Pink and White Nursery

Pink and White Nursery Junior League of Toronto Showhouse 2009

This darling nursery was designed professionally for the Junior League of Toronto Showhouse this year. A grand showhouse is outfitted quinquennially by top designers and open to the public for viewing and is worth a visit. This year designers like Brian Gluckstein and Kimberley Seldon were part of the envisionaries. The McLean House (this years choice home) is a large scale mansion with equally grand-sized windows and doors with deep molded jambs. So, it is very fitting to see a large patterned wallpaper like this pink and white scrolled design.  The large silk swath of fabric around the oval crib and three-panel dressing mirror do not feel out of place either despite their size. In fact, anything smaller would be dwarfed by the magestic natural allure of the abode.

Iron Leaf Bed

Iron Leaf Bed
This charming European styled bed reminds me an awful lot of the beds in the guest rooms of my grandmother’s home in Mexico.  I remember the cold feel of the metal headboard and pretty floral designs. The
Iron Leaf Bed by Posh Living has delicate iron lattice work that is embellished with metal leaves and ivy.  Headboards should always have a feeling of stability, it should anchor your bed, it’s a feng shui thing.
