25 - 29 January	Canadian Foyer Room – Foyer This issue is all Canadian. What sort of design style really represents a Canadian look? There really isn’t one. Canada is made up of many different cultures and these cultures help to shape our individual design styles in Canada. What we do have is four distinct seasons to consider in any home design, especially in the front foyer. A foyer provides the first impression for an entire house.

This is the case in this episodes very dark, unwelcoming front entrance. Suzanne has come up with a dramatic black & white solution that will address functionality and give the front entrance a sophisticated Park Avenue feel. The dark grey walls will be painted bright white and black ribbon will be used to showcase hanging prints. A stylish bistro floor will be laid in tile to provide a durable yet chic look. A sleek bench will be added for putting on boots while hooks will be hung the length of the wall for easy, organized coat access. Large coach lanterns will be hung from the ceiling to provide light from an elegant source. A mirror will be added to reflect this light and softly illuminate the space.
