An Unfinished Vignette
Since you have shown love for my unfinished vignettes, here is another one. Curtains are not up, chandelier is in flux, and my bespoke coffee table of my design from a sculptural piece of cedar driftwood I picked out from my lake, has yet to replace these lovely ones...
From Me to We
My bliving room is still not done, and now, only God knows if and when it ever will be, and when or if that will ever matter to me again. Self Isolation is really an eye opening exercise. It is as if Mother Nature put us in timeout to think about what we have done,...
An arch is an arch is an arch
An arch is an arch is an arch said no one to someone in particular. And yet arches have inundated our thirsty souls and spaces with their feminine shape and mystic form. In French one would say arches inspire « le Recueil ». A gathering of meditative and peaceful...

Hundred years of alterations means one hundred years of layering
Wouldn’t you know that one hundred years of alterations means one hundred years of layering. It takes guts to filet a heritage house. To find the delicate bones beneath the aggregated flesh. Yet this is where the beauty is oft hidden away. There may have been a trying...
Have you had the red velvet waffles at the Clarendon yet?
Have you had the red velvet waffles at the Clarendon yet? As I sit here in Boston my Sunday brunch game is dreaming a little dream of the berry soft waffles coated in whipped cream and fruit coulis.
My mood boards for the “Paper-mill Safari” concept
My mood boards for the “Paper-mill Safari” concept are shaping up. I give you two of these for illustration. Words of encouragement much appreciated. Building permits are being submitted after being approved by heritage and now it is really down to spatial...
