Clarendon at peace
Clarendon at peace. Just around the corner is a Christmas tree welcoming this festive season. The choice of oak panelling was a zero sum design game. Walls can often be built over older walls to clean up lines both figuratively and literally. It was a no brainer to...
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an all green restaurant before.
Balls out design requires suspension of fear and doubt. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an all green restaurant before and there may be a legitimate reason that floated in my mind to spook me every week on this job: green gives us a sickly pallor when misused. At the...
I’m known to pick a book by the cover
Luxe Magazine has really elevated the game in the Capital of Canada with their Christmas Cover. Absolutely love the chocolatey canines and crisp pops of red. Over the next days I hope to entice you to buy and share the issue as well as visit the Clarendon with my...
Loving one’s self is a blood sport
Wouldn’t you know yours truly has made a Joni Mitchell splash in Luxe Mag. Being a centerfold at my age is harrowing but I will give you all the tiny ways to get through it: first, put lots of clothes on; secondly choose mostly black; thirdly have a nice editor to put...

I will always look back at this entryway as the standard I shall forever more try to meet. No matter how small a space you have. Make it count
These books are sentinels to my spirit
Remember the childhood book where this very large family of bears each lived in tree trunks with different interiors? I would pore over it page by page stressing over the fact I couldn’t pick out a favorite and the fact that Henrietta was the only bespectacled bear...
Top of the world interrogation, I hear you whispering my name
One of my favorite shots for my L.A. story. Walking into the Arbor store right before the Venice Pier as a skatehead is tantamount to plopping a six year old kid in a candy store. My predilection is for a bamboo deck and Swiss Bones bearings. Longboard naturally. I...
Luxe Magazine has me entrenched in their pages as their very own “Road Warrior” (continued…)
