Where I'd like to...

Entertain with a holiday party.
This chic room is the perfect blend of classic and contemporary. I love a well edited mix of furniture, lighting and art. I envision this home being used for gatherings not lounging. That gorgeous piano is just waiting for a musician. I've been putting off subscribing to Canadian House and Home {i guess I'm spoiled by the $12 yearly sub. rates in the U.S.} but this magazine would be the perfect replacement for the much-missed Domino. {what a great birthday gift..hint hint..to my relatives}

    If you enjoy Canadian House & Home, try the Canadian Style at Home. I look forward to receiving it in the mail every month... well worth the subscription price!

    Wow, what a great room! I love when modern is mixed well with traditional- so funky yet classic. Like that over-sized drum shade a lot.
    So Canadian House and Home is a good one? Good to know.

    So worth the price!! And can you really put a price on the happiness you get from opening a fabulous new magazine? Except for Vogue Living which is over $80 a year for 6 issues!!

    I always lean more towards modern design as oppose to classic. But sometimes I do enjoy the warmth of classic design. Great design, but a warmer color tone would help accentuate it much more.

    I have to have that floor lamp! Does anyone know what the style is called or where I might be able to find one? Thank you!
