeys & camels don't roam our streets. And while the traffic in TO can be frustrating, it is nothing in comparison to New Delhi jams. The honking in New Delhi & Jaipur made New York City seem quiet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Below are some images of factory workers creating merchandise. From hand loomed rugs, to hand painted table linens, to embellished pillows & poufs, and hand stitched embroidered chairs - the amount of work that goes into creating the beautiful products you buy for your home should not be taken for granted. There are less & less factory workers as the economy strengthens in India & people have better career opportunities (as in China). Handicraft may someday be a thing of the past, or at least will carry a very different price tag. For now, enjoy..... When you see the "handmade in India" price tag, know that it's worth more than "machine made" or "made in China".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I know. It's just I've found it difficult to find inspiration of late. Feel like my creative energy is all being used up at work. Spent a few days in Boston last week, and visited a store I'd not been to before - <a href="http://www.arhaus.com/">Arhaus</a> - and fell in love. Arhaus is a furniture/home decor chain found across the USA. I must say, they would fit right into the Canadian market. The aesthetic ranged from updated traditional to modern, and even rustic. All merchandised with trend right accessories, and an eclectic feel. You could furnish your entire home there, trust me. Some of my faves:<br />

I loved these little ceramic birds. Each one unique. The tag noted the artist as <a href="http://www.thesegraydays.com/">These Gray Days</a> so I took note & checked out their website to find out that they are a creative Canadian company based out of Vancouver. I then searched Anthropologie's site regretting not having grabbed one of these, and they're not available online. I suspect these were a unique buy for that store only. I am SO kicking myself for convincing myself I didn't need it.<br />

While at the High Point show in North Carolina a few weeks ago I came across a company called "Bungalow 5". The collection is designed by a group of designers & architects in New York.

Bad. Blogger.I apologize for not being inspired enough to blog of late. The last few months have been heavy travel months - from Atlanta, Dallas, Hong Kong, the Philippines & then vacation in Aruba. It's no excuse. I love to blog & intend to get back on track. <br />
<br />
There was no lack of good finds at HomeSense stores this week. I am not being biased because I work for this fantastic chain, there are truly some fantastic pieces out there. Specifically I was at HomeSense Clarkson & Heartland Centre on Thursday & I could truly have furnished/decorated an entire house! God I wished I was an Interior Decorator Thursday more than ever. Great quality, unbelievable values, and on trend fashion! From Industrial looks to Shabby Chic to classic pieces, there was something I loved in every area of the store. Have a peak at my faves! Also did HomeSense Sherway last night & was stopped in my tracks by a new collection of stunning solid wood, ultra modern pieces. I had to buy a piece!<br />

I've seen more friends this week than I generally do in months! Much of my joy over the Holidays comes with the Christmas decor. For my 1st Christmas in my loft, I chose not to have a tree. Too much of a reminder of years passed with my ex. Instead, I added some festive touches throughout the home. I hung some pretty ornaments off my dining room pendant, and also had them piled up in my <i>Sophie Conran </i>ice bucket. Brought in some birch logs & hung some disco balls & a jewelled owl off of them, grabbed a cute spiky modern tabletop tree from HomeSense, and added some greenery touches with a small cedar tree & poinsettia.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Love the distressed gray leather & studs (duh!). Feel like it's a classic - so I would always be able find a corner for it in my next house somewhere.. It's the expensive one (surprise, surprise).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Love the shape & how it would add drama to the space! Not in love with the light colored fabric. In love with the price tag (the only budget friendly option on my list). I suppose for this price, who cares about the fabric it's disposable!</span><br />

I see pictures of all white spaces & drool. Then I see just as impressive pics of mixed patterns/colors & am equally in love. I have tried the neutral home but always fail & eventually bring in color. Not a ton of color, but some. Trends report neutrals are coming back on strong going into 2011.<br />

A quick stop to Elte today & my heart stopped at the entrance (what's new?) when I saw this traditional, knit wool-like ottoman. I am not generally drawn to traditional spaces, but this particular space felt so warm & cozy and I fell in love. The picture doesn't do it justice; its texture is perfect. The casual sofa & dramatic chandelier score big points. <br />

Including the bathroom. <br />
<br />
It seems I can talk myself out of the gym with just about <i>any</i> excuse. It's like I've pressed the "self destruct" button - I cannot get motivated. It's so dark outside, chilly... and I have dim lighting in my bathroom. This means - hot bath, dim lights, wine.<br />
<br />
I even stuck myself a motivational note on the bathroom mirror (a la Josie College Days), but I can't fight the comforting thoughts of relaxation, wine, and solitude. I'm going to have to start dating soon. Surely the thought of some hot guy seeing me naked should be enough to get me moving. You would think?<br />

Turns out it wasn't on order anyway. After seeing it again at DWR over the weekend, I realized that the Eames Rocker I <i>really </i>want is the one manufactured in the 50's. The one with the strong fiberglass shell that shows all that wear & tear. I've been obsessing (shocker, I know) & checking Ebay daily. Sadly those 50's rockers are going for a pretty penny, and many of the listings I see don't want to ship International.... I WILL have a vintage 50's Eames rocker someday, but for now the hunt for an occasional chair is on. <br />
<br />
My living room is very small, and can only accommodate a <i>slim</i> proportioned chair. This is why one designed in the 50's is perfect as furniture was much smaller scale back then. My toss up is mid century modern mix of upholstery with wood, or a more traditional but clean lined wing chair. And then, there's always the classic wooden Cherner chair which I know is just p-e-r-f-e-ct. Reminder.<br />
<br />

Perhaps slightly too deep, the Carmichael chair by Style Garage is also a fave. I enjoy the architectural lines, the tapered leg & of course the mid century feel. I especially like that it's by the folks at Style Garage, whom I used to work with (& adored) when I was a buyer for Caban.<br />

I am only obsessing about storage ideas & finally contacted a company named space solutions. (www.spacesolutions.ca) They will come on the 30th & look at the space, discuss ideas with me & (gasp) provide a quote. I want some cabinetry in the bathroom for linens, built in storage in the bedroom, and built in bookcases above the living room window. <br />

Off to the High Point show in Greensboro, North Carolina. Have a great week!<br />

I chose a simple black thin custom frame, and decided I would use it in my dining area since the black & white helped balance the busy wallpaper. My dream was to find a pair of original paintings to balance each wall, but the reality is that I have bigger $$$ projects still to do in this place. Paintings may need to wait for the next house.<br />

My girlfriend Julia & her +6 month old stayed with me Friday night, and it was interesting... Within 5 minutes of being on my rug Evan threw up on it. Yikes! Shortly after, I look back to see him stuck under the sofa. And when it came to sleeping quarters, the playpen <i>just</i> fit into my teeny bedroom. I've got some work to do if I intend on having my nephew or niece ever stay with me here. More likely I'll be babysitting them in <i>their</i> own home, as clearly this tiny space is meant for 1.<br />
