There's a great article on us in the July issue of Style At Home, a fun, fresh design magazine out of Canada. Editor in chief Gail Johnston Habs and her talented team, including style sleuth Brett Walther, create consistently beautiful stories with a great mix of styles, budgets, and products. This issue is all about upcycling, and while the term may be new, the concept is one we all know and love—makeovers! From shabby to chic to the skirted sink, makeovers are my (and your!) favorite projects, and we're thrilled to be included in Style At Home's inspiring and timely take on the topic.
For the interview, Brett fired plenty of questions, all about junking, bartering, and reinventing finds from the flea market or, in this case, shield back chairs from the Goodwill. Click twice to enlarge the image.
There's also mention of our Etsy shop, full of my favorite vintage tabletop and giftware I've collected for years, all for less than $100.
Thank you again to everyone at Style At Home! And stay tuned for another possible story this September, as Jaithan and I head to Toronto with readers for the legendary Christie Antiques Show, the largest and best flea market in Canada! To join us, click here. Have a great weekend, everyone!
I would love to have the address ofDan & Beth Walker of North Carolina Oexning silversmithe

Eddie--you're an international style-setter! Can't wait to see you in Atlanta next week when we rock Scott's!

Such great press Eddie! and well deserved. Thanks for the flea market tips.

Today Canada tomorrow the world. Bravos but not surprised. Oprah need to have you on for upcycling. Nate's great but your style is a contrast & is so another needed perspective on her show.

Please don't forget the little people...love that you are garnering all this well deserved attention!

Congrats on the coverage, Eddie! You're face is really getting out there now. Loved the shopping trip in the post below. I know you're coming back to Scotts, but I'll have to miss this one. Hope ya'll have a blast!

Oh! I can't wait to see more 'Eddie Ross' articles in Style at Home!

Hi Eddie, yes I was so surprised to see you when my subscription came! I was like "Hey, it's Eddie". Congratulations on your appearance there, although I have to say that I am finding magazines a little behind the curve lately. I get a chuckle reading their blogger notes where they mention all the ubiquitous bloggers that we in the blogosphere have been reading for ages. I guess it is hard for them to keep up. ANyway, I was happy they finally gave a nod to OUR EDDIE! COngrats YOU! And those shieldback chairs are beautiful - I know I will see that photo over and over again because it is perfect! good job you!

I was excited to see you in the newest Style at Home - and now even more excited that perhaps I can see the 'real' you at Christie here in Toronto in Sept. Well done Eddie - you are doing such a great job! I really admire your work - you inspire me to get out and be creative :)

Eddie where can i find this mag in the US. I was at B&N today and didnt see it.
Posted by: Tamstyles | June 06, 2009 at 04:32 AM
I saw the article - it was fab-u-lous. I was so excited when I saw you mentioned.
Have fun at the Christies antique show, I can't wait for it to arrive!

Eddie, you are very well loved in Canada! Glad to see Styleathome is giving you the props you are due.
I'm thrilled to hear you're coming up north to do some treasure hunting in the fall. Hopefully you'll make it to the Montreal area some time soon as well- there are lots of treasures to be had in La Belle Province at a variety of "marchés aux puces."
And in addition, let me say: you're a real inspiration to young bachelors everywhere who recognize the importance of a beautifully set table at a dinner party. (Ever since I discovered your blog, I've felt affirmed for insisting on such things- even though I still get teased for it!)
Fondly,
Angus in Montreal
