pool o' drool...

Okay this just created that painful feeling you get in your jaws when it's been, like, ten hours since you've eaten and you see something you simply must devour instantly presented in front of you:

"design your life"...

We are planning on attending the Vancouver Home and Interior Design Show:

http://www.vancouverhomeandinteriordesignshow.com

Lots of local and national companies to see. I'm particularily looking forward to viewing exhibits from California Closets, Color My Kitchen, Cookworks, Home Makeover Magazine, Midland Appliance, Nood, Paragon Surfacing, Recycled Patio, Renocon Design Centre, Tiles for Less, and Yaletown Interiors to name a few.

Hope to see you there,

the devil is in the details...

Well, I think the beauty is in the details: in planning ahead. Planning ahead means you can execute those touches that truly "make the space". How delicious is this kitchen's ceiling detail as it pours down the wall and runs into chunky-but-sleek open shelving? If you could clearly read the text the article you'd also see that this inset conceals a vent for the cook-top on the island.

I'm glad to have seen this. Sometimes fun things happen when the co-worker you need to speak with gets stuck on the phone with a client and there is a magazine to leaf through near by...

Have a terrific weekend,
