With the arrival of Spring comes the arrival of all things soft and soothing.  And what else is more soothing and Easter-themed  than a beautiful pastel color palette?  Nowadays, many are opting for darker shades in home decor; however today I'd like to showcase some perfect pastels.  While bold colors are trending, it's safe to say that pastel shades will always be classic!

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us here at Home and Garden Events! A lot of people think that Valentine's Day is about giving flowers, chocolates, and jewellery, and while those gifts are very pleasant, today should be about spending time with loved ones.

So today we're asking you, out of these two spaces, which space would you choose to spend time with your loved ones?  Space A, with the romantic reds and navy blues? Or Space B, the turquoise and yellow dream?

Which one did we choose?



We love the cozy and elegant feeling of space A (source).

Do you agree with our pick?

Please, let us know your choice below!

Yellow is a very bold and drastic color, however, it is also quite warm and cheery.  While not everybody may be willing to design their whole room around this one color, adding small touches of yellow can still pack a beautiful punch! Below are some of my favorites:

To spark some creativity this morning, I'm showing you some fabulous ideas for accent walls!  When you've got a space that deserves special attention, why not emphasize the area by painting or decorating it differently from the adjacent walls?  Initially this may seem a little crazy, but it's a lot more common than you think.

The Indianapolis Home Show and Fischer Homes recently got a look at what the vision is for the interior design of the Centerpiece Home at the 2013 Indianapolis Home Show.



Joy Perkins from Touch of Class presented her ideas for what her team will be working on inside the Nottoway, the home design with a French Country elevation being constructed by Fischer Homes.


From a two-sided fireplace in the foyer to vintage wine barrels and chestnut leather chairs, Joy plans to create a “Rustic Luxe” theme throughout the home. She will be using weathered woods along with black coffee and natural wood tones with metal accents.


She gave us a view into her vision with presentation boards for both the first and second floors of the Nottoway home. The boards included samples of materials and swatches of colors she plans to use in her designs. Check out Joy’s presentation boards!

Who Attends The Show?

Feeling inspired from all the sights at this year’s Vancouver Home + Design Show, I recently embarked on my own home renovation project.  Actually, that’s not totally true – I “embarked” on this project quite some time ago but not until recently has it (finally!) been completed. With the help of Kelly Golby Real Estate Services who shared my vision of renovating with resale in mind, I was able to find the perfect blank canvas – a beauty of a townhouse whose bare walls and generic finishings practically screamed “potential”! I decided to keep the space bright, minimalist and modern, adding small touches of character that, together, make a big impact.
