IDSwest

So if you read my blog at all then you know how much I adore Sarah Richardson (aka designer extraordinaire).  I knew she and Tommy (aka design sidekick) were coming to the IDSwest and I knew that I had to be there to see them in action.  They mostly answered design questions from the audience and talked about their new shows starting soon on HGTV.  Sarah is working on a new Sarah's House that will feature a typical home you would find in a subdivision.  Her other show called Design 101 starts in January.  Lucky people in the Toronto area submitted a room they wanted redone through Sarah's website.  It it will focus on how to get the room you love on a budget.  Looking forward to both shows!

Of course I was also there looking for new and interesting products and let me tell you there was so much eye candy I just kept snapping pictures.

Loved this display, I'm a sucker for anything blue!


I am a big fan of The Cross in Vancouver.  They have such beautiful things and their booth did not disappoint.



The Cross media lounge


Look at that funky wallpaper!


I was really impressed with the Ikea booth. It was so eye catching with those pendant lights.


I am a sucker for stone tile and I found some gorgeous patterns.








I loved these little plants, aren't they cute?


Bathroom tubs have become so sculptural, this tub came with crome or wood legs.  So cool.


I found these great poofs, they would add some great texture to any space.


I thought these tables were so unique!
