The editors of Canadian House & Home gave me a fun challenge: choose ten favorite design elements. It's always incredibly hard to narrow the field of great ideas out there, but I had a good time pouring over pictures from the past year and beyond. For example, I realized that Betsy Burnham was way ahead of the curve during the early-to-mid-2000s with her Sherwin Williams "Needlepoint Navy" walls. And Grant Gibson really is the go-to man for chic-yet-practical storage solutions.
I hope you enjoy looking at the roundup. (Thanks House & Home for inviting me to participate, and thank you to each tastemaker and designer for the inspiration!)FYI: Talented Michael Penney's teriffic home is featured today in a wonderful H & H slideshow. I love his alternative to the expected kitchen island. Check it out here.

How daunting that must have been to pick just ten good things! I enjoyed the slide show and commentary very much....and as always learned something new!

Maison, thanks for stopping by. The more I study Betsy's work, the more complex I see it is, and I love it even more. How lucky you are to be located so close to her!
