Susan on Design: January 2011

http://movingdesignz.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Pink Love, Happy 2011. For todays post I thought I would do a fun light post to start the year 2010 with Pantones colour of the year for 2011. Pink. I thought it would be fun to post my random thoughts along with some Pink inspiration. Last years colour of the year was Turquoise, which actually looks pretty awesome coupled with pink at this wedding table setting. Highly recommend if you are looking for a light fun read. I've been in love with pink for awhile now. A pink carna...

Susan on Design: February 2011

http://movingdesignz.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 21, 2011. For this week's blog post I am going to share my recent buying for Moving Designz Home & Cottage. Normally every January I go to Toronto for the both the furniture and giftware shows. However this year I decided to do switch things up a bit and go to Las Vegas. After doing some planning and research I chose to attend The Las Vegas Market. Connie (my sister), me and Karrie (my bff). I chose The Vegas Market for a few different reasons. Mainly, I. I really like the street name pr...

Susan on Design: June 2010

http://movingdesignz.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 28, 2010. For this weeks post I'm going to share one of our smaller yet very charming projects. A couple of lovely seaside/country inspired bedrooms. Recently finished, we started this work last fall with some construction, painting and then had to delay the finishing touches until the cottage was reopened this spring. After the outside received some new paint we turned our attention to giving the master bedroom a fresh new look. Inspiration for the room came from this selection of bed linen...

Vancouver Interior Designer: Are Terra Cotta Floors like Jeans? December 07, 2011. I have heard many sweet and wonderful things about Tobi Fairley's mom Beverly Wells and what an amazing hostess she is! When I saw this beautiful Christmas house in turquoise and green decorated by Tobi and Beverly, I had to post it here! Via At Home in Arkansas. See how the gray countertops have been brought to life by the turquoise? If you want to have fresh walls or cabinets and white. Is too much maintenance? It's real...

Susan on Design: I'm Not Afraid of Colour

http://movingdesignz.blogspot.com/2012/04/im-not-afraid-of-colour.html

Tuesday, April 10, 2012. I'm Not Afraid of Colour. For todays post I thought I would share a few pictures of the shop now that Springs has finally arrived. Everytime a new shipment arrives we find ourselves looking for ways to display all the new merchandise in a fresh way so our customers can visualize it in their homes. I'm always inspired by colour! While Anita was away on vacay last week, Ellyn and I were busy rearranging the shop. Our bedroom display is a mix of vibrant colours. For those prefering ...

Friday, March 30, 2012. For todays post I thought I would do a little designer take on How It's Made. All the steps that go into the making of a custom sofa ordered from Moving Designz. Ever wonder where your custom sofa comes from? I bet you haven't. I didn't either until I became a shop owner. In early March I was in Toronto for The Heart and Stroke Foundation's Heart Truth Fashion Show. I did the logical thing and combined personal time with business. Are you curious like me? I took these photos direc...
