Dream Beach House

On this wet Friday I am dreaming about the sun and surf. I found a wonderful remodeled home in Laguna Beach, California for sale. It is 2,470 square feet and all windows facing the Pacific Ocean, so you won't miss a sunset. 
The price tag for this dream is $5.9+ million. I will keep dreaming.. 
Have a great weekend...

Friday Ski Dream!

Whistler  Blackcomb
 Canada

They say on www.whistlerblackcomb.com that the mountain is 100% open. 

A good deal they have going till Feb. 17, 2012 is the 
 Edge Card for Canadian & Washington residents only. It comes pre-loaded with 1, 3 or 5 days and is good all season with no blackout dates.  
5 day pass is $68 per day/adult.
3 day pass is $73 per day/adult.






This ski season has been hard on a lot of local resorts due to lack of snow. If you have a chance to help support your local mountain please get out and ski.

White - My color for 2012

My new favorite color for this year is white. The house we just renovated & selling has all white interior walls. When I walk into the home and see the white walls I can picture furniture, rugs, art, lights and fun pillows filling the space an looking great. But, I have had a few agents say that the house is too white for the buyers. What?? White is so neutral how can you go wrong with white, everything goes with white.....




I found this picture & comment on a blog called Mod Nest.

You really can't go wrong when you outfit your home with white (or neutral) walls, wood floors & some sexy wood furnishings.
Why?
Because, with a space like that, you're free to explore colour, texture & pattern and make a big statement without the fear of "messing up".
There's no worrying about "will this match that". Everything goes with white & wood.

See people I am not the only person in the world that believes this. I wish more people in Vancouver, Washington could finally get it.... Frustrated!!!
