karl style at home meets canada am

Before I went off to J-school, a work colleague at the time said the only way she would support my move was if I went on to become a host of Canada AM. Needless to say, Seamus O’Regan remains very firmly entrenched behind the newsdesk, and the thought of starting my work day at 5AM makes me break out in a cold sweat. (As a total aside, has anyone ever wondered how Seamus makes it to all those black-tie evening events that are covered in Toronto Life’s society pages? Does the man NEVER sleep???) Nevertheless, I now have an insider on CTV’s super-successful morning show… Karl Lohnes, our very own Contributing Style Editor, is now the official Home Decor expert on Canada AM, and has launched his own blog on the CTV website. Regular readers of STYLE AT HOME know Karl as a DIY demi-god, and his guide to crafting a slipshade cover for a style-for-less makeover of a favourite lamp is just one of the many gems he’ll be sharing both on-screen and online. Congrats, Karl!

He’ll tell you what you need, what you really, really need!

(Yes, I’m still haunted by the Spice Girls.)

Karl Lohnes, our very own Contributing Style Editor, will present “What You Really Need: Decorating for 2009″ at the College Park location of DeBoer’s on Saturday, February 7. If you’ve never had the chance to see Karl live, I strongly suggest you RSVP online right away because space is limited. With his wealth of experience — and armed with a razor-sharp wit — Karl’s presentations are always a huge hit at trade shows, and in the intimate setting of DeBoer’s gorgeous College Park showroom (an inspiration in itself), this is not to be missed. Karl’s gonna dish on decorating trends for the upcoming year, suggest the new must-have accessories, furniture and paint colours, and he may even hold the solution to your design dilemma… Oh, and it’s FREE.

See you there!
