Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting Gladstone Hotel's annual alternative design event Come Up To My Room 2015 (CUTMR 2015), which runs in conjunction with the Toronto Design Offsite Festival (TODO) and the Interior Design Show (IDS).

The Gladstone Hotel is one of my favourite places in Toronto, and CUTMR is one of the reasons. I loved CUTMR 2014 and this year's event has surpassed my expectations. From the thought provoking to the tantalizing, CUTMR 2015 has it all. A definite must see!
