Ah, the lovely Arren Williams has shared his home with House & Home home tour video collection.  {This new series of videos from House & Home are really well done.}  I always enjoy watching Arren on the Cityline TV show.  He’s a talented stylist, designer and blogger.   This photo is a nice snapshot of what this video home tour has to offer.  What impressed me most is that there wasn’t too much color, simply well chosen pieces and just the right hits of color, pattern and texture.  The wallpaper choices are well done as they don’t take away from the rest of the decor, it all blends well together.

Learn how to mix wallpaper, inexpensive vintage furniture, bold colours and sleek new pieces, using the example of stylist-writer Arren Williams’ modernist, Palm Springs inspired house. Bright hues in the living room contrast with a minimalist tiled kitchen.

If you live in Canada and watch Cityline, especially Thursday “Home Day”, you’ve had the opportunity to see Brian Gluckstein in action.  This sleek dressed man has the most amazing interior design taste.  I always look forward to the segments showing his latest creations.  Some things are a bit on the traditional side for me (yes, I’m all modern all the time) but he just has that special quality in making homes so beautiful.

I was perusing his website this evening and found a few treasure I thougth I’d share.  First, I had no idea he was making videos!  I luv that he calls it GHTV (Gluckstein Home TV).  You can watch very informative videos such as “How to setup and style your outdoor space for entertaining”, perfect for the summer!  Another is called “How to Style Your Guest Bathroom”… you get the idea.  Stying ideas from a master all free and online, how sweet it is.

The above picture is showcasing batch products from his home collection sold at The Bay. 

Here are some of my favorite from his residential portfolio and contract portfolio… I do recommend checking them both out, they are spectacular!

One of my favorite interior stylists Janette Ewenwho always brings wonderful design ideas to Cityline (a wonderful Canadian morning show) has a neat DIY project posted on her website. You can dress up any lampshade  by using wallpaper samples or left overs to add texture and pattern to your home decor.  I also use wallpaper samples framed (same as mentioned in the video).  I’ve ordered samples from many UK wallpaper sites and framed them, they look amazing!
