Elana Safronsky, Managing Editor

Elana Safronsky is a lifestyle writer and managing editor of HGTV.ca Elana's childhood preoccupations included writing and decorating -- seriously -- so writing and editing for HGTV.ca is a sort of homecoming. She loves her 100-yr old home in downtown Toronto, as it is the bearer of all her style and decorating obsessions (she has been known to over shop at vintage stores and antique markets, filling her basement with 'projects' that may never happen). Her style inspiration includes all things vintage -- from furniture, to dishes, to clothing and accessories; uniquely converted living spaces; clever storage solutions and all things Art.

Mia Shulman, Acting Managing Editor

Mia Shulman is a lifestyle writer and acting managing editor of HGTV.ca. She's a self-professed commitment-phobe when it comes to designing, prone to redecorating on a whim and falling head-over-heels for vintage finds and lust-worthy furniture. When not on the hunt for unique pieces (that she admittedly has no space for), she can be found with a staple gun and fabric in hand, conquering many a DIY project.

Having gutted her previous home in Washington, DC, executed a complete outdoor redesign of her home in Toronto, as well as completed an inside-out remodel of her Miami Bayfront condo, Rana relishes the process of re-imagining a space, leaving a distinct stamp on every design.
