I'm at home watching candice's show and pulled up this blog on the computer. I really enjoy her show. She seems to have a more upscale view of decor. Many of the TV interior design stars seem to base thier designs on trendy colors and items which will be out of vogue next year. I wondered why no one on TV uses antiques in thier decor. Is it too difficult and/or time consuming to find the right items? Her taste (Candice) seems to support an inclusion of antique items. Does she use vintage and antique elements in her own home? Mention of her views on antiques somwhere, sometime in an episode would be interesting. I just went to Europe on a quest for antique items and I realize that finding the right item is a matter of luck and hard searching. I went with the tour group EuropeAntiqueTrip check out thier website if you can. Well, back to the TV to watch the rest of her show!

Well, we can't guarantee the she’ll be able to answer personally, but you can find contact info for Candice and Divine Design at www.divinedesign.tv.

If you're in the Toronto area, apply to be on the show! If not, get inspired by watching Divine Design and browsing our collection of Candice Olson lamps.

I have just purchased a large home.  I have decided to have the main floor renovated.  This includes, and not limited to, the kitchen, the fireplace, the staircase, all trim and opening up of walls to create an open feeling.  I was wondering if Candice provides services other than being on her show?

My family room is the room in which I will require a great deal of help with.  This includes the design of a new fireplace, possible pocket doors and orientation and suggestions on furniture, cabinets....

Please let me know.

Thank you

Lisa
