Toronto 2016: Interior Design Show

Here are some snapshots from the eye-catching booths at IDS!

If this were my floor...

My friends and I had a nice chat with the rep for Jan Kath Carpets.

He told us that this rug was hand-woven using a photograph from the Hubble Space Telescope as the base pattern. Fun fact: Carrie Fisher has it in her living room!

Voting for Beauti-Tone's Paint Colour of the Year--I voted for the white. They were giving away free mini-can samples of the 4 colours in the running! Note the scalloped back wall made of paint can lids.

My friend Isa, who snapped this photo, and I were admiring this floor.

Toronto 2016: Loft

 I recently stayed at this lovely loft in Kensington Market, Toronto, with 7 of my fellow decor-enthusiast friends. We went to the Interior Design Show, which I will also be sharing pictures of, but first...the decorated lodging. 

We walked in and were swooning over the brick details, and photographing all the finishes. Ha!

It's super clean and welcoming! The price is incredible for what you get!

It's also in quite a central location, which is convenient. I highly recommend the place!

Delightfully Danish

My mom found this mid-century Danish chair at a thrift store for $5!

I love its wide seat, curved back, thin spindles, and tapered legs.

The patina is gorgeous.

It has its original spray coat of greyish white paint on its wooden form.

The bottom of the seat is stamped with this maker mark and features this instruction sticker in 3 languages.

Such a fun chair!

Thrifty Thonet

I found a Thonet style chair at Value Village for $7! 

This one could be from the '60s or '70s, going by the wear and tear. 

I love the gentle curves of the blonde wood, the caning (hole and all), and the fact that the chair is super lightweight!
