BEAUTIFUL HGTV Canada’s Tiffany Pratt brings energy and design expertise to the Calgary Fall Home Show ANDREA COX for creb®now
D
esigner, author, maker and HGTV Canada star Tiffany Pratt hits the main stage at the Calgary Fall Home Show this weekend, where she’ll wow audiences with her down-to-earth design savvy, while imparting tips for creating charismatic and colourful design style. “I’m really going to be talking about transformation,” said Pratt. “Everyone is looking for change – they want to be inspired with colours or experience an update or have something new.” Pratt will be walking show attendees through the process of creating beautiful spaces using simple DIY design projects and pops of colour. She will also be sharing the story of the year-long journey of design transformation she experienced while renovating her home in Toronto’s waterfront Beaches community. “I’m going to be talking about what I lived through – that uncomfortable part of transformation, where the chrysalis becomes the butterfly and then, when it is done, the incredible sense of freedom,” she said.
