It’s finally patio season and I for one could not be any happier about that! I’m a big outdoor person, so to finally be able to comfortably spend time outside (and not need to layer myself in clothing) feels fantastic.
In light of this sunny weather we’ve been having, I thought I’d share a few photos from the Andrew Richard Designs 2013 Spring/Summer preview.
That time of year is coming up quick (and early), but we’re already prepared with our best Easter recipes and decorating ideas. How about you? Not quite set yet? Not to worry because we are here to help!
We want you to make the most of this holiday by enjoying time with your loved ones. And what better way to do so than by gathering around a beautifully set table?
This year we’re giving away an entire Easter party prize pack courtesy of Indigo to create a wonderfully colourful and fun Easter tabletop! Read on to find out everything you could win and how to enter.

With the Oscars almost upon us, I find myself day-dreaming of hosting a creative Oscar dinner party. Alas, my hectic schedule won’t allow me the time for any large sort of to-do.
However, there’s no reason we all can’t entertain a few of our dear friends with these four essential must-haves for creative entertaining from West Elm. These picks were inspired by the idea of set design — quite easily one of the most compelling and unique award categories at the Oscars (in my humble opinion!)

Interviewing incredible design icons just happens to be one of the many perks of this job, but only every now and then do we have the honour of sitting down with a legend.
Last month, design editor Jessica Waks and I enjoyed afternoon tea with Lord Wedgwood, great grandson of Josiah Wedgwood, who started perhaps the best-known and best-collected tableware brand in the world, Wedgwood (now Waterford-Wedgwood-Royal Doulton) more than 250 years ago. We chatted about everything, from tea to terrible cooking, from spectacular dishware to Downton Abbey, and walked away, under the spell of British charm, to bring tea time back to our own homes.

No matter how busy I am or how little time I have to actually leave my computer and speak to real life humans, I still always seem to find the time to lazily click around online and shop. There are the usual suspects (Etsy, Indigo, Society6), but when I stumble across a golden nugget like Leif, I know the online shopping gods are lookin’ out for me.

This summer is looking cool and refreshing. The Indigo 2012 summer preview showcased crisp blues and whites inspired by a combination of the Mediterranean decor and lakeside summers in Canada.
Taking a cue from their classic blue-and-white sign, Indigo set up a beautiful courtyard filled with outdoor decor and entertaining essentials for Summer 2012. Here’s a look at our favourite finds from the event.
One of my all time favourite things to do during the warm months is to spend time on patios with friends and family. An afternoon sipping refreshing summer cocktails, nibbling on tasty treats and soaking up the sun along with riveting conversation is perfection to me.
So this week the Style at Home team and I are focusing on pretty patio related boards to help us all to pull together those wonderful elements that make patios a personal outdoor oasis.
Keep reading to discover who these boards belong to and how you too can make the most of patio season!
