It was a morning full of design, decorating and Decorium! Lucy Soloman was the lucky lady to win the $10,000 Decorium shopping spree. She'll have access to the entire store to update her "tired" furniture and finally get a coffee table in her living room! Later, we had Tommy Smythe, co-host of Sarah's House, and Mark Challen of House & Home Media in studio to chat about the Interior Design Show that's going on now. Taking place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre all weekend long, the show will feature the "fabulous" Tommy and Mark on Sunday at 1:30pm to chat about big ideas for small spaces - very appropriate for downtown condo dwellers. The Interior Design Show also has tons of tips on how you can make your kitchen unique, or as Tommy puts it, "pee on that hydrant." We've all been hearing that tangerine is the colour for 2012 so if you're curious how that looks on furniture, the IDS has tons of examples! And of course, Marilyn will be at the IDS on Sunday to chat with Lynda Reeves about finding your style without losing your cool. See http://www.interiordesignshow.com/sunday for more info.
Have you ever gone "under the laser" before? Laser treatment is the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure, but how can you be sure it's being administered safely? CTV's Beverly Thomson called in this morning because she's doing a special assignment for W5 on the potential dangers of laser hair removal - ie. permanent burns and scars. In "Don't Get Burned," W5 sends two female mystery shoppers around to various salons, while talking to victims of laser treatments gone wrong. Beverly's report airs tomorrow at 7pm on CTV and CTV Mobile.
Today's Friday Morning New Music was by the British/Irish boy band The Wanted. Listen to their song "Glad You Came" on http://www.chumfm.com and let us know what you think of it!
After qualifying this morning at 7:20, Luba Kostevski of Maple had some serious luck on her side... her name was drawn soon after to win a seat to Breakfast in Barbados! If you tried qualifying this morning and couldn't get through - here's something that may bring a smile to your face. All weekend long, we'll be qualifying listeners to win a trip for two to the 54th Grammy Awards in L.A.! We'll make the winning call Monday morning, as well as draw another winner for Breakfast in Barbados.
Enjoy the wintery wonderland that is to come this weekend... the good news is that things should warm up for next week!
