I had the honour of being asked to speak, as well as participate, in two charity events (Table-tastic for Habitat for Humanity and Chair Affair for The Furniture Bank). Realizing that summer is over, we walked the show and gleaned lots of inspiration and knowledge to bring to our next renovation or decoration projects. Photos by Larry Arnal Colour of the Year by Benjamin Moore The journey to determine the colour of the year is one of much introspection and examination. It could have been any colour, and this particular choice was a sleeper hit. Simply White (OC 117) by Benjamin Moore, a shade which captures the simplicity and purity of what our lives should be rather than madness and confusion. It was unveiled at an event for the design and media community on October 7th, at the pristine, white loft above Andrew Richard Designs.
