August 30, 2010 | Landscape, Travel

There's always some theme running through my blog that may not be evident to most readers, but last Monday I wrote about Toronto's newest Harbourfront Park - Sugar Beach. Now I adore sugar and I love a great beach so those ideas simmered with me all week, until it made…

Pass The Sugar, Be-ach

August 23, 2010 | Design, Landscape

When I was a kid, one of the very first inappropriate jokes I learned went like this: Pass the sugar, Sugar Pass the honey, Honey Pass the tea... Bag! Hysterical at the age of 9, worthy of an eye roll today, eh? I'm sure the title of my blog…

Stairway To Heaven

August 20, 2010 | Design, Furnishings, Renovation, Retail

Ok, I'm sure you know well by now I'm a product of the 70s, so please forgive the 'Stairway To Heaven' reference on a stair railing blog. It simply can't be helped given 'Stairway To Heaven' is, without doubt, one of the greatest rock anthems ever created!

Wonderful Wallcovering

August 16, 2010 | Design, Renovation, Retail, Trades

For a good chunk of my adult life, those who subscribed to the purity of contemporary architecture and design considered wallpaper a bit of a decorating no-no. Or at least it seemed that way to me.

August 12, 2010 | Arts, Galleries

On Wednesday I attended the Royal Ontario Museum's showcase exhibit - The Warrior Emperor and China's Terracotta Army - which runs until January 2, 2011. It was an amazing history lesson - well worth navigating the crowds - but what really tickled me pink was the fourth floor show organized by…

Call Me Bonkers

August 11, 2010 | Books & Magazines, EntertainmentLeisure, Real Estate, Worthy Websites

If you're new to my blog, one of the first things you should know is I am bonkers about Housing, which is probably a good thing given I'm a Realtor. On a typical day my housing obsession begins within moments of waking where, over a pot to tea, I excitedly surf the Multiple Listing Service…

Ok, so here we are in the heat of summer when real estate sales are traditionally their slowest and the media is making dire predictions on where the market is headed. Here's my two cents from the real estate trenches! First, Toronto Life Magazine did a good job wigging us out with their July article called 'Bubble Trouble'.…
