Lite Brite

May 17, 2010 - First, not that you asked, but one thing that drives me bonkers are alliterations that also spell the words incorrectly. I consider this awkward attempt to be 'oh so clever' infuriating. In fact, it sends me into a rage. Maybe it's because I lost the school spelling bee in grade five. Regardless, you're guaranteed to…

Black is Beautiful

May 14, 2010 - Many of us have heard Henry Ford's comment about his Ford Model T in 1909 - "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black". I kind of feel that way about houses. While most traditional Toronto housing is constructed of brick and…

When It Rains, It Pours

May 12, 2010 - Sometimes I'm certain there's a correlation between the weather and real estate activity. One week we're sunning ourselves being languid, the next a blustery storm is lashing on our heels and the phone is ringing off the hook. Buyers are buying, while sellers prepare to catch the tail end of…

Spring Blooms New Listings

May 05, 2010 - I am simply beaming for joy this week now that Spring has fully blossomed! Yesterday, after photographing my new listing at Tip Top Lofts (see the Current Promotions Section for the listing 'Modern Bespoke At Tip Top Lofts' offered for $349,000 for something truly special!), I took a stroll along the marina and parks lining Lake Ontario. Nature's symphony…

My Room With A Peek-A-Boo View

May 03, 2010 - I have a love/hate relationship with the CN Tower. On the one hand, I marvel at how it's reigned supreme as the world's tallest structure since 1976 until this year, when Dubai's Burj Khalifa took the crown. On the other hand I despise how there's almost no escaping its presence. No…

Coffee, Tea Or Me Downtown West

April 28, 2010 - In the 1970's, when you were out and about and craving a coffee, it usually accompanied a glazed donut from Tim Hortons. For the majority of Canadians you purchased this before, or after, taking your kids to hockey practice or figure skating. Then came The Second Cup and Timothy's who, in…

Soft Feelings For Hardware

April 26, 2010 - As part of my on-going saga to reorganize my home, I decided to relocate my stereo system. Situated beside the front door of my loft squeezed into a 60s teak buffet so the cabinet doors could never be closed, its cumbersome placement greeted guests the moment they arrived. Needless to say, it didn't provide a very inviting sense…

Chaise For Days

April 23, 2010 - I've always loved my funky 60s chaise. It has such incredible support that when lying on it you feel like you're floating. In fact, if I were a psychologist I would have my patients lie on it while they revealed everything to me. I originally bought the chaise from Phil'z…

The Literal Sale, Literally

April 21, 2010 - Every so often we realtors have the task of selling a property that has some, shall we say, "limitations". From a six lane highway opposite your bedroom window to backyard sinkholes, there are some things that scream "caveat emptor" and make finding a buyer very challenging. Some properties I've been…
