If you’re going for the high end look but your budget is Ikea, spruce it up with some colourful hand-crafted cushions from Australian designer Megan Park?

We love her too ….and she’s back with Tommy tonight for Season 3 of Sarah’s house - this time tackling the north sans the boats, floats and Bay. Making rubber boots and straw hats looking ever so cool, they’ve headed up to what we’re guessing to be Creemore, ON to buy the farm - literally!
On a mission to prove you can get much more house for the dollar outside the city limits, it’s sure to be a juicy opener. Catch it at 9pm ET/PT on the TV or from the webstream @ hgtv.ca/sarahshouse
In the spirit of a successful reno and alot of laughs in the process, we’re giving away $1,000 in Style Files to help you get in the mindset!
After the shows over, grab your camera, snap your room and head to your computer instead. You will be instantly connected to one of our Virtual Stylists, who will create an electronic portfolio of design ideas just for you. It’s a lifeline like no other; from what to do and where to get it, your Style File will detail colour, layout, furniture recommendations, insider tips and even a shopping list no matter where you live.
To win tell us Tommy’s Sister name and the fabulous fashion line she co-founded.
Clue: Yes, Rachel Bilson was spotted in one at #van2010!

I just came across a FABULOUS lucite trunk and was so not surprised to see the name on it - one Mr Serge De Troyer. I had the pleasure of meeting him two plus years ago on a showroom floor in my travels, and he’s one of the many i’ve been meaning to circle back and check in with. Seems I have just a wee bit more motivation to head for his headquarters in Miami now!

Definitely want one; only decision is whether to leave it empty, sprinkle in a few pine cones or a beautiful cashmere blanket or two! ?Yes, it’s winter up here indeed.
Quick update to draw your attention to a really cool experience that our Charlotte Correspondent Traci Zeller is off on - to Hickory Chair University. Find out more here but follow her on twitter @tracizeller for the play-by-play.

I vividly remember the first recording of this song and how much I loved it, but it’s days like today when you reflect on the past 20 years and watch your whole world become irrelevant…who cares about this couch, that couch, this line, that store and all the materials choices we make as a result.
Today, it’s about unity, helping one another, being alive and having a roof over our heads. All it takes to remind us - We Are the World - for Haiti. From our house to yours …it’s love all the way.
We had to share a post we found on Urban Style Vibes, only due to the fact we met Dutch Design Marcel Wanders at the IDS10 launch party in November and hadn’t seen any of his recent works.
This villa located in Mallorca, named Casa Son Vido, was recently reno’d by T. Architects and Marcel took over to create an interior of contrast.
Pretty cool, however all we will think of when we think of Marcel is a pearl necklace. When asked why he religiously wears one his response was “more men should.” Fabulous branding if you ask us!
Jump over to Lise’s blog to see more.
And I suppose we should mention (albeit in advance of the formal announcement) that Lise is the new Remote Stylist Correspondent out of the Netherlands. Her formal intro coming shortly …
