Meredith Heron!
We were graced with Meredith Heron's presences when she visited my students at Humber College North Campus last week! Well what can I say about the principle designer at Meredith Heron Design, the HGTV's Restaurant Makeover extraodinaire, spokes person for design and a mother of a newborn, well what can't I say!! This spit fire of a women is ready to talk and spill the nitty-gitty of the industry and she will make sure the truth is told! The well known red headed out spoken designer, made sure she didn't sugar coat any aspect of the business when talking to my students about the business end of the design world. She definitely opened their eyes to the not so glamorous part of any career, the business back end. She spoke to them about getting jobs and be respectful to those that you are working with and beware of those clients that are just out to get free stuff. The business part of the industry is just as important as the creative side, and you must have a good balance of both. It was very enjoyable and engaging and of course a true pleasure!

They have tons of storage and the pull out shelf for extra counter space always comes in handy!There are few things more luxurious than being served breakfast in bed! 
A side table with a removable tray is the ultimate in double-duty furnishing. A steel and glass table such as this one is perfect for a modern space. 
Adjust the height and you can swing it over to use as a tray in bed! 
Regardless of the size of your home, many of us find storage to be an issue. Designer Jo Alcorn showed us some amazing "secret" storage pieces that would look great in any home!
This bright, stylish living room not only looks great, it's got a wonderful little secret...heaps and heaps of storage! 
Our entire team fell in love with this sofa from Ikea. It's a pull-out bed and contains a TON of storage.
These adorable pillows contain cozy little blankets. Perfect for cuddling up on the sofa.
We love this coffee table from Structube... hidden media storage at your fingertips!
This brilliant little side table can house anything, from brightly coloured blocks for kids to TV remotes - fill it up with ice for a party and use the top as a nifty little tray!
These adorable Candy Pouffs from Calligaris are both stylish and functional and come in a variety of fun colour combinations!
We just LOVE these Transit Mailboxes by designer Steven Hugo-Seinader for Centrifuge! In a grouping of three they provide both artistic appeal and 'hidden' storage in any stylish space.
A sofa table or desk console is ideal such as this one provides drawer storage and room for baskets and boxes underneath.
