F
rom blah bathrooms to cluttered kitchens, homeowners are often encouraged to channel their inner designer. The trouble is knowing where to start. “There are a lot of shortcuts to make it easier,” said Parker Barrow’s Janette Ewen who, with co-owner Jef Hancock, will be among dozens of designer gurus on hand at the BMO Centre Sept. 17-20 for the 32nd annual Home + Design Show. CREB®Now will be presenting Ewen and Hancock when they take the Trail Appliances Main Stage Sept. 18 at 4 p.m., Sept. 19 at 4:30 p.m. and Sept. 20 at noon. Ewen – an interior stylist, television design expert, and former magazine style editor – will be offering up a presentation titled Think Like a Designer. Hancock, who is also a furniture designer and fabricator, will also host a presentation with Ewen titled Around the World with Parker Barrow. “We’ll talk about places we love that have inspired us and how you can take that inspiration and translate it into your space,” said Ewen. More than 30,000 people are expected to attend this year’s Home + Design Show, which will feature more than 350 companies on site.
