I Got Wood

May 08, 2012 -   For your listening enjoyment I thought I'd go a bit old school with the soundtrack and video to 'Fascination' by Human League... a fav song from the days when I used to tear up the dance floor! Lol. If you're a regular reader of my blog, you know when…

Happy Boy

April 17, 2012 -   It doesn't take much to make me smile, or at least that's what I claim! Today I'm all toothy for the installation of my custom Art Rail from Stylegarage. Stylegarage are the purveyors of all sorts of cool items, including this custom stair railing at my former residence, these…

Avenue Road On Eastern Avenue

December 01, 2010 - Last Saturday, my recently-transplanted Vancouverite pal Steve directed me to a new retailer I had yet to visit. Called Avenue Road, this breath-taking purveyor of fine furnishings is located on Eastern Avenue in a gorgeous restored former Consumer's Gas Building.

The Art Of Displaying Art

November 16, 2010 - Not to be present myself as too ornery, but this blog was originally going to be a rant on one of my many housing pet peeves. As a realtor unlocking the doors of dozens of homes each month, I'm constantly seeing the Number One no-no of showcasing art. What is that you ask,…

Strangers In The Light

September 23, 2010 - Ok, so if you're familiar with my blog you know I get a kick tossing in a little fun here 'n there.

What’s That Glow About You?

September 10, 2010 - I'm all about mood lighting. Yes, I appreciate one should have task lighting for cooking (I don't - I just light extra candles), enough wattage by a vanity to put makeup on (not that I ever do), and spot lights for security (instead I hang bags of tar and feathers with a tripcord above my…

Stairway To Heaven

August 20, 2010 - 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! Released by the English rock band Led Zeppelin in 1971, this breathtaking eight minute song…

Sweet Dreams For Bed Head

August 04, 2010 - Research shows that being well-rested is one of the most essential aspects for healthy balanced living. And yet I have a sneaking suspicion most of us are sleeping on mattresses that have gone past their prime, using pillows which don't compliment the way we rest our weary body and head,…
