About

 
Arren Williams is the name, and I'm a stylist, editor and trend reporter. You'll catch my work regularly popping up in print in the likes of the National Post, House & Home and elsewhere. I'm also a guest expert on Citytv's CityLine, and you can occasionally find me on HGTV as well as on ABC 7 News in Chicago.

To keep things fun I've tapped a couple of friends - Julia Black and Jenn Hannotte - to contribute their views on design too. Enjoy!

Spring has sprung 

Right now I'm sitting in Vancouver, amazed at all the blossoms on the cherry trees, stunned by gorgeous tulips in full bloom and gobsmacked by a rather warm breeze that doesn't have any clue what 'wind chill' is. Yep, it'll be short lived, since I'm only here for a day on the last stop of a whirlwind tour for Graham & Brown wallpaper (I was in Calgary yesterday, and Edmonton the day before). A major shout out to all the great folks I've met along the way, including everyone at Breakfast Television and Shaw TV !

Spring is definitely springing, and not just in balmy Vancouver. These gorgeous snaps of what HomeSense is offering up this coming Spring and Summer are a lovely taste of warmer days to come and have a bright and fresh vibe to them, oh, and they were shot by my talented mate, photographer Angus Fergusson. I'm totally loving those antiqued metal chairs and the knit ottoman (they're definite hot picks), as well as the smashing shadow box framed butterflies!

Fab collection! I too love the metal chairs and that wallpaper in the first pic is pretty funky as well. Seeing as my local store is only 3 mins away, I think I'll pop there now...! Have a great weekend, Arren!

Great shots. Is Homesense carrying Tolix chairs, or are they knockoffs?

love that little golden side table. Could be a spread in Living Etc or Elle Decor... Very nice

Hey KJ, Having had a closer look I'd say those chairs are more 'in the style of' than knock-offs. They're available at HomeSense in an antiqued zinc finish, with quite a rustic feel, and are meant for indoors more than out, as opposed to the Tolix which comes in gazillion finishes and can live just about anywhere!

Oh I just love the butterflies! We had to make our own paper ones, as we do not have any collection of real ones. They worked quite well also..!
