Scenes from the Toronto National Home Show

Last Friday, I attended the Dirty Thirties-themed housewarming party at the Toronto Star Dream Gardens at the Toronto National Home Show. Party goers were encouraged to adorn themselves in their swankiest thirties garb and mix and mingle with CityLine experts and HGTV celebrity hosts Colin and Justin. The party was fun and laid back and the highlight of my evening was when I actually got to meet and chat with the Home Heist duo who were even more fabulous and endearing in person!

Swinging jazz sounds filled the Dream Gardens and '30s styled chorus girls provided entertainment for attending guests and celebrities. The Dream Gardens was the perfect venue for this party as the sheer beauty and serenity of the Dream Gardens provided a stunning backdrop for the evening. 

The next day, I checked out the rest of the Home Show and the highlights of the show were definitely the Dream Home, the tySTYLE space inspired by Ty Pennington and designed by Adam Berkowitz of Equal Group Design and the HGTV "Little" Project Stage which featured presentations by celebrity hosts throughout the day. See my pictures from both days in the gallery below!

Lined up with hundreds of others for nearly an hour to buy the guys Home Heist book and get it signed and just as I got to the front the last book sold out so I didnt get one after all that!!  But the guys were awesome and even phoned my Mom to wish her a happy birthday!  A big up to the guys from me for going the extra mile, Graham Nelson

LOVED the guys kilts though I hoped they would wear the Canadian flag kilts I saw them wearing on Cityline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Very entertaining seminar though there was absolutely no chance of getting a seat (seemed there was a thousand folk crowded in for their lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and they were up there for an hour or more so my legs were giving in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Great afternoon.  The National Home Show was inspiring and I nearly bought a hot tub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For anyone who missed the gentlemen at the National in Toronto you can also see them this weekend at The Calgary Home and Garden Show where they are appearing.  We had them with us a couple of years back and it was WILD.  Come along and see them this weekend but get there early for their appearances and book signing.  The guys are always mobbed!

Thanks for the heads up - I'll win some extra points for taking my sister along at the weekend; we all adore Justin and Colin in our house.  I already bought their book but I guess I could take it along and get it signed anyway!  

Are there any other celebrities appearing at the show?  Or is is just Justin and Colin?

Best wishes,

Thats gotta be the best show they made so far.  Great to see them do the environmental thing.  About time too.  These guys seem to have a conscience after all.  Really enjoyed the show.  The dudes are class!
