I ditto this entirely! And, while here, I must also say to you, mtn, that I loved seeing those additional photos of your home that you have recently posted. There sure has been lots of house porn on the GW these past few days!

Thanks, Martha! I think we need a ROH (rest of house) forum now!

Mtnrd + MV - TY! And yes, there have been a bottle or two consumed in that dining room :-).

The print is actually an Etre, called Charleston Couple. If you see it up close, you can really "feel" the 20s: all knock knees, whirling skirts and exaggerated makeup. We have some wonderful stuff from Turkey but none of it "art"; more textiles and ceramics than anything else.

I, too loved your home elizpiz! So different in style/decor from mine, but one in which I'd feel very welcome (not hinting, ok, maybe a little! LOL).

Cat_mom - do not make idle promises :-). Would love to see the whole gang of you up in Toronto for a GW get-together, Canuck style!

PS. CM - love those frilly shower curtains - they made me happy.

I'm late to this party, but I'd love to see Eliz's rest-of-house photos. Could someone post a link? Eliz, your kitchen photos are in our reference file--just beautiful.
And cheers from a fellow Canuck, eh?

Party in Toronto? GW get-together? Yes! I'm in! When is everyone coming?!

Sandn, TY! The pix were posted in a thread a while ago that asked GW'ers to reveal the rest of their houses. Mine pales in comparison to some of the truly stunning homes that GW'ers have (check out beekeeper's lovely home, for one). Thread linked below - enjoy. Many people shared!

I am always up for a GW get-together and if we can do one in Toronto, that would be awesome!

Here is a link that might be useful: Seen your house...

I'm in Toronto at least once a month (I live in Ottawa), next visit is April 11th. I'd be up for GW get-together.

And Eliz knows how much I love her house. Definitely a huge inspiration for all kinds of us here.

mtnrdredux - I can't wait to see the big reveal!

That's an inspiring thread! It's so great to see all the different ways people choose to live, and all the personal style. What a heartening counterpoint to the professionally staged and edited interiors in books and magazines. This really is an amazing forum.
I hope the "Seen your kitchen..." thread gets periodically revived, but we probably won't be contributing to its revival for at least a couple of years yet. Even after a decade, our home is very much a work in progress. Kitchen first...

I can possibly do the 11th, depending on timing. Anyone else available?

Darn! The 11th doesn't work for me - would love to host a get together if we can find a date that works. Sochi, when are you next in Toronto?

Eliz

I'm not sure of the next date, but I have some flexibility. I will check my schedule for next month at work tomorrow. Maybe we could start a new thread to see who might be interested in a Toronto meet-up, then brain storm through a few possible dates?

That sounds good! Sochi, when you know your dates, do you want to let the rest of us know? And let's see who else from the GTA would be in...
