Anna Spiro at Canadian House and Home and Giveaway.

I fell in love with this home in this months issue of Canadian House and Home Magazine.  It is the home of Australian designer and blogger Anna Spiro.  What's to LOVE?  Her use of color. Pinks and yellows and blue and black and WHITE.  But she does it with such charm and freshness, I find it uplifting.  I think her dining room with the mismatched chairs is one of my favourites ever.  Love it when designers use old, mismatched, vintage.  This house looks real and lived in, rather like the photographer popped by unexpectedly and snapped a few pics, and not like it was styled and propped for a photo shoot. 

 Look at that wall of art.........

For those of you who are greatly missing your Domino, Canadian Home and Country or other magazines that fell victim to the Recession, you really should check this one out.....With the fairly new Editor Suzanne Dimma, it had a new feel......a bit younger, edgier and the rooms have a much artsier feel, less "decorator just left" and more evolved, collected and unique.  I am really proud of this Canadian magazine, and always take a copy to give my host when I travel, or as a little gift to visitors here from elsewhere.  Don't you LOVE reading the design mags from other countries when visiting.  They have even taken a new step in producing a new version in French called "Maison et Demuire".  Leave me a comment on this post and you could win a copy of Canadian House and Home in your mailbox.....

Did House and Home pay me for that little plug????

No.  But I hate that so many great magazines have vanished and I know you would love this one if you saw it, and I really, really want it to keep going and growing...........

Sorry, back to Anna Spiro

I am crazy about her mismatched mirrors and this bathroom vanity....

I could just sit on this pink and whte sofa and look at her collections and Readables on her coffee table with a nice cup of tea..........

You could get this look by ordering pillows from different Etsy sellers.....

Remember that old battered chair you have tucked away......Go Bold or Go Home

The Giveaway. 

This one is dead simple.  No need to add your little face to my sidebar, no need to create a big windy post about this giveaway, no need to leave your name once, twice, three times.  Just leave your name in a comment if you think you would enjoy winning a copy of this magazine to check it out.  On Wednesday I will pick a person and send you a copy pronto........and you Aussies (and other countries) feel free to enter if you want to check out your Gal. I don't mind mailing overseas....
