If you’ve been reading my blog, for a while, you'll recognize that I love giving readers a heads up on design news. The New Traditionalist style is one such insight. Do you believe a traditional and a cool decor can co exist? Yes? Then you’re one of the New Traditionalists.
What is New Traditional Style? It involves using classic pieces interpreted in exciting new ways; these twist’s on conventional furniture design may be a change of: the color, the finish or the material.

While I've sprinkled this blog with images that illustrate this style; I invite you to join me at the upcoming Delectable Design, a Junior League of Toronto- fundraiser event running Oct 27-30/11 at the Heritage Court, Exhibition Center, where I'll showcase this style yet again.
So enjoy the images with a reminder of a few important observations I learned from a wise friend:
- Great design is timeless and can and should be enjoyed for more than a fleeting moment.
- You’ll get the most beautiful results when you allow creative people a little more room to spread their wings.
- Interior design is more than an overnight process.
- Interior design involves time and a financial investment. (And the two do intertwine.)
- Quality always shines through.
- A vision can only be fully shared when the project has been completed. The real picture will then come into focus.

- If your designer is happy, chances are you will be, too!
So let us do what we do best and your results will be rewarding.
What questions or comments do you have about the process of design? I’m happy to share so post your query in the comments and I'll get back to you!
