I'm intrigued enough to drop in the next time I'm in town, but seeing as the prices are beyond my reach, it may not matter.

hooray! i'll be sure to check it out

A welcome addition for sure!

yes yes yes! I love their stuff and they are a great addition here. Of course I was also desperate to see Muji and when I saw it the night of the Apartment Therapy party at henrybuilt I was incredibly disappointed. I hope the same thing doesn't happen here too.

Personally, not really since King Street West = I'll never be able to afford it. I probably don't even have the right clothes to wander around there ;) But then I 'm reminded of what my mum always says: it's free to look.

As an aside, are there any plans for an Apartment Therapy Canada? It would be nice to read the occasional discussion about AT in a Canadian context, i.e., sources, services, etc.

Excellent! Perhaps this will lead to easy shipping options for us on their website? I just want to click and send and not have to dial a number to order.

If I remember correctly, Toronto was in the running when AT considered expanding a year or two ago... California got a second site instead.

The only better news would be "AT Toronto"!

all for AT canada... there's a lot of gorgeousness to be explored here, and a lot of tiny apartments too.

and wow! dwr! i'd personally more like a target, c&b, and a number of other big box stores to be up here... (but honestly especially target.). dwr is a good start though!

yes - AT Canada!!!! Count me as a vote.

Cool... and within walking distance from my loft! It will help fill the gap when Caban closed... sigh. Olya, C&B arrived in Canada last year... in Vancouver, then Calgary and coming to Toronto (Yorkdale) this year. And I agree... Target would be a nice addition too!

That there is no AT Toronto (yet) is a mind-boggling shame!

AT Canada would be awesome!

Urbanmark...we can walk there together! I have a 500 square foot loft on King West that would be a good "small space" launching point for AT Toronto. And we can talk about how much we long for the days of Caban. Le sigh...

Anyone going to the DWR launch party March 13?

Yes please an AT Canada!
I will check out DWR but continue to love the leslieville shops.
