Oh So Excited! Sculpture

College Street / Little Italy, Queen West
Text Alert! OMG. I’m Oh So Excited! I spontaneously indulged myself with a delicious piece of Canadian Sculpture from Troy Seidman at Caviar20. Check out this 26″ steel and enamelled sunburst sculpture hand-made in Quebec in the 1970’s. This isn’t the first piece I’ve purchased from curator Troy. Check out his online shop by clicking HERE for other well-priced drool-worthy…

Termites For Our Anniversary

College Street / Little Italy, Dufferin Grove / Bloorcourt Village, King West / Niagara / Liberty Village, Leslieville/Riverside, Little Portugal, Queen West, Riverdale / Playter Estates, Roncesvalles Village, St. Lawrence Market, The Danforth, Wallace/Emerson & Brockton Village
Recently I was both charmed and horrified when a pair of my fab newlywed buyers gave me a gift as a ‘One year Anniversary’. As I accepted their delicious sweets and treats (Hello Wine!), they saw a look of confusion pass across my face. I couldn’t compute how they had only recently got married…

Sunday Brunch & The Queen West Art Crawl

King West / Niagara / Liberty Village, Queen West
Okay, so I’m not a Cheerio’s fan but I thought this a great pic to chat about Sunday brunch. As a realtor, my action-janet-life-on-the-go doesn’t always allow me leisurely Sundays to drink Mimosa’s and savour waffles with maple syrup and bacon (Hello? Canadian here!). This is because weekends are often booked chock-a-block with appointments unlocking the doors of…

Come Up To My Room Again K?

Design, Queen West, Restaurants
If exploring the Interior Design Show wasn’t enough fun for one this weekend past, going to the ‘Come Up To My Room’ exhibit at The Gladstone Hotel elevated my fun quotient even more! After my pals and I toured the ID Show we grabbed brunch at The Drake Hotel (it is…

Don’t forget to catch The Gladstone Hotel’s (pics from their site) 8th annual “Come Up To My Room” Exhibition this weekend. Love It!

New Bosley Digs & The Drake Cafe On Queen West

Queen West
I really love the new Bosley Real Estate digs located at 1106 Queen West in Beaconsfield Village. For a family run company going strong since 1928, The Bosley’s intuitively know how to keep it fresh and stylin’. It’s one more reason I continue to enjoy operating the urbaneer.com brand under their…

I Love Trinity Bellwoods Park

Queen West
This past Saturday I bee-lined it to back-to-back appointments under ominous clouds threatening to rain. From the start of my 10am appointment til my last at 6pm, I was almost of the verge of a nervous breakdown for all the traffic and delays. With the Gardiner Expressway being closed for maintenance and repair, it reeked havoc on…

Stairway To Heaven

Queen West
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…

Quintessential Stylegarage

Queen West
I’ve always been a fan of Stylegarage, the purveyor of crisp clean-lined furnishings. Over the years I’ve come to depend on them for stainless steel mirrors and smart ambient lighting. They even did a custom stair railing for me…all items I’ll post in future blogs. But those items have to…
