After catching a lovely and much needed rest at the historic Twin Gables Bed and Breakfast we set off to explore the immediate neighbourhood, the restaurant area on 4th Street. We were going to walk, but considering I had been really sick with an aweful chest cold in the last few days, venturing out into the cold evening air had me a little leery. Henry from the Twin Gables was really kind to offer us a drive a few blocks up to a restaurant called Il Giardino, one of the places that had come highly recommended for this area from Tourism Calgary. We entered a Mediterranean-looking restaurant that was just packed with people. We sat down at a cozy table and had a chance to spend some time with the...

Time is the major element that gets overlooked in most residential interior design projects shown on television. The actual implementation of the job is shown at fast forward speed. By the time 22 minutes are up, the jobs is tied up nicely. You rarely see the designer sourcing fabrics or furnishings. The trades are always available. Budget is never discussed. There should be a warning: Don't try this at home! Pandering to the whims of socialites possessed of too much money for their own good may have typified yesterday's interior designer. Their clients' most noticeable characteristic was idle time. Times change. Today's residential interior designer's typical clients have a complete shortage of...

If you think interior design clients in the high-end don't pore over their budgets, think again. A background in accounting might be the last place you would expect to look for a key element of managing an interior design company, but interior design is as much a matter of numbers as it is colors. The majority of residential designers I work with have virtually no knowledge or training, and quite often, no sense for numbers. Colors they are great with. Numbers? Well, they didn't get into the biz for that. I have given dozens and dozens of design presentations to clients who came to me to take on a residential interior design project. The projects have ranged from single rooms needing high thread...

Would you rent guests for Christmas dinner? Well, maybe a beer guzzling brother-in-law comes to mind for whom a replacement would be considered. But mostly the festive season is about feasting before fasting, and rubbing elbows with those who are related rather than rented. If goodwill and good company sets the tone for formal Christmas dining, fine linen sets the table. Paper weight doesn't come close to genuine and you returning rented linen washes away memories. When you look back, years down the road, through albums (or jpegs!), the faces around the table grow older, somehow more familiar and unfamiliar with age. You don't rent stuff like this, you buy right into it. And that includes the table...
