Well done, aiekon, even your cat goes with your decor! :) (EDIT: Ha, I was typing this at the same time as shelfun!) There's no rule that light furniture needs to go with dark floors and you've proven that. In fact, often dark furniture with dark flooring with a lighter area rug makes it all...

Very nice, Blue Cat. There are different tones to choose from so I think it's very easy to have the flooring that you want.

This is true. I don't think dark flooring makes a space feel smaller than light flooring. I always thought the benefit of light flooring was that it made a space feel brighter and that dark flooring makes a space feel more luxurious. When painting walls that is when they recommend light paint...

Considering we spend a third of our lives in bed and a good bed should last a lifetime, it seems to me that spending $2K on a solid wood storage bed that's manufactured at a factory in Toronto with quality materials is a good value. It's also delivered and setup and easy to move in the future...

Shame about the hallway. I see that an island is optional. With such little space, I'd forego an island. Unfortunately, that leaves very little counter space. Shower only bathroom. A positive is that it is a wide unit and has a balcony just off the wide living space.

I should mention that the storage bed at the Lifestyle Shop (and I expect the same at Positive Space) are made out of solid wood. I can't speak for Eq3, West Elm, or Structube. But if Ikea is made out of fibreboard and particle board then they aren't going to be nearly the same quality. Plus...

There may be issues with all of the designs, but I think Red may have won because there is no emulation of the South Market building like many of the others, the wood and glass pays tribute to the past and to the wants of today (people love tradition, but currently they love open concept/natural...

Here's some pricing on the queen storage beds in case you need some price info while checking out other places before you make it to the Lifestyle Shop... $1,799 w/o headboard, $1,999 w/ headboard, and $2,199 w/ fabric headboard. Workmanship is very good. Rounded corners which is a nice touch...

Good of you to start this thread! I've never been to Lou Dawg's but it always catchs my attention and curiosity. I should try it! Was recently in the neighbourhood and checked out a couple of furniture shops. The Lifestyle Shop's owners are very knowledgeable. I walked away confident and...

Very pleased to hear that Red won. It will really open up the intersection and feel a bit like a town square whereas now it is a bit drab. I'm also glad they didn't choose a design that was reminiscent of the South Market. Because then I worried some people would refer to them as the New...

Rumor has it that a Starbucks could be on the ground floor of the Corktown District condo. I love Starbucks... typing this at a Starbucks right now... but I often take the trip to the DD for it's old time charm and for Balzac's. It's a destination and I hope they'll keep it that way.

Keep in mind that I have nothing against naming a park after an important person or a cultural reference. But don't just slap someone's name on the sign and call it a day. I would love for this park to have one of the Iroquanian names if they were to have installations in the park that pay...

Don't agree because this has already been done so many times to no avail. I say if you're going to slap a name on a sign and label a park then go all out and make that park directly relate to it's name. A cultural name without the culture doesn't fly. If the park is being made for the use of...

Market Wharf is the name of the new condo south of the St. Lawrence Market as there used to be a wharf leading up to the market back in the day. You voted for Merchant's Wharf Park. You're not the only one to mix up the names... see a couple of pages back. :)

New random interior design question... How much do pot lights generally run for? And are they usually offered as an upgrade by developers?

The hall, itself, of the north market is 10,000 sf. The temporary space will be the parking lot south of the south market. No, we don't know for a fact that this parking lot is smaller. But it appears that it is. As you said, maybe it's bigger. We may be jumping the gun assuming Red will be...

Naturally, she wouldn't want less vendors. But the question is can the same number of vendors utilize less space? They'll have to for two years while the new building is being built. Come to think of it, will there be that much useable space lost? While there is more outdoor space as opposed...

The funny thing is that no one has any problem with calling it Sherbourne Park. So why are they even putting this to a vote to begin with? Call it Sherbourne Park!!

That's a good point. I wonder if the space will be used differently so that it would work even with less square footage. Or I also wonder if there is an expectation that there will be less vendors. While being built, the temporary location will be between the South Market and Market Wharf and...

I share this sentiment and voted for Sherbourne Commons (and only Sherbourne Commons). Not interesting (and I really wish they'd just keep it Sherbourne Park), but no one is going to really appreciate the other names. I'm a bit biased towards Merchant's Wharf Park because I have come to...
