Matt Hamill
Following his second loss in a row, at UFC 133, former "Ultimate Fighter" competitor Matt Hamill has decided to retire from the sport of mixed martial arts.
The Ohio native made the official announcement on his website on Monday.
"Today is a sad day for me. After six years and 13 fights in the UFC, I'm ready to hang up my gloves and retire from this amazing sport," he wrote.
Hamill was finished by up-and-coming prospect Alexander Gustafsson in the second round of their bout at UFC 133 on Saturday night in Philadelphia.
The former collegiate wrestler stepped in on short notice after dropping a unanimous decision to Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 130 back in May.
Hamill admits that he was close to making this same call after that fight, but opted to give it one more go, but it just didn't go his way.
"The UFC has been extremely good to me and given me an opportunity to make a great living. That exposure has allowed me options outside the Octagon as well. I just don't have it in me to fight anymore and my last two performances have shown that," Hamill said.
"I was ready to make this decision after UFC 130 but my friends, family, coaches, and most importantly my daughter encouraged me to give it one last chance. My career has been plagued by injuries starting with 'The Ultimate Fighter' and disrupted my training ever since.
"There hasn't been even one training camp where I've been able to train without training around an injury. I have not been kind to my body and it has nothing left after 28 years of non-stop competition. It's time to finally give it a rest."
Hamill spent his entire career with the UFC minus his first fight as a professional.
More MMA
He retires with a 10-4 overall record, including nine wins in the UFC.
"I can't continue to fight without having the hunger and desire to do so. I can't let my performances reflect on my coaches who are the best in the world and the reason I've made it this far," said Hamill.
"I have fallen in love with the sport of mixed martial arts and I will continue to coach at our gym, Mohawk Valley MMA, alongside my teammates and help the next generation of fighters make it to the UFC. I also look forward to continuing my business ventures outside the UFC including 'Hamill,' the movie based on my life story set to be released this fall."
The former "Ultimate Fighter" went on to say thank you to all of the people that have helped him over the years, and does hope to continue to support the sport outside the cage.
"The UFC has become family to me and I hope to be involved with the number one mixed martial arts organization in the world as a coach, ambassador, and fan for a long time to come," wrote Hamill.
Hamill joins other fighters, such as Ricardo Almeida, who have opted for retirement from the sport in 2011.
A movie is being made about this guy? Tell me again what he has accomplished to warrant a movie!
Obviously more than your accomplishments, as someone bankrolled it.
Matt Hamil has been a great sport and he will be missed. Let's not be douchbags.
But srsly, what intelligent responses do you expect from a typical MMA fan??
The fan-base disgusts me at times. Just go look at how Dana White carries himself. Always fighter bashing, exaggerating what HE/Zuffa has done fort he sport, and exploiting fighters. And 30%~50% of MMA fans either support or condone Dana's behavior.
For god's sake, Dana talks shit on his own former champions. Can you imagine? Every fighter will be washed up at one point. And for him to bash former UFC fighters the way he has bee doing…it is disgusting.
"But srsly, what intelligent responses do you expect from a typical MMA fan??"
Yours? Minus the intelligent part.
You wouldn't know because you've never accomplished anything in your life. Loser.
The movie is focusing on his early life and overcoming being deaf to succeed in becoming a 3 time D-III wreslting champion. Pretty amazing feat if you stop and think about it.
I sense sarcasm…If one was deaf and became a musician…I would say impressive.
If one was limbless and became an MMA fighter…I would say impressive.
If one was 3 times all-american Div-1, I would say impressive no matter what.
But deaf + 3 times all-am Div-3???
Hamil is impressive because this dude fought his hard out in the cage. Hats off to all fighters!
No sarcasm what so ever. Having wrestled in HS, I know what it is like. Coaches are yelling at you about positioning, time, moves, and anything else that they can see. Matt was not able to take those instructions from his coaches unless he had a line of sight to them, to me this makes it much more difficult. And this goes for MMA as well, how many times do we hear coaches yelling things from the corner.
And yes being a D-III champion wrestler is a hugh feat in and of it self, but I think that this was much harder to do because he was deaf, and I hate to say it but obviously others felt the same being as they are making a movie about it.
He was the 1 millionth person to have sex with your mother.
Farewell Mr Hamill. You are a great competitor.
Was a great thrill to watch you in your career, Matt! Good luck to you in everything that you do.
From, A Cincy fight fan
thanks for the good fights, enjoy life, I have a feeling we havent seen the last of this guy.
Was never anything about Matt to dislike. He may have not been the best fighter, but he was game.
Was good to have him around as a staple fighter, but aside from Leben, who could be that guy for very long.
always a stepping stone and never the stepper.
Yeah, that is the sad thing about MMA.
Guys like Keith Jardine pretty much dedicated 15+ years of their lives into MMA. This means that they took as a profession. Now when they hit 35+ and get released, what is there for them to do?
At least in the NFL or NBA the salary is high enough so that the players could open a small deli.
Heck, Mark Coleman, former Pride and UFC champion is broke.
