Tricks of the Trade - CABINETRY

17July12

On the other end of the spectrum, white generates a sense of peace, black denotes strength, while gray is the color of independence. A color [...]

To Dream, Perchance to Sleep - Aye! There’s the Rub!

22June12

       
Not exactly as Shakespeare put it, but the point is made. And, while we are not at Hamlet’s juncture of whether “to be or not to be,” it may veritably seem that way. With so many people, especially adults, plagued by lack of sleep each night, insomnia may as well be the plague, for all [...]

Color can unite separate rooms such as an entryway and a living space or even create a consistent theme throughout an entire space. Accents also allow the homeowner the chance to experiment [...]

A Multitude of Little Green Chairs

Hooked on Crochet

29December11

                      
In late December 2010 the iconic Wall Street Bull was covered, without permission, from horns to tail in a raging camouflage crochet. Behind the wild design was an artist named Olek; she explained her creation as a gift to NYC representing a wish for a prosperous year in 2011. The design was removed shortly [...]
