  1. Penney & Co Renovations

    May 7, 2013 by michaelpenneystyle

    Well as many of you know I’ve been struggling to know how to best use the back section of my shop, Penney & Company.  It’s still quite a mash up of elements – cinder block, plywood, concrete floors that slope to a drain and a garage door!  Remember, this shop used to be a mechanic’s garage!

    I’ve ordered a pair of tall book cases with ladders to add storage and have a contractor on his way today to address the plywood hole.  Hopefully some paint and elbow grease will get this area into shape soon.  Keep you posted.

    Here are the shelves – hope they look good in person!

  2. New Book: Tom Scheerer Decorates

    May 6, 2013 by michaelpenneystyle

    One of my all time favourite decorators, Tom Scheerer has come out with a new coffee table book.

    I cannot wait to give it a good cover-to-cover read.  Tom Scheerer is known for his relaxed traditional take on decorating with clever decorative references and gorgeous colour combinations.  It certainly appeals to the young foggy in me and he always adds a fresh twist.

    I’m anticipating a review copy of my own this summer and will be sure to report back with the many amazing ideas and inspirations it’s sure to include.  Can’t wait!  In the mean time be sure to head over to tomscheerer.com to see his portfolio and whet your appetite!

  4. Breezy Hamptons Style

    May 3, 2013 by michaelpenneystyle

    Is this not the most gorgeous Friday in recent memory?

    Southern Ontario is enjoying a beautiful, warm, sunny day and the trees are beginning to leaf out and the bulbs are blooming and magnolias just popped and…sigh!  It’s got me dreaming of fair weather retreats and breezy Hamptons style.  You know, blue, white, costal and casual.

    I’m loving the costal collections at Williams Sonoma Home and thought you might too.  Let’s dream of having a place like this…

    With a beach like this…

  7. Freshness In A Bottle

    April 30, 2013 by michaelpenneystyle

    The rain bent some of our daffodils in our garden at home and since I had the day off with the family, I took the time to snip a few damaged blossoms for inside.  I made sure Violet got a good long whiff of their intoxicating scent.

    And here’s a tip –  keep little bottles and vases like these around for small still life moments just like this – you’ll be so glad you did.

    It was a wonderful experience with Alana and I’d highly recommend it if you’ve got a little one on the way or even if yours has already arrived and you want to capture the cuteness at any age!  Thank you so much Alana.
