Peter Fallico

Sometimes I feel like Canadian HGTV has way better designers and shows than the US channel (i.e. Sarah Richardson and Samantha Pynn). Peter Fallico is a designer in Toronto and here is an amazing house he renovated for Canadian HGTV show, "Home to Flip".

The EDLAND

I was at IKEA this weekend picking up a few things for a client. I stopped by the As Is section and saw an EDLAND dresser in pretty much perfect condition. Regularly $199, on sale for $125.

Edland

As you may know, IKEA's As Is section is a bit of a war zone. I quickly marked my territory by parking my cart right next to the dresser and setting my purse on top of it. As I waited for a text from my client to see if she wanted it I was accosted by fellow shoppers eyeing my dresser. Several of which did not hide their annoyance that I was stubbornly refusing to move. The good news is, the dresser was eventually mine.

Here are some other things we have in store for this room.

DIY Trellis Mirror

One of my readers, Anne, was inspired by this picture from my post back in September.

She decided to make a similar mirror to hang above her sofa.
