Time to get the fireplaces going…turn on the heat and style them up pretty! Isn’t the collection below so inspiring?

Do you have a fireplace? Does it start with logs and a match or do you flip a switch?
Big news, everyone: I am now a loft owner!
(P.S. This is Johanne here, not Jordana who is also a new fab home owner and welcome to crash at my loft anytime).
YES it really happened- I will be moving all of 30 steps to the next-door building at Toronto’s iZone lofts. I’m essentially going from renting a sprawling factory loft to owning one, which is a very very good thing.
With January’s move comes new furniture that will make the best use of the space. For the past five days I’ve been obsessing over half-moon sectionals – mostly because I found a beautiful designer fabric-printed 1970’s Selig sectional at Toronto’s Guff. I really, REALLY want it but am currently having some domestic debate over whether or not to buy it. Don’t you think that a semi-circle sofa is not only tres cool but also *made* for sparkling conversation? (Me too!)
Anyway, I’m barely holding off (for now!) but can’t help thinking that something like this lovely white leather number (below) would be a very fun piece. As I keep telling my partner, when else in your life will you have a half-moon sofa? Hm?
Beliani‘s modern white leather sofa is a party sparkler, non?
You may remember that last week I announced Octaspring’s current contest. Use Pinterest to create an #OctaspringDream bedroom board and post the link on Facebook…that’s all it takes to enter! The prize is a great one…a set of Octaspring pillows plus a $250 gift card to the Home Depot. Can I mention again that I am one of the judges of the contest? Am I excited? Of course I am. I’m very much looking forward to seeing what your must-haves are in your dream bedroom!
While I cannot enter the contest, I did want to create a dream board. It’s been a handy board, actually, considering the fact that I’m currently rearranging a lot in my home and the master bedroom still needs some attention. Here’s a sneak peek at my #OctaspringDream bedroom Pinterest board:
Have a full look at it here.
As you’ll notice, some of my bedroom must-haves are: art, windows, sunlight, excellent linens, texture, cool lighting, beautiful closet, pretty pyjama sets, flowers, an assortment of pillows (I’m currently sleeping on the Octaspring Evolution – I’ll post a review soon!), and a bed that is made (I cannot leave the house with a messy bed. How about you?).
The #OctaspringDream bedroom contest ends November 18th Friday December 13th so get a-pinning!
Let’s end the week with some bathrooms, shall we? How about five gorgeous bathrooms? Yes? Yes.

If I won the lottery, I’d treat myself to one or more of these amazingly cool (and stylish and flexible) pieces from Plexi-Craft.
I just want them all! Want. Want. Want. Need? Um, nevermind that.
