Pegboard, The Best $20 I Ever Spent!
Our newly tidy and organized laundry room/tool station may not look like much to you but to us it's a revelation. I had never used pegboard before but I honestly cannot believe the difference $20 and a couple of hours can make. The actual pegboard only cost a tenner and the pegs were another $10. And now, instead of pawing through a mess of bags and rags and rooting through two over-stuffed tool boxes, I can instantly find what I seek.
Addicted to Beauty: At Home With Kevin
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
Kevin is one of the best stylists I’ve met. He sometimes works with Leslie Zysman at Toronto’s Eclectisaurus, which is how I discovered the undeniable force of his talent.

But I’m thrilled to report that this not so pretty state of affairs is a thing of the past thanks to one stunning purchase . . .
Inspiration: Green Tea Design
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
I toured Toronto’s Green Tea Design (388 Carlaw Street, Suite 200) with the intention of doing a shop review and pointing to their seasonal inventory sale (on now!) but honestly, I was so dazzled by the space, the light and the beautifully styled, 5,000 sq. ft. showroom that I just have to slug this “inspiration” [...]
