Sunday
In the mood for some caffeine? Or maybe wired is too energetic and you’re in the mood for slow sustenance? Get yourself down to Gravity in Inglewood (909 10 Street SE) for some sort of morning beverage. Whether it’s a cup of tea courtesy of the Tea Traders down the street, or a double Americano half full, you’ll be starting your Sunday off right.
Maybe interior design inspirations are more your game this Sunday… yet you’re uninspired by the ideas streaming to your home. Get on up and get on down to the Calgary Home + Design Show, where the W Network’s Jonathan and Drew Scott, the Property Brothers, and our favourite bachelorette/design show maiden, Jillian Harris, current host of Love It or List It Vancouver, will be on hand to provide inspiration and innovations for homeowners. Tons of local talent will be present as well as the dynamite show rocks BMO Centre (20 Roundup Way SE) all weekend.
