Have you checked out any artist studios? If you haven't yet, check out a few of your favorites. It runs one more weekend. If you don't have time to go around, you can have a taste of each artist's art at Blue Horse Gallery downtown.

We went to David Ridgway's on Saturday. How I loved his paintings. The vibrant color of local scenary and architenture. I really had hard time leaving his studio. Some day...

Bringing outside in

Bringing outside in adds so much to the room. If you don't have amazing water, mountain or city view to speak of, no worries. Nice tree or a little side yard view is wonderful too.

New addition

I brought this home a while ago because it looked so sad and lonely sitting in a curb all alone.

I gave a good sanding, a couple of coat of Benjamin Moore elephant tusk, put Minwax Wipe on poly to protect the top, changed the hardware. Voila!

I'm using it as a bed side table so I can put all the magazines, books, computer and whatever I want by the bed.
Sorry for the grainy photo that my phone took. I dropped my Nikon and broked the lens and I think I broke the camera too as it is not working with the other lens either. I'm still so mad at myself.

My first log cabin listing

A good friend of mine is selling a house. I had a previlege of staging their home for professional photoshoot yesterday.  I wanted the house to look the best so I volunteered to do the staging last minute. I can't help it sometimes. It was kind of impromptu so it wasn't really well thought out or anything but still, the difference is so ovbious. It is a log cabin and I wanted it to exude the charm and warmth of everything this house has to offer. My favorite part of this house is radiant heat everywhere and the wok room. I usually like open floor plan but having a separate place for high temperature cooking is divine. Gotta love that. It is a private heaven situated in 21 acre lot!

Photographer, Lyle from Jansma did a great job capturing all of the nice features.
Seller did a great job declutterring everything. If you can not afford staging or professional photography when you sell a house, one thing you must do is decluttering and cleaning.

This house will go on the market tomorrow! I'm so excited.