You act like that is entirely on the industry (or from your comments about the big bad Dana White) the UFC's fault. Now, go ahead and bash me all you want wonggfan because anyone that comes here on a regular basis knows that to you all that matters is your opinion and everyone else are just "fan boys" and unintelligent.
These guys get paid plenty of money to do something with. Dont think their checks from fighting is all they get. They got sponsors, movie deals, partnerships with gyms to train students, all sorts of stuff. How they invest it or spend it is their business. But dont think Im going to feel sorry for any one of them if they are broke. And even if Im wrong (which Im not) about making enough money to do something with, they knew MMA wasnt going to be a get rich career the minute they realized they would never be among the elite, and yet they still did it.
amen sir
@ wonggfan That true dana is being a douche but you can't deny hes doing more to the sport getting it expose.. at the same time stepping over the little guy like strikeforce. I really doubt it will last now
@ afk get off that dude's nuts. Your nickname is perfect afk.. away from keyboard licking his nuts. your comment was nothing but uncalled for and stupid. Now you know how its like to be a douche? let the guy comment whatever. I find it dumb that your defending that jerk.
Hammil I'm not a fan of him but i respect him as a person and a fighter. it sucks to see him go now but hey maybe is for the best.
I am sorry but you are naive. You've been playing too much UFC game on your xbox.
Movie deals??? Endorsements??? Gym fees??
Before you run your mouth sounding like Dana, please give me figures for those. How many fighters had movie gigs? And how much did they get paid? You are aware that the CondonDepot endorsement is like $2000 or $7000 right? Gyms?? Except for few MMA veterans who actually makes money off of gyms???
Bro, it seems like you are a nice guy. But you have no idea how real life finance works huh?
The UFC is MILKING its fighters.
Mr. Wong's right on this one… and so was BigGuy way back at the start, if his point was Hammill being deaf is really not the world's biggest hurdle to MMA. Shit, the guys born with high testosterone like Sonnen and Nate the Great ended up with handicaps that hurt their careers a lot more than poor hearing!
Wong's right cuz the UFC has capitalized off the backs of their fighters for years. It's the successful PPV business model of the WWE. You can count quickly the number of guys making millions fighting for the UFC – and I'm talking purely their purse – versus a long list of mid-card / low-card talent making the base.
Since The Wonger already brought up Jardine, look at him as an example. Known as a gatekeeper, he got a bunch of PPV air time, and I can't think of a time he didn't "leave it all out there". Yet he wasn't able to retire to a mansion on the hills when he got dropped – he went to Shark Fights. Not the move of a rich man…
Sad to see him go. He was never a super exciting guy but he was a hard worker who was easy to root for. I am glad he went out on his own terms instead of pushing his body until it fell apart.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about him.
He is a clean cut, humble, and kind-hearted guy. His wife/gf/fiance is pretty hot.
I would imagine he would go teach wrestling at a college or highschool. In any case with loving family he will be fine.
wonggfan….go eat a cat or something
Good one, Nick Morris! You are as sick of the wonggfan a-hole as the rest of us!!!
Wongfan, I appreciate you standing up for fighters, but I don't understand how you can try to be a champion for fighters rights one week, and the next you're trash talking the same fighters. what your arguments lack is consistency. If you're going to be a douchebag, be a douchebag, if you're going to make intelligent arguments without belittling people, do that. By being a bit of both, you come off as hypocritical. As far as the points you've made in this thread, I agree with many and am too tired to argue the ones I don't.
wonggfan is an eternal douche bag! He is like the 3rd grader that argues his point while crying until everyone agrees with him just to shut him up. His opinion is all that matters. His opinion is gold. His mommy and daddy must have told him that everything he says in important to the entire world. Sadly, nobody but his mommy and daddy care to hear him.
The fact that Matt Hamill is having a movie made about him is, well, fine and good. My point is that he has overcome a lot of obstacles in being deaf, but that is certainly not like the same as some of the things other greats in the past have had overcome to be successful.
Your own words, "If one was deaf and became a musician…I would say impressive.
If one was limbless and became an MMA fighter…I would say impressive." Those are much harder things to overcome than being deaf in MMA.
Ok, go ahead and type your grand response for us to read. Unlike mommy and daddy, most of us are sick of listening to you rant like the genius you THINK you are. You are just another asshole with an opinion that nobody gives a shit about.
Not too long ago, a quadriplegic did become an MMA fighter, it was disturbing to watch. I think matt hamill does deserve to have a movie made. Being deaf and working his way through college wrestling and into the UFC is impressive, regardless of what some people are saying. However, I think his humility, his dedication, and his overall attitude are what really gives him movie appeal.
Being deaf might not be the most crippling handicap. Being number 1 in a division III competition three times may again not be the most impressive.
But you have to consider the absence of large numbers of deaf people succesfully competing at a national level, or in this case, international.
If it really was no big deal, there would be a great deal more deaf people involved in pro sports.
So, apparently it IS a big deal, that Hamil made #1 in Div III three times. I bet he had to overcome not just physical hurdles, but social and political ones as well. This guy is tough in more ways than the obvious.

