On September 13th, design and lifestyle bloggers will gather at Toronto’s Royal York hotel for BlogPodium. Like many of my blogging colleagues, I’m very much looking forward to it. It’s a wonderful day for face-to-face learning and exploration for bloggers who generally interact like crazy online. Today’s theme for the blog headers round-up is BlogPodium. These are some of the many bloggers who will be attending the conference.

How do you all feel about “industrial chic” style? I could pretty much move into any of these rooms even though I generally prefer things to be a little more delicate.

Warm woods and soft textures do effectively tone down hard-core industrial spaces. While I’ve never really embraced this style, I do sometimes find myself drawn to industrial-type lamps and accessories. If you type “industrial chic” into the search bar on Etsy or Pinterest, you’ll get pages upon pages of industrial items and ideas. Here are some from Etsy that I found interesting:
vintage industrial pendant light, $215
New York water tower print, $29
L-shaped desk, $2087
vintage molds, $15
vintage door knob & hardware, $35
shelving unit, $2384
So, tell me, what’s your take on this approach to design?
I didn’t get my act together this year to find a place to play tennis in Waterloo, but I still have my eye on some cool tennis gear. This chic racquet and case makes me really want to get out there and play!
