July Sourcing Day

On July 17th, the GTA West headed to Designers Walk, http://www.designerswalk.com/ in Toronto.  Even though the weather was extremely hot, we had a great group of decorators show up for our tour.  We  visited the following showrooms Thanks for a great and informative day:


Hunter Douglas and the Resource Centre, with coffee and muffins
 provided by Helen Nichols, who arranged our tour for us.  
The resource area has conference rooms for us to use for 
meetings with clients as well as many small booths 
which showcase some of their vendors.
Nantucket™ window shadings



W Studio where Sarrah showed us their beautiful rugs, 
and taught us a few things about silk carpets.  
The selection was amazing, and we learned about their great delivery program as well.  
These rugs are all hand knotted, and come in a variety of modern to classic.
STUDIO COLLECTION





                                           Mille Luce Designs,  is an amazing lighting 
showroom, where we saw all sorts of new 
and wonderful products. 
We also saw the new light bulb by Phillips 
which is basically indestructible and lasts 15 
years- great for those hard to reach areas

We finished our tour at Robert Allen Fabrics, 
where we were like "kids in a candy shop"- 
there is something about seeing row upon row of beauttiful fabrics 
that make decorators hearts beat a bit faster.
