Happy New Year 2012

Updating our Toronto Apartment

Making some changes to our apartment, so far I have decided on the Restoration Hardware Lancaster 96" sofa that is 4 feet deep ~ perfect for two to curl up and watch TV.





For a coffee table I have found a wonderful vintage cart with 6 wired basket drawers

Thinking of painting the apartment white and hanging subway art above the sofa.



I will post more as I make decisions and will post before and after photos.

Found a different sofa at Elte, 44" deep.
