GTA Wester's hit the big city for a showroom haunt

Recently our group of CDECA Interior Decorators visited several great showrooms in Toronto along King St. East.  Our first stop was the fantastic Cambria Studio on Parliament Street. We then proceeded to visit Roche Bobois; Jamie Alexander's Showrooms - Alexander Interiors &; Inspired Interiors;  Studio Bulthaup; Luxe Thermador and finally back to Cambria Studio for a tour and lunch.

Every showroom that we visited welcomed us with goodies and gift bags with information we can take back to ensure we are completely informed about their product lines which in turn works to the advantage of our clients.



It was a fabulous day and even the weather looked favourably on us and remained warm and sunny.  Perfect!

Margaret Macdonald of Cambria welcomed us to their beautiful showroom
  




Stop #2 was Roche Bobois
This table opens to a large size when necessary.  The actual workings are visible.  Quite unique and a conversation starter!



 
Stop #3 - Studio Bulthaup
Offering complete kitchens with very streamlined, high end cabinetry and from Germany





Stop #4 - Jamie Alexander's Showrooms - Alexander Interiors and Inspired Interiors








Stop #5 Luxe Thermador
Lovely Luxure appliances, featuring Thermador, Gaggenau, Bosch




Last Stop - Back to Cambria for another fantastic lunch
Thanks to all for a great day!

Welcome back all GTA Wester's and everyone else in CDECA

We returned refreshed from a nice little break in August and ready to get going on the fall decor projects.  Our first Chapter Event was sponsored by Sun Glow Window coverings and hosted at Q Design in Mississauga.  Our topic was "It's all about Fabric" and the Sun Glow representative demonstrated some of the newest blinds and how they function.  We were brought up to date on black out options and many more.  The variety of fabrics is amazing and way ahead of what we used to see in blinds.  Q Design carries the Sun Glow product line so anyone sourcing in the West can go and see them.  

Sun Glow has both commercial and residential products and as far as I am aware they are the only supplier who offer Swarovski Crystals to some of their lines.  Sun Glow has an incredible variety including some great ideas for children's rooms.  They cover the gambit from plain to glamorous and everything in between.  As to the many options, it would be far more than one could write so if you are in the market for window coverings check out their website at http://www.mysunglow.com







We were offered a lovely healthy breakfast as well.  Thanks to everyone for a great event.
