Crate and Barrel threw open the doors of its third Canadian location to the public today, just in time for the holidays. I attended a preview of the new store last night and it's everything you'd expect from the furniture and housewares retailer. The store is huge! It's 24,000 square feet and it's located just across the street from Square One in Mississauga. (Did you know that Crate and Barrel opened its first store in Chicago in 1962? I had no idea!) It's wall-to-wall style in there - from accessories, kitchen gadgets, tableware and Christmas decorations to furniture, dishware, rugs and lamps. Check out some of my favourite finds: These jewel tone ornaments are gorgeous for the holidays. The brightly coloured cushions are a great way to add colour to your home throughout the year. Lots of lighting! Rustic dishes and these green tartan plates are the perfect addition to a traditional Christmas table. Holiday decor goes glam with silver and white decorations. Love these ivory linen and silk stockings! For more information: crateandbarrel.ca Crate and Barrel, Square One Shopping Centre 95 Square One Drive, Mississauga
