In a conversation with a friend who was a former prison guard, I used a banana peel as an exemplar of something unlikely to cause harm (other than slipping on it of course). My friend quickly info...
Ah, my friend Omar the shelving unit. He lives at IKEA and costs about $60 CDN and he stacks!
Although, on closer inspection, these ones look like Metrowire shelving - much more exp...
I'm gonna say thanks, but no thanks. Sell them on E-bay and give the proceeds to a children's charity or an AIDS service organization. Keep Michael Jackson's impact and love for humanity going st...
Hey Kim, I love your collections! I always start with the pics and read the text after - I was getting a real Canadian vibe from the pics before I knew you were in Ottawa- weird, eh?
These heads are illustrations from a children's book called Milly Molly Mandy. I got a copy as a gift when I was a child.
The one on the left is Milly-Molly-Mandy which is short for M...
It's one of those bygone things that really builds community in neighbourhoods - it needs to comeback we need way more of that stuff now.

I think we have lost sight of the point of architecture if we cannot applaud this home. Is it not meant to support human potential? What could be more lovely than children making music and art in...
I have the same dilemma and have not decided what to do yet. Have you checked out Umbra for more contemporary bending rods for bay windows? Properly hung (right rod, right height, right fullness ) ...
Krister - that was no dis on Tom Corbett's place (props for knowing the name of Eddie's father - you could win trivia contests with that one!) I was referring to sitting on a couch like that watchi...

Why I have that very floorplan (complete with alcove in dining room) in Toronto! I call my apartment building a Toronto Tenement. I wondered if the alcove was originally for a Murphy Bed?

Some of us spend a lot of time creating, turning our visions into reality - we have that privilege. Others are blessed to be clear headed enough to dream in constrained circumstance. Hopefully al...

Hey - I used to live at 166! I took it for the view - the Central Park West of Toronto - a hidden gem. Shhhh don't tell anyone.
I guess Jesus really does love the little children, either that or he wants their heads for craft projects.
