Don’t you love the magic and romance of a ship’s cabin? Spaces like this served as the inspiration for my most recent renovation. Although I am two screws and a contractor short to have my gorgeous new custom stainless steel art rail from www.stylegarage.com installed on the main floor, my home loft home…

When I embarked on the renovation journey of my Movie House loft I, well, reached for the stars. This place is my version of a bespoke hotel residential suite. Executing a deluxe reno to the highest calibre and standards is not easy. Perfection is in the details. And given there are still a few more…

Oh My! Getting the final finishing details executed at my Movie House Loft Renovation has slowed to a tortoise crawl. It’s taking forever for the glass railings, the mirror backsplash, and some of the custom built-in add-ons to be installed. Sigh. Once that’s done I’ve got to get the painter in to…

After seven months of a substantial renovation to my Movie House Loft, chronicled in this very blog starting with the Yucky Part of Renovation, I am ninety-five percent away from completion. Wow! It’s so close to the finish line all I want is for it to be done. But it’s…

Do you remember the Calgon commercials from the 70s? For the past two days, from sunrise to sunset, there has been a revolving door of trades at my Movie House Loft. It’s exciting and exhausting at the same time. Hopefully, next week all the major install will be complete. I’m completely spent…

Back in January, I closed the sale of my Button Factory loft after thirteen years of ownership. Click HERE for a peek at my past. I then moved into a breath-taking 3000 square foot Vintage Annex Apartment four-month sublet: Click HERE for a look at my Home Sweet Temporary Home. All while embarking on a total…

Today I’d like to share the happy conclusion of my Trinity-Bellwoods Mini-Manse listing. To begin, I’d like you to know Joanne, my Seller of Trinity-Bellwoods Mini-Manse, is an amazing dream client. From the moment she contacted me in February to share some happy news that would necessitate the sale of her first Home, Joanne entrusted me to advise, develop and co-execute a plan of action…
