I would love to take credit for the beautiful home my family lives in, but the truth is that it is mostly due to a designer I met accidentally.  My family had just moved to Toronto and everything happened so fast we were living in a partially furnished home, in mid winter.  One day, when I was steeling myself for the job of buying furniture, there was a knock on the door.  It was a toronto decorator whose car had broken down and needed to use the phone.  We got talking, she gave me an estimate, and it wasn’t long before we had the lovely home we now enjoy.
