IDS12 has come and gone, and I have to say I think this was the best IDS show that I’ve been to. My brain is about to explode with all the amazing information that it absorbed over the last four days. There’s just too much to share in one blog post, so instead of cramming everything into one long post, I’m going to devote the next few weeks to posts about IDS12 and the related events. For today, here’s a really quick overview of the weekend, starting with the TBBs hangin’ with the very charming & funny Brian Gluckstein at the Canadian Design Blogger Meetup.
The beautiful & talented TBBs from left to right: Sonya, Donna, Lisa, Brian Gluckstein (our honourary TBB!), Maureen, Kelly, and Nicole
Not to name drop or anything, but here’s Glen Peloso reading the menu to us at Brassaii on Saturday night ;-)
There were so many amazing products, amazing people, and loads of amazing information everywhere. Here’s just a small sampling to whet your appetite (I’m still sorting out my pictures and will give proper credit once I figure out where I took them all!)

Want to see more? Of course you do! And I have a whole lot more to show you, plus I have lots of information to share from Kimberley Seldon’s Business of Design launch, BlogPodium, and the Canadian Design Blogger Meetup. February is going to be IDS12 month here – don’t miss it!
Actually, how about we turn this into a big IDS12 link party. If you’ve blogged about IDS12, please leave a comment or send me an e-mail with your URL(s) and I’ll include them in my IDS12 posts. Then everyone can visit everyone else and it’ll be like being at the show all over again :-) Here are just a few…
I felt in love with the stunning fixtures of Living Lighting. I plan to publish my IDS photos later this week.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your IDS post, Kim :-) I'd love to add it to the list that I'm compiling.
DeleteHi Kelly, Those light fixtures are to die for. LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteI have lots more beautiful light fixtures to share, Marilyn - stay tuned!
DeleteWow, you take great pictures Kelly! Great little summary. Looking forward to seeing your next posts and amazing shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole :-) I have so many more pictures to post!
DeleteMy post will be up shortly...and I'm happy to say, we will not be overlapping in content on this one, however I did take some of the same pics as you. Fabulous first IDS post...
ReplyDeleteThanks Maureen :-) You posted some things I totally missed!
DeleteDude, thanks for the link-up! Sorry we didn't get a chance to connect at BlogPodium: I saw you across the crowd but missed you in all the chatty confusion. If you're coming back out for the symposium in May, let me know. I'd love to meet face-to-face!
ReplyDeletePS - Your photos are fab. Nice work!
Thanks for adding me Kelly. I was half way through writing you a comment and got distracted by dinner and my art class and when I got home I found you had already written to me and added my post to the list. It was great to see you too. I really enjoyed the meetup.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing...I was trying to decide what I like best...but I couldn't!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDelete- Marie
Wonderful, Kelly! Enjoyed the fun and fab flavour of what we missed this year - and looks like it was great fun, too! Nice photos with design celebs ;) Can't wait to see more soon! Pam + Oded
ReplyDeleteIDS and the events over the weekend were all great :-) You and Oded should display your glass work in Studio North next year - it would be great exposure for you!
DeleteKelly, I can't thank you enough for featuring us on your blog. It was so nice that you could stop by our booth and chat a while. I had an absolutely amazing time at the show this year and already I can't wait for IDS13. We uploaded some photos of our booth on Facebook already so make sure you have a look (www.facebook.com/elte). Anyway, thank you once again. It means a lot. All the best and I hope you can come visit us at Elte sometime soon. Take care!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Andrew :-) I'm planning to write an entire blog post about the Elte booth. It was one of my favourites, especially those amazing sari rugs :-) I'll send you the URL when I get the post up (sometime over the next week or so). I'll definitely make my way to your store one of these days!
DeleteI am soooo jealous! Love the lighting you have featured here! Sorry i might have missed it, but what does TBB stand for?
ReplyDeleteIf I tell you what TBB stands for, I'll have to kill you ;-) There were so many gorgeous light fixtures at the show - I'll be posting lots more pictures soon :-)
DeleteThanks for the shout out Kelly! Love seeing your great photos of the spaces.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Kelly! looks you had a great time! more pics pls. a virtual hug to you
ReplyDeleteInspiration plus fun !! Lucky you !! I am still resting at home - something I am not good at !!
ReplyDeleteYay! What an awesome idea to list out other bloggers who've blogged on this year's event! I wasn't able to go this year cuz it landed on the same weekend as the National Bridal Show, so now I can relive the event through you guys! :D
ReplyDeletegreat post! thanks for the link!
