House & Home Shows Off
Lynda Reeves and the Canadian House & Home team have poured their design and decorating talents into an Oakville, Ontario showhouse, the grand prize in this year's Princess Margaret Hospital Sweepstakes. One extraordinarily lucky winner will claim the house and contents valued at approximately $3.5 million. Talk about sitting pretty! The 5,665 sq. ft. house is free to tour until November 18 if you're game for a pleasant fall drive.

It rained for last year's tour making for a sloppy and humid trek through the cobbled streets but Sunday's weather forecast promises a much finer afternoon.
JLT Showhouse Revealed
Thursday, September 10, 2009
There were lots of fantastic spaces at this year's JLT Showhouse but the two rooms that stand out most in my mind are Brian Gluckstein's study and Kimberly Seldon's master suite.

The space was a study (sorry) in contrasts between dark and light, masculine and feminine.
