Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and all you other Mom's out there. Thanks to my friend Susan for sharing this snap of flowers her boys brought her last week. The nice thing is, the digital flowers keep on giving, their blooms will never wilt. I love you, Mom!

While I was seeing Emanuel at Old Fashioned Restoration I popped across the street to Eclectic Revival (3075 Dundas St. West, 416.766.5500) where owner Pete Breeze has THE most stunning vintage Italian suspension light in the window. Priced at $3,500 the light would break the bank but OMG, what a stunner!

If I'd known this was going to be a styleNorth post I would have taken better "before" pics. Honestly, the table was a mess before I took it to Emanuel Calleja at Old Fashioned Restoration (3068 Dundas St. West, 416-767-6989). It's a long and not very interesting story as to how I came to be the guardian of this particular table, suffice it to say that I felt responsible for the state it ended up in and wanted to do right by the piece before I returned it to its rightful owner. Emanuel charges around $250 to do a job like this so if you've got a good piece that needs some TLC, I highly recommend this refinishing genius, he truly is the Wood Whisperer.

My first post about Of Things Past in Rosedale got a luke warm reception here, but whatever. The shop is on my block so I keep tabs on it and week after week after week there is something on the floor I adore, something priced just ever so slightly out of my reach; so I wait and debate only to see it snapped up and gone while my indecision simmers. Today these charming chests appeared in the window, so Dorthory Draper the grand dame herself might have designed them. She'd certainly snap them up if she were alive and had a client to cajole. The colour, the scale, those feet!

Every year I hear from at least one reader who saw the sale on styleNorth and snagged themselves a fantastic deal, so here we go again with the annual Gus Warehouse sale, tomorrow (Saturday, April 13), address details below. If you're serious about a sofa or another major piece from the Gus line, GO EARLY! This is a serious sale that people stake out and attack with a vigor worthy of the Flintstones' Betty and Wilma. Charge-It!
