h h ng Meal inspiration When it comes to entertaining, Shelagh starts with a single dish. "It is usually one recipe pulled from a magazine, book or restaurant that gets me inspired, like Campagnolo's crispy chickpeas with chilies and mint. I then build upon a theme, in this case Italian culture, and it carries through everything I do." Shelagh likes to keep tableware and accessories simple and prefers white linen, crystal and lots of glass. She brings in hits of colour based on the season. A spring brunch is complete with an apple-green tea tray by West Elm, aqua platter and fruit bowl by Provide and linen tea towels by Ratatouille Designs (for complete sources see page 60). A nod to the north Shelagh is a big fan of Scandinavian design, both for its playfulness and functionality. "I love Nordic design. The crispness of it and the bright colours work well with our B.C. climate," says Shelagh. Numbered Eames mugs from Homewerx, a blue-green print cushion by Marimekko and blue and green Hopsack cushions from Pottery Barn evoke the European North.
