After 8 years as editor of Canadian House & Home magazine, Suzanne Dimma is stepping down, to be replaced by Beth Hitchcock who has had a career as a freelance writer and executive editor at two of Canada's major consumer magazines -- Chatelaine and House & Home as well as being published at such magazines as Style at Home, Cottage Life and Fresh Juice; in an item on her blog, she said

"Beth estimates that she’s written 75+ design articles in the last five years. Related skills include: knowing the difference between a kilim and a dhurrie, reciting the Farrow & Ball paint deck by heart and spotting Eames knockoffs at 50 paces."

Suzanne Dimma had been the home design director for St. Joseph Media's Wish, Gardening Life and Canadian Family in 2008 when she took up the position of editor at Canadian House & Home.
