The Summer of 2015. My Pink Stucco House Renovation Continues....
We did a lot of work on the house this summer with a focus on the exterior. Our plan was extensive including replacing all exterior rot, replacing a few broken gutters and downspouts, as well as re-grading the back yard with new hardscaping. As often is the case, mid-project, the plan changed. T...

What a great idea InteriorDesignLover. I will figure out how to do a video on my new phone and start learning how to do that. Stay tuned.

Factory tour of Gardner Mattress
Ever wonder how a mattress is built? Well, I've seen upholstery built, but never a mattress, so I was excited to get an invitation to Gardner Mattress. They make their own, high quality, hand-crafted mattress in Salem, Mass. They make custom sizes, too. Many of my customers have them, and I reco...
Thanks Terry... I know it's been a long time. Glad I could bring you back to your youth.
The owner told stories about being in the horse hair room. Where they recycled the horsehair. Garner still makes a few models with horse hair. Hope you are well. I am getting back to blogging after an extended stay. New look coming soon too. Hope you are well.

I Have Walls Up and It Is a Good Thing
There are 2 very exciting parts of a project. When the walls come down and you can see the potential and when the walls go up and you can feel the transformation of space. Our walls just went up last week. This week is a big week for progress. The floors are going in, so are the door jams and m...

AbbeyK Gets her Sofa Bed from Avery Boardman
Pinch me....My sofa bed from Avery Boardman is complete and due to ship. OK so I spent a fortune on it, but urban dweller that I am, my living room is my guest room and my sister told me she wouldn't come visit me again if I didn't get a sofa bed. She said she's too old for an air mattress. I la...

This House Is Really a Love Story
About 2 years ago, I met my beloved. We knew pretty quickly that this was "it." And like many other couples who meet in mid-life, there were many things that had to be figured out. One was where to live. At the time, I lived in a renovated, cute condo right in the center of town. It was decorate...

We didn't use hard wood in this application. It's vinyl and it just looks like wood. I have had plenty of clients use wood in a basement. Especially high-end new construction. I don't suggest it but clients don't mind if they have to pull it up, even after being informed about the pros and cons. And they can control for moisture, with a new home, unless Sandy or some other big one hits... :)

Basement Remodel Underway
It's a basement and the starting point is rough. There are a lot of technical issues, beyond my area of expertise. What happens is the contractor tells you what you can do and you work from there. So he came with his subs. Then he brought the structural engineer. See all those poles? They hold...
Thanks Craig. I tell you, it was so weird....

By All Means, Come into my Office to Insult Me!
It's a beautiful fall day. The door is open. The sun is shining. A woman in her 70s pops her head into the door and asks, "Are you bored." I think to myself: this is an odd way to start a conversation. I look up from a desk full of paperwork, "Why do I look bored?" Her response, "Well it's just...

The wonder of the world is that there are so many choices. In real life these are graceful and elegant but certainly not everyone's cup of tea.

Hardware and Lighting: the Jewelery of a Home?
Hardware and lighting can really make a difference in a home's decor. Mostly, I see hardware and lighting as the elegant supporting actor. Otherwise your house looks like: "hi I am a light," everywhere you look. Of course there are times when calling attention to hardware and lighting are called...
Thanks!

AbbeyK's Summer of 2012
This summer was hot and dry with plenty of work. Like any summer, a few breaks here and there. Family visits, a few weekends away. Lots of gardening. Summer evening walks, my favorite. Perhaps the most important part: I got engaged, how delightful! And then Labor Day comes and it's like bam: Fa...
