Canadian Gift Show - Part 2

This segment of my visit to the CGTA has a mix of well known sources of design inspiration and some new introductions for me.

Muti & Co. has a wonderful collection of furnishings and accessories for any style home.  Creative Director Lisa Aiken was kind enough to highlight some lovely vignettes she designed and new products they were featuring at the show.

More Black Glamour - also featured here

Can't resist the silver velvet chair and organza floral pillows with mirrored furniture and hits of fuschia...

or are we calling it Honeysuckle now?

Elegant European flair

Garden inspiration

Their huge selection of mirrors is striking against the deep blue wall

I was totally struck by this picture and I MUST have it for myself!

Another stop on my tour was a well known brand available in some of the finest home decor retailers and often cited in shelter magazines, Torre & Tagus.  The drama of the black and white foundation, while captivating, took a back seat to the bursts of pink, purple and silver sprinkled throughout.  Birds, poodles and orchids beckon to be noticed!

We were all swooning over the owls at West Elm in December

A new flock is coming ladies!

This mirror would be fabulous for my powder room makeover (someday!)

You don't need an expensive floral bouquet for these gorgeous vases,

just a few simple blooms or large banana leaves.

Her boyfriend is over here

Amy Butler known for her fashion & print design has collaborted with New Orleans based manufacturer Kalencom to create gorgeous bags and travel accessoies.  Made of eco-friendly organic cotton, low impact dyes and the highest grade leather accents, zippers & trims along with bulletproof construction! 

Can't beat that.

The lovely Lin was very helpful demonstrating the quality construction, versatility and functionality of all the pockets, beautifully lined with high grade leather in this photo below.

Look at all the gorgeous colours and patterns.  They come in a wide variety of styles such as totes, dufflebags, laptop bags, diaper bags, various sized travel and carry-ons. 

The only problem is which amazing pattern to choose!

Still more to come from CGTA 2011...
