Her design work has also been featured in The National Post, The Globe & Mail and on Apartment Therapy.

Drawing on her past experience as a floral designer, Tamara has taught many workshops on floral design, in addition to presenting decorating/floral seminars at trade shows such as Canada Blooms, Toronto Fall Home Show and The Seasons Christmas Show. Tamara brings her unique sense of style and flair to everything she does and always enjoys sharing her styling secrets!

Haute Baby Gear: Just for Mom?

It started with a mobile. A gift from our new baby's grandparents. And of course, I stepped in to voice some approved choices. Something sleek... perhaps thin, die-cut bamboo. Then I realized that I'd not been selecting toys based on HIS preferences. I had been selecting what I thought would look the nicest in our home.
