Not Just Pink...HOT PINK

This Thursday, May 27th, CP24 in Toronto is inviting their viewers to "Wear It Pink". The television station will be hosting a BBQ in the parking lot of their studios at 299 Queen Street West. All proceeds raised during this event will support The Weekend to Women's Cancers.

To show my support, I've assembled an homage to Hot Pink. There's nothing like a dash of fuschia to brighten your day and your home!!!

All Most Antiques

All Most Antiques is located at 1114 Queen Street East, just east of Pape. According to Sam, the store's owner, it's time for him to get out of the business and spend more time traveling the globe. What does that mean for his customers? It means that Sam is now clearing all remaining merchandise, and there are some nice pieces to be had...just make an offer!!!

Sarah Richardson Teams Up With Para Paints

It was only a matter of time before Sarah Richardson would launch her own line of paints, and now you can select from 75 of Sarah's favourite colours, developed with Para Paints and available exclusively through Lowe's Canada. Sarah used Para Paints throughout the renovation of Sarah's House 3, and if you liked what you saw, you can now paint your own home in the same colours!

Wheat Sheaf Motif

While innocently browsing on ebay yesterday, I stumbled upon this vintage french brass wheat sheaf candle sconce. Before I could stop myself, I made an offer and won!! Please just don't ask me where I'm going to put it.


The wheat sheaf motif has returned to vogue in home decor recently. Check out this pair of brass sconces in the foyer of Antonia Thompson's New York City apartment:

Antonia also selected this end table with a wheat sheaf base for the living room:
