We get lots of invitations at home & Home: new stores, product launches, gallery openings. We go to as lots of as we can capture in, however there’s one event I’d never turn down: an invitation to Lynda’s home (not pictured). I was there last week to celebrate the upcoming wedding event of editor Suzanne Dimma.
I like Lynda’s front hall, with its dramatic black walls as well as black-and-white stone floors with a shocking orange bombe breast (you’ll see it in the November issue). Her hardwood appears like it was washed with buckets of espresso for a hundred years, with a lighter inlay tracing around the edges. What always strikes me about the living space (besides that the furniture plan modifications whenever I visit!) are the pools of light. Lynda doesn’t have a single potlight. Instead, her spaces glow with warmth from the a lot of terrific lamps. I left wanting to rip out every recessed halogen I paid a ton of money to have installed in our living room!
If you admire Lynda’s taste, too, as well as a walk with her living space isn’t in the cards, choose the next finest thing. Take a excursion of the 2009 showhouse (shown in all these photos) created as well as completely embellished by her as well as the H&H team. It’s a dream house in Oakville, Ontario that will be raffled off as one of the grand prizes in the Princess Margaret healthcare facility foundation Sweepstakes. (Proceeds of the lottery assist Princess Margaret healthcare facility accelerate research study as well as equate scientific discoveries into much better methods to prevent, diagnose as well as treat cancer.) There are lots of methods you can get in on the action:
