Lofty Ideas (1999)

Lofty Ideas is a design series that features lofts located in major cities throughout Canada, the United States and Britain. Each half hour program profiles lofts with unique and imaginative design solutions for open concept living. The program is the only television series dedicated to the trend in loft living and urban renewal. Every episode features three distinct lofts. In each loft the unique design, style, colour, layout, accessories and furnishings are reviewed and discussed. In the third feature we also focus on the lifestyle of the loft owner. Individuals such as painters, sculptors, photographers and designers take us through their lofts and show us the environment that fuels their creativity. The series is hosted by Katherine Stone, an enthusiastic interior designer who has been running her own design firm for over twenty years. Katherine guides the viewer through the program, conducting interviews with owners and designers who offer advice on how to turn large unobstructed spaces into unique urban lofts.
