I’m Still Here
OK so it’s been FOREVER since I posted anything. To be honest, I’ve been too lazy
I ran across a local blog today with some great photos of the area and I wanted to share them with everyone. Chattanooga is a beautiful place!! Thanks to local artist Staci for taking the time to post the photos and be sure to check her jewelry out on her website. Gotta support local artists!
A Comedy About Real Estate
Just ran across this movie on Amazon. I have to have it!!
The trailer is a hoot and I need a good laugh!!
Solution for Tiny Spaces
With all the tiny condos on the market now, space is at a premium. Along comes Grandma’s revenge, second place winner in the International Kitchen + Environment Design Competition.
Billed as the "ultimate example of space efficiency" Grandma’s revenge is a unit that transforms into a full kitchen and dining area for four thru a series of slides and latches. Perfect for the tiny condos that have popped up.
Grandma’s revenge is a new interpretation of a good old kitchen dresser. And so it’s like the grandma herself: a real multifunctional talent.
