IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN..... FALL HOME SHOWS
The fall brings a sense of rejuvenation and we all gravitate back inside after spending many hours enjoying the wonderful outdoors during the spring and summer months. We also look at what needs to be done in our homes and of course we attend Home Shows and Trade Shows to see what is new and exciting. This year I am proud to be one of the decorators taking part in the Habitat for Humanity Upcycle Challenge at the upcoming Toronto Fall Home Show which runs from October 3rd to 6th and is being held in the Better Living Centre, at Exhibition Place .
I have always believed in re-using and re-making items even before it became common to do. My son was always saying 'why do you bring home all this junk', why not just buy what you want like other people do'. Of course he was the person who got stuck lugging it around when I had my bi-annual 'shifting of the junk' as he referred to it. I believe he sees what can be gained by re-cycling now and even if it wasn't something smart to do, I still enjoy re-creating things. I have a fantastic turn of the century sofa that I found in the garbage and of course it was my son who had to bring it home.
Drop by the Habitat display. You will be inspired!!
