The second issue of Dan Cooper’s Lakeshore Living will be out beginning this week and it is bigger and better than the spring’s inaugural issue.

The fall issue is loaded with great reading – everything from a spectacular renovation in South-East Oakville by celebrity designer Ramsin Khachi to an incredible California getaway offer by the Napa Valley Crush Co-op. If you like California wines, you will want to see what the Napa Valley Co-op has to offer.
My friends at Budds’ BMW have teamed up with the Napa Valley Co-op to host an exclusive wine tasting event that will include some exceptional “cult” wines from the Napa region. Also likely to be taking part in this special event is Crescent Hill Gallery, which has an extensive and impressive offering of artwork. We hope to see a small glimpse of their collection at Budds’.

Matt Dunigan is this issue’s celebrity profile and I want to thank my good friend for taking time out of his busy schedule to be interviewed and photographed for this article. Matt has suffered several concussions in his career as one of the CFL’s leading quarterbacks and he reveals to us what will become of his brain. You’ll have to read the magazine to find out.

Appleby College is celebrating a milestone this year – its 100th anniversary – and we provide a glimpse into the rich history of this prestigious school. The school is also planning its Centennial Gala on May 12th next year and this promises to be bigger and better than ever. It’s one social function you don’t want to miss.

Lakeshore Living also offers some practical advice for homeowners. Concept Lighting Galleries is one of the area’s top lighting stores with lighting solutions for every home. They have a wide selection and can satisfy any tastes from contemporary to traditional to transitional. Their expert advice and attention to customer service make them the number one lighting store in the area. And today they have three locations in Mississauga, Oakville and Burlington.

For window treatments, inVU Drapery has the experience and expertise to help you create windows that complete a room in elegance and style. There is more to choosing the right window treatment than meets the eye. Fabrics, colour, patterns and hardware all make a statement and so the professionals at inVU can help you make the choices that will create the right balance in your home.

And last but not least, the magazine has an impressive parade of high-end homes for sale in my Prestige Collection. These are homes that are $1.5 million plus, and Lakeshore Living is just an example of how I’m finding innovative ways to market homes for my clients.

Lakeshore Living’s mission is to bring interesting and informative stories to your doorstep. If you want a copy of the magazine, feel free to call my office.
