Tracy and I didn’t intentionally coordinate outfits on today’s CityLine. I swear!

On today’s broadcast, I showed host Tracy Moore how to craft no-fuss flower arrangements with a few tips and tricks I’ve picked up here at Style at Home - watch the clip by clicking here!

Everyone in the audience was asking me about the gorgeous green tulipiere at the top of the segment. It’s the Aorta flower arranger from Abbott - one of the most chic wholesalers in the country - and retails for about $15 (what a STEAL!). To find a retailer close to you (Abbott supplies some of the best home & gift stores across Canada), just give them a ring at 1-800-263-2955. I loved this tulipiere so much, you’ll be seeing more of it in the May issue of Style at Home, on newsstands the first week of April!

I always feel bad for the carnation… It’s easily the most detested cut flower on the market, and it’s such a shame seeing as how they’re so inexpensive and so hardy. This particular arrangement can last about two weeks with proper care.

I was seriously impressed with Tracy’s floral arranging skills… I think she has a secret calling in the floral design field!

Join Kimberley Seldon, Style At Home’s new editor-in-chief Jane Francisco and yours truly on CityLine, airing at 9AM (EST) on Tuesday, July 28!

In this ep, Kimberley talks railings and outdoor furniture, while Jane adds a Price Is Right-style twist to Style At Home’s ever-popular High/Low column. I’m on-hand to share some tips and tricks on easy, breezy summer table settings, and some must-have Scandinavian lines that are heating up the tabletop.

Be there!

Woo-hoo!

I’ve done pre-taped segments for CityLine before (butler boot-camp, anyone?), but I’m making my live studio debut later this month! 

I’ll be joining STYLE AT HOME’s Contributing Decorating Editor, Kimberley Seldon, on the show, airing at 10AM on Tuesday, July 28, to dish on some Scandinavian table settings – all the rage this summer, as seen in my “Table Style” column in the August issue, on stands now!

I’m so excited to meet Tracy Moore, as I haven’t had the chance to work with her yet. Yippee!
