Pretty in...

I was searching for a shot from Style at Home of Samantha Pynn's home to include with my interview with her (click here to read it), and of course I came up empty handed, so you can imagine my surprise when one popped into my inbox this morning! Lucky indeed, since it's just the prettiest space, with her trademark shots of pink and a polished feel that's modern with a touch of 40's glam about it. If anything, it puts me in mind of the interiors in one of my current fave films, 'Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day', a frothy flick set in pre-war London that's well worth renting. 

This leads me onto something that'll definitely be worth booking into your calendar this month - The first ever Style at Home Show that'll be debuting down at Exhibition Place in Toronto on Oct 17th. They have quite the laundry list of fab presenters that includes Samantha, Margot Austin, Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan, Sarah Richardson, Lynn Spence and Tommy Smythe. You can book your tickets here, and it looks like you'll definitely be getting your design money's worth.

Here's that shot I mentioned, snapped by one of Sam's favourite photographers; Virginia Macdonald (make sure to check out her stunning portfolio).
