A lot of buzz that night centred around the beautiful kitchen display by Kelly Deck and her fabulous team in collaboration with AyA Kitchens. With it's perfect mix of gold, marble, wood and stone it would be an understatement to say it was dream kitchen.
Saturday at the Convention Centre Tommy Smythe took the stage with his infectious passion for design and showed us how to bring any size space to it's full potential. With his wit and charm he had the audience captivated and of course very entertained.
That evening I attended BLEND, the blogger event sponsored by IKEA Canada, with some of the most talented designers/bloggers in Canada. We were joined by Suzanne Dimma and Mark Challen (of House & Home) and Tommy Smythe; needless to say I was a little "starstruck". The night was filled with plenty of delicious food, amazing company and wonderful door prizes.
Thank you to the fabulous women Victoria, Barbara, Karla, Nancy and Danielle who were all a part in organizing these events for us. I feel blessed to be apart of such an encouraging, inspiring and creative community. Looking forward to next year!
