A few highlights from the Interior Design Show in Toronto


What happens when you pair talented design siblings and ask them to create a space? You get fun, colorful and creative rooms. Take a peak at these rooms from the 2011 Interior Design Show in Toronto which were created by the talented design teams of: Thien & My Ta Trung, David & Glenn Dixon, Sarah & Theo Richardson and Jason & Lars Dressler.

The shadows cast on the interior walls were created by hundreds of white paper cranes which were 
suspended from the ceiling.

There were beautiful flowers everywhere at the show.


As well as the Sibling Revelry spaces, there were many other beautiful displays. 

I love the graphic appeal of using a flag as artwork. The crystal chandelier, white flowers and green Fireking china in this display were a perfect counterpoint to the oversized red, white and blue flag. British designer Timothy Oulton for UpCountry.



This is where my photography gets a bit sketchy, but I had to show you this Ikea kitchen because it was such a standout for its clever use of inexpensive lighting. Above the dark wood-toned Ikea kitchen, the designer hung a large collection of white paper shades to great effect.

There was everything from china to pillows at the show. Pillows: Lily Yung

This display was part of the Style at Home magazine booth.

  4. Jennifer, many thanks for the shout out. I'm so glad you enjoyed the show. I loved seeing the photos of so many exhibits in your post. As you can imagine I've been hearing about the show non-stop this past week but as I didn't go to Toronto myself I've only been able to imagine what the exhibits must look like. Your photography brought the whole thing to life.

  6. Jennifer all of the rooms and decor are scrumptious ! but that blue room really wowed me .. it is the intensity of the blue (plus the polar bear theme in the art work ? LOL) .. It can generate a lot of ideas for our own homes on a more simple level .. something we can afford and do ourselves with our own personal tough but "kicked up a few notches ?" LOL
    Very nice !
    Joy : )
    BIG storm predicted for today . watch out girl!
