Summer Home

One of my favourite TV designers, Samantha Pynn, debuted her new HGTV show last night - Summer Home.  This show was actually on last year, but with a different host.  I’m super excited to see Sam designing the cabins and cottages this year!  She has a sweet, fresh style that will be perfect.  (And she loves chairs even more than I do!  When she was at the Home Show here in Regina, she said she has a storage locker just for chairs… I wish!)

I’m excited to see what else she does.  I have a soft spot in my heart for cabins and cottages (I think western Canadians call ‘em cabins, and Easterners call them cottages…).  Growing up we would rent a cabin up in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan for a few weeks in the summer (and one memorable and VERY snowy Thanksgiving weekend.)  And I love beach cottage style.  If we ever had an extra pile of money lying around a cabin would definitely be on my “to buy” list.
