Good Rental Karma
A lot of you will think I'm nuts but I'm going to share my latest project with you anyway. The bathroom tiles in my soon to be former apartment are original to the 1952 building and look it thanks to years of paint splatters and God knows what else. I knew that an easy fix would be to give the floor a once-over with my favorite paint stripper, a biodegradable, green product (if you can believe it) available through Lee Valley (below). What a difference!

Friday, October 16, 2009
Canadian decorative arts junkie Troy Seidman has taken the plunge and launched Caviar 20, an online clearing house for his own 20th century finds. Seidman is still building his inventory but the pieces he's displaying share a high taste level and reasonable prices in Canadian dollars.

Sincere thanks to all of you who filled out my readership survey; it has given me a much better picture of who I'm writing for.

Half of those surveyed say they've purchased something after seeing it on styleNorth. Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence!

Saturday, March 28, 2009
Last week's New York Times Style magazine did a little feature on Dubai, which included the following innocuous reference: "3 pm. Explore the baroque kitsch at Memoires, a fashion and decor shop filled with hidden rooms. Wafi mall; memoires.ae." Well, you know I just had to surf on over there and all I can say is . . . jumping jehosaphat! I've never seen a site quite like it. Weird, creepy, fascinating, a virtual Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. No, they're not real Canadians, but they sure as heck are decorating. Don't miss the splash page!
