There’s a gas fireplace in the living room to enjoy on these cold days and evenings.

The huge (19′ 10″ x 5′ 9″) private outdoor terrace off the den is great for entertaining! There’s a single car garage with inside entry, and a full basement.

Pinterest Predicts the Top Home Trends of 2018

by





Every year we await! So I just read! I didnt until now know that it was a thing. Pinterest predicts:

  • spa bathrooms
  • mixed metals
  • terrazzo
  • statement ceilings
  • bone inlay
  • herringbone pattern
  • colourful doors
  • patterned plants
  • large wal art
  • sage
I have indeed been seeing more and more spa-like bathrooms so this is good. Mixed metals. Good to read as I decided several years ago to mix my metals. I had some brass furniture and was drawn to furniture that had a chrome base plus I like silver and so I put that rule aside some time ago. Terrazzo. I live in a 1927 building. we have terrazzo floors – love, love, love them. Of course, we don’t have terrazzo walls… Bone inlay. Well ok. Herringbone pattern. Seems like a classic to me but ok. Colourful doors. That’s fun. Patterned plants. That’s odd what happens when that trend goes away so too does that plant. Large wall art. Well having practically wall to wall art I do have some large pieces and some small. I’m probably stuck in gallery wall – something I started doing before the trend got big and perhaps will continue after the trend goes. Finally, sage. Yikes I feel bad to have suggested to a client to paint her sage coloured walls off-white. Off course the opposite wall was red which was a little more personal.

These predictions may be right as I remember reading that blue velvet sofas would be in and now I see them everywhere. Or is there a Machiavellian plan affot.


Shepherds of Good Hope

by





This morning at the Shepherds of Good Hope Molly and I helped Denis Shryburt prepare the meal. Typically we are chopping and then serving but today we were in the kitchen preparing chicken and potatoes (someone else did the coleslaw). It was great to cook approximately 250 pieces of chicken and a huge cauldron of potatoes for the mashed potatoes. Neither of us being morning people makes the rise a bit challenging but once were there once were done there is no feeling quite like it.
