Schmoozing at IDS11

Just after arriving at the IDS gala last night, Arren WIlliams and Tommy Smythe wandered by. I grabbed a TBB and said let’s follow Tommy, he’ll lead us to Sarah! Well, he led us to the House & Home booth, where we accosted Tommy and Arren and took some pictures.

And then we zipped over to the Sibling Revelry exhibit, and there was Tommy again in the space designed by Sarah Richardson and her brother Theo (he’s one third of the design team Rich, Brilliant, Willing in NYC). Tommy wearing a very cool Harry Rosen tie and his do-it-yourself facelift :-)

Tommy is hilarious, and so gracious. Thank you Tommy for letting the TBBs accost you! And of course, we had to accost Sarah too :-) She was also gracious and patient with us as we had our pictures taken with her :-)

Last night was schmoozing, today is perusing! I’ll be back with lots of pics from IDS next week!

IDS11, here we come!

It’s official – eight Ottawa Decorating Divas have booked our train tickets and reserved our hotel rooms for IDS11 in Toronto. We’re going to be taking the MTCC by storm on January 27th at the Opening Night Gala!

Here are some pics from last year’s show – which, by the way, was pretty fantastic :-) There was amazing lighting…

This is just a tiny sampling of all the cool stuff you’ll see at the show. The Opening Night Gala is the first opportunity to check out IDS, and is definitely worth the price of admission.

If you’re planning to be at the show, drop me a line and let me know – it would be great to meet up with some blog & Twitter buddies :-)
