Elte Revamp + Giveaway

Hello there!  Happy Friday!

This weekend (May 11 and 12th), Elte is celebrating their new look after a two-year renovation.  New departments like children and baby have been added as well as expansions to existing departments including rugs, furniture, accessories and lighting.  Elte is a family-owned, 94 year-old retailer of all things pretty for the home. Want to see?

Now if that doesn’t make you want to visit, I don’t know what will! So join the celebration this weekend (80 Ronald Ave, Toronto) and while there, you can enter a contest for a chance to win one of five $1,000 Elte gift cards.  They will draw the winner on May 19th. There will be complimentary coffee and treats from the revamped Elte Café this weekend. (Whenever I visit, I always stop by the cafe for a vegetarian panini – so yummy!)

Elte is also providing one Decor Happy reader with a $100 gift card. Visit the store over the weekend (or by May 19th) and tweet a photo of yourself with your favourite item.  Make sure you mention @Elte, @vanessajfrancis and #ElteRevamp in your tweet and then leave a comment here as well.  I’ll select the winner the morning of May 20th.  Good luck!

Happy weekend and happy shopping!

  3. I SO wish we had Elte in Ottawa! And West Elm and Pottery Barn and, and, and..... our options for home decor stores here are pretty sad :-(

    I'm so in love with Elte's area rugs. If I was in TO this weekend, I'd tweet a picture of myself beside one of the rugs! Except I don't have an iPhone, so I actually couldn't tweet a picture even if I was there. So I obviously have NO chance of winning the giveaway in any way, shape, or form! ;-)

    Crawling back under the rock I live under.... ;-)

    Have a great weekend, Vanessa!

  5. Hey, Vanessa! I'm considering upgrading the bedroom carpets in my new condo. Just tweeted a selfie from Elte with a classic ivory herringbone pattern. I love it and it's really reasonably priced. I may have to make the upgrade if I win the gift card ;)

  6. Vanessa I tweeted you a photo of me with a sexy chic headboard and mirror from Elte. Both items would be perfect for my bedroom!

  7. Hi Vanessa!

    Had a stroll around the store today with my dear friend Kim. What a gorgeous new space! We got lost in the lighting department and were both inspired in the upstairs space. Love the X sconce in polished chrome. Just sent out a tweet of my shopping buddy in front of the beautiful wall of sconces.
    Hope you are enjoying the long weekend.
