What have you done for us lately?
My first byline for DL is “Tipping Point,” a story about the
Dundas West shop Knife. (p. 104)What did you learn from your visit to the store?
I didn’t know that niche boutiques like this one – devoted
exclusively to Japanese knives – existed. Speaking retrospec-
tively, my knife skills are probably not as good as I thought,
now that I know there are techniques to abide by. I’m looking
forward to learning more.What have you done for us lately?
I got to be a voyeur in artist Anna Church’s gorgeous and
newly renovated Victorian in Riverside. (p. 73)What’s the secret to marrying traditional and modern
design elements?
Anna’s home has a very organic feel. There are so many
curved lines, from the crescent moon sofa to a custom white
oak daybed in the dining room. Her ability to mix textures
and aesthetics – with pops of colour from plants and artwork- brings it all together.
What have you done for us lately?
I investigated the next generation of Toronto’s weird and
(hopefully) wonderful public spaces. (p. 45)Where’s your go-to green space in the city?
Sorauren Park. It’s not much more than a patch of grass and
a baseball diamond, but there’s a rare intimacy. And every
November 1st, the neighbourhood puts out yesterday’s
jack-o’-lanterns for the pumpkin parade. It’s whimsical fun –
a quality in short supply here.Stefan Novakovic
