WHEN ASKED WHAT PIECE IN THE NEW COLLECTION WITH URBAN BARN IS HIS FAVORITE , Tommy jokes that this is like asking a parent which child is their favorite ! “ But ” he continues “ I don ’ t mind telling you I brought my UB Bandanna Quilted Throw to my family ’ s Northern Ontario cottage this past summer and was not allowed to bring it home . It ’ s OK though , I can get another one . I think one of my nieces is still wrapped in it .”
Many years ago , Tommy Smythe had a little one room apartment that he called home . It was lovingly furnished with family heirlooms , RL linens , antiques and things he had picked up during his travels . Guests quickly fell in love with his home and some even asked for help finding things to furnish their own homes . Before long , a love for design grew from a hobby to a full time passion .
