Dispatches from Toronto: Studio North at IDS

Brothers Dressler installation featuring custom light fixtures.

I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days at the Interior Design Show (IDS) this week and I left each day feeling super inspired. My favourite part of the show was the Studio North exhibit which supports the independent design scene. There were 60 Canadian and international designers each featuring one offs and custom collections.

Carroll Street Studio exhibit highlighting their Wharton collection made from salvaged fir and walnut.

Atelier 688 exhibit featuring their original Manila rope lights and Contact Voyaging Co's paddles.

Atelier des Cent-ans exhibit highlighting their furniture and porcelain objects.

The designers in the Studio North section of IDS are full of creative and unique ideas. My favourite item? That painted cherry branch from Carroll Street Studio!

In the February issue (on newstands tomorrow - January 28th) of The Wall Street Journal Magazine reporter Rita Konig visits Palazzo Margherita, Francis Ford Coppola's new hotel in his family's Italian hometown, Bernalda.  With the help of French interior designer Jacques Grange, the award-winning director transformed a 19th century palazzo in Southern Italy into a grand hotel with the romance and sophistication of the Belle Epoque. Each Coppola family member contributed to the design to their bedrooms resulting in a combination of grand hotel and comforting family home. Aren't the floors stunning?  WSJ. Magazine's February issue will be available in the weekend Journal (tomorrow) and is the first ever glimpse of this exquisite hotel. The full article—and issueis also online at WSJMagazine.com.

Real Wedding No. 4: Elizabeth + Dan

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 12:02 PM PST


Love this cute vintage-inspired wedding out of the Pacific Northwest (Tacoma) of Dan and Libby (Elizabeth) that caught my eye this week via their photographer Sarah of Arrow & Apple.  The handmade and vintage aspects are adorable from their Winnebago, Libby's dress (she wore her mother's), the tassels, and candy apples. Their beautiful invitations, the yellow bridesmaids dresses (and cake), the guy's suspenders and their getaway car!  See more picutres at Arrow & Apple and be sure to check out Libby's blog Delightfully Tacky (it's a treat in itself)!  Psssst!  Just got word Arrow & Apple is having a wedding photography package giveaway on their blog!  Check it out!
