It's design week in Toronto and I'm busier than a Christmas elf on December 24th. So today's post is a fast and dirty recap of last night's big kick-off party for IDS 13.

Crate's great looking line of cushions falls into the $35 - $80 range and one or two of them just might end up on my new brass bed.
