Holly Dyment Design


Today I had the privilege of meeting the lovely and talented Holly Dyment who was kind enough to both invite me into her home AND to view the OM home line. While there, she *gently* reminded me that I needed to update my blog (she's right!) so I thought posting about her would be an awesome way to get back into blogging.

Our shared love of all things Tricia Guild, color and India brought us together on this wonderful spring day. After seeing her amazing house in last month's issue of Canadian House & Home, I was THRILLED to have the chance to see the live show, Holly's house is truly stunning!

Cascading down the walls in her main living space (pictured above) are different but equally vibrant faux finished murals that Holly stenciled herself. The scanned pictures here don't do the walls justice, there is so much depth to the patterns, it's like sitting in a sari shop in India watching the sari walla wave the latest styles. My favorite is pictured above, the classic Indian look of the light blue and purplish pink against the textured gold background reminds me of one of my mom's most precious saris.

I think the egg chair is the most versatile piece in the room. I love the way the chartreuse color both ties in with the wall color and accents the spicy reds, fuchsias and pinks in her living area. I also appreciate the modern touch of the egg chair and how it ties in with the zebra wood floors.

Holly's kitchen is so bright and fun! She hand painted the dining table herself using an inexpensive table as her base. It looks amazing and it's one of a kind!

The entryway itself is quite stunning but I was really thrilled by the staircase and walls, green and blue is one of my favorite combinations. I don't remember the pink bedroom but I love all things pink, especially that headboard!

The walls in the bedroom are stunning. The headboard has a similar shape as the one above but is done in a different way. It's so elegant and classic and ties in well with the look and feel of the room.

Sanj and I are planning a trip to Morocco and the wall on the right reminds me so much of Riad website that I love for it's colors and patterns, Dar Cordoba.

There were other parts of the house that aren't pictured but are equally as stunning. Holly is a kindred spirit indeed and I feel so privileged to have met her and spent time with her in her lovely home.

Holly, thanks for reminding me to update my blog!

Middleton Row Collection

Even though our trusty photographer Darren is heading down from Montreal on Thursday to take some shots of our new line, I just couldn't wait to post a sneak peek so I begged Sanj to take some shots... I think they turned out pretty nice!

Loreto Uniform


Xavier's Primary


The Middleton Row Collection, named to honor the top schools in Kolkata (more on that later), consists of luxurious 350tc cotton sateen reversible duvet covers and pillow shams along with cotton canvas pillow covers, reversible placemats and napkins in four different styles. All of the products in the new line are hand silk screened by artisans in Kolkata, India. The result is a full line of luxurious, modern, colorful, fresh and bold products to help make your home an OM home!

Stay tuned for more information regarding pricing and availability!

House and Home


What a treat to come back from a trip to New York City and read the article on our Montreal pad. We were really thrilled to be a part of such an amazing magazine. Thanks! Pick up a copy of the February Issue of Canadian House and Home or read our feature here.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank En Route magazine and LDB Interior Textiles Magazine for their features on OM home late last year. We were so excited to have our table linens flying all over the world in Air Canada's En Route magazine, check it out here.

We also really enjoyed being interviewed by the lovely and super friendly Candace Sheppard over at LDB. The article was awesome and we were thrilled to be in the same article as so many talented people! See for yourself right here.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from all of us at OM home!

2007 was an amazing year for us... two high profile tradeshows, almost 40 pieces of press, over a dozen new stores, exceeding our sales targets. WOW, we feel incredibly fortunate to have such an amazing opportunity to build our business. We're truly living our dreams!

We're even more excited for 2008 and incredibly thrilled to finally have our bedding line (almost) ready to go. The design will be similar to the ceiling design from our old apartment except more patterned. Needless to say, we think it looks pretty awesome. We'll be sure to post preview pictures up as soon as we can!



We're also super excited to be featured in February's issue of Canadian House and Home magazine. It's a whole spread on our old apartment and will be a great keepsake for us. I'll be sure to post the pictures as soon as it hits newstands! Now if we only had time to get our new place looking good...

We're also getting ready for the NYIGF tradeshow from February 1-5, come visit us at booth 5506 in the Handmade section!

Stay tuned for a sneak preview of our new line in the coming weeks!
