14 Websites that will change the way you live: Real Living Magazine

Hello Australia! We're thrilled to be featured in Real Living Magazine (out of that beautiful country down under) in an article that they've written on "14 websites that will change the way you live". Thanks to Hana and all the staff there for including us (we're totally honoured, stoked and stoked!) A HUGE thank you to Lisa Congdon, who's beautiful home we featured in our blog last year (in a collecting post) who supplied the beautiful images and Jill Rosenwald's lamps to represent us! This blog would not be what it is, without the beautiful designs, displays, photographs, art that all you creative people make, and we'll never forget that! Thank you all for allowing us to feature you and your work. Other blogs featured in the article is Desire to Inspire, Design Sponge, Apartment Therapy, Bloesem and more! We haven't seen the spread officially yet, but Desire to Inspire has it up on their flickr here (where we got these from) if you'd like to take a look! (And it's summer there - so hard to imagine as we still are trying to dig ourselves out here)!

style files, canadian house & home

Thanks to Canadian House and Home (and specifically, Style Files Editor, Kimberley Brown) for mentioning us in their latest trends issue (January '09)! The Style Files section features four Canadain Design blogs the magazine lists as their favourites. We are truly honoured to be included and are mentioned along with Ottawa's Desire to Inspire, Montreal's Lake Jane, and Toronto's Arren Williams. In the article it lists our favourite shopping places, Canadian artisans along with our "Look for 2009".

Local photographer Janis Nicolay took the photo of my portrait and also took a few pictures around our home office. She sent us a few vignettes to show here. Janis' portfolio is really impressive and worth a look. Click here to see more!

The House and Home January Trends issue will be out in stands on the 15th of December.
