when it comes to magazine websites, canadian house & home is my hands-down favorite. they have great home tours, young, vibrant editors, fun blog posts and my all-time favorite: michael penney.

i’ve been following michael’s blog posts for a few months now, each one seemingly getting better and better each week. so naturally when i got a tiny peek of his home i was dying to share it here. so i was thrilled to hear from trish at house & home about his upcoming home tour in this month’s issue! if you’re not near a paper issue, today h&h is launching a gorgeous digital slide show of michael’s home. i’ve chosen my favorite shots above and below, but you can view the full home right here. it’s so pretty i can’t stand it. all that blue and brown. swoon. thanks so much to michael, trish and angus for sharing these shots with us.

I agree – the stripes are wonderful! I’ve always liked the idea of striping a focal wall – it’s an inexpensive way to make a room that much more special.

I like that striped wall. Reminds me of a Henri Bendel shopping bag!

Oh my goodness, when I found out Michael Penney would be featured on DS I was so excited! Not only is he a fellow Canadian, he has great taste and most of all, always has great budget friendly tips and design ideas.
Yay for Canadian House & Home! :)
