Toronto Home Show, Sears Dream Home












Here are some pics from the Dream Home at the Toronto Home Show.  Some really nice window coverings and also colour choices.  All soft window coverings which are quite a change from the blinds that seem to be in such demand.  We had a lot of positive feedback.  I really think the drapery and soft coverings just add softness and warmth to the space.  But I am a fabric girl!  Taupe and Grey seem to be the new neutrals throughout the show this year compared to the Benjamin Moore Shaker Beige and Lenox Tan from last year that seemed to be the only colours that were showcased in every booth.  Just a nice updated look, still soft and neutral but a little different. 

Toronto Home Show




The Toronto Home Show wrapped last weekend and I really have to say that the Sears Home booth looked fantastic. 

We did some beautiful striped silk, goblet pleated drapes that were so yummy, they looked just like a ball gown when they were hanging on the rod. 

The custom bed was also done in silk with several pillows and a button tufted bench at the foot of the bead.  Absolutely stunning and looked elegant and welcoming at the same time. 

The femanin ottoman was button tufted, skirted and fringed and looked so pretty and was flanked in pinch pleated drapes and a fabric roman. 

There was a dramatic soft cornice with drapes and pillow accents. 

It really showcased all the fantastic fabrics that we work with everyday, and several people I spoke to said they didn't realize that Sears had such beautiful modern fabrics in there custom drapery. 

Mary Dobson and Emmanuel Belliveau were there to speak to customers and offer advise.  It really was a great show. 

Looking forward to next year.
