I Want This House!!!

Does anyone know who owns this Peterborough home? If you do, please let the current owners know that they should move out and give someone else the opportunity to live in this perfectly sweet little house. That someone else, of course, would be me. Thanks for your help!

The Morning After

St. Patrick's Day is not just a day for green clothing, green milkshakes, green hair, and green beer. It's also a great day to show off your green (in more ways than one) LED lighting. Last night Toronto's CN Tower joined the party, turning green for the evening:

I hope everyone has a great "Morning After St. Patrick's Day"!!

Sarah's House 3 Episode 2

This week on Sarah's House 3, Sarah tackled the guest bedrooms on the second floor, naming them the West bedroom and the North bedroom. For both rooms, the inspiration for colour scheme came from the boldly printed fabrics. What's my favourite item this week? Hands down it's the upholstered headboard in the West bedroom with nailhead detail!

Bedding at The Bay Flagship

Searching for new bed linens? You may be pleasantly surprised to see what The Bay has to offer. I visited the Toronto flagship store on Sunday afternoon, and I was impressed with the improvement in selection, service and overall presentation throughout the bedding department. Check this out: The sales staff were attentive and friendly, displays were pristine, and the linens were very well organized. Thank you, Bonnie Brooks and team!

I'm about to share a little secret with you: One of the best things about shopping at The Bay downtown at Queen & Yonge is pausing for refreshment at the City View Cafe on the 8th floor. To get there, take the west set of escalators up as far as the seventh floor, pass through the carpet department and then ascend one final escalator to the 8th floor cafe. I learned of City View while working at Simpson's during my college co-op, and although the weekdays see a steady stream of store employees, you can always get a window seat with a view on weekends:
