Design expert Michelle Mawby shows us a fresh new take on Canadiana chic!

The Canadiana look is traditionally associated with nature and all things dear to Canadian heritage and sensibilities. In this segment, Michelle Mawby adds a few new touches to these traditional ideas as well as introduces a few unexpected and charming elements. What’s created is a contemporary look that’s both playful and sophisticated.
 
From chromed antler chandeliers to provincial flag head dining chairs and gorgeous Birks crystal – nothing beats the sentimental nature of this welcoming winter decor that truly celebrates a beauty that’s uniquely Canadian.