Improving Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why Is This Trial Important?
Stem cell donors are usually genetically similar (matched) siblings or unrelated volunteers, but over half of patients lack a matched donor. To address this problem, researchers have studied the use of partially matched (haploidentical) donors. However, ASCT from haploidentical donors often causes serious complications, including graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), which occurs when donor T cells attack normal tissues.
In this study, researchers are testing whether a modified transplantation regimen may reduce complications while preserving the benefits of haploidentical ASCT. The researchers will use reduced doses of transplant chemotherapy to decrease the risk of serious side effects. Then they will transplant stem cells purged of T cells to lessen GVHD risk. If transplantation is successful, the researchers can give patients donor T cells to enhance the graft-versus-malignancy effect.

It's almost time to hit the couch for the 84th Academy Awards—an evening of the year's best cinema, the twisted humor of host Seth MacFarlane and of course, the glamorous (and shocking!) dresses on the red carpet.
With an exciting evening ahead and perhaps guests on the way, kick back, relax and honor your favorite films of the year by toasting the best picture with the perfect cocktail to match this year's outstanding Oscar nominees.
Whether you've been daydreaming about the Broadway magic of "Les Miserables" or falling in love like the duo in "Silver Linings Playbook," the blog Cubicle Chick has provided a list of the perfect drinks to bring you closer to the stage.
Look for the ingredients you'll need at Hillsborough's ShopRite, Stop and Shop, Petrock's Liquors, Country Corner Liquor and Deli, Spirit World, Millstone Wine and Liquor or Bottle King.
Catatonic – To toast "Amour" (Best Picture; Best Actress, Emanuelle Rivas; Best Director, Michael Haneke)

Pour the Adult Chocolate Milk and creme de menthe into a coffee mug, and stir. Add hot chocolate, and top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings and a maraschino cherry if desired, and serve.

Measure maple syrup into a glass. Add ice and pour in The Original Moonshine slowly, stirring to ensure that you properly combine it with the syrup. Add a splash of bitters. Rub an orange slice around the inside of a rocks glass, add fresh ice, and strain The Original Moonshine mixture into the rocks glass. Garnish with orange and serve.

Add the ginger beer and stir once more. The over-ice version stays cooler longer, but as the ice melts the smoky flavor will be less distinct.

An explosion rocked a town home complex in Mercer County, N.J., Tuesday afternoon, killing one person and injuring several others. It happened in a densely populated Heritage Crossing community on Crockett Lane in Ewing. The blast ignited a fire that tore through several units.PSE&G said in a statement that it was working in the area before the blast after a contractor damaged a gas line.
"Crews were working on repairs when there was an ignition at about 1 p.m.," PSE&G said in the statement. "Two PSE&G employees were transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The cause is under investigation."
At least seven people, five PSE&G workers and two contractors, were injured in the blast and fire.
A spokesman at Capital Regional Medical Center said it has received six patients and two of the injured apparently have traumatic injuries.
The explosion destroyed at least two units. Video from the scene showed a large debris field and a large plume of smoke rising from the area. Insulation covered nearby trees and several neighboring buildings were damaged.
A real estate professional familiar with the development said that the community is fed by natural gas lines.
Ewing is in western New Jersey, near the Delaware River. Exit 2 of I-95 was closed because of the incident. It was causing significant delays in the area of Exit 1.

When people in their sixties, seventies, or eighties experience unusual feelings — lost time, suspended awareness, confusion, seizures — they may think their symptoms are caused by some of the physical or mental problems that sometimes accompany aging. But there may be another explanation for what is happening: they may have become one of the 300,000 American senior citizens with epilepsy. For a long time epilepsy has been seen as a condition that affects young people, often starting in early childhood; sometimes lasting throughout life. But now we know it can affect anyone at any age. In fact, a careful look at the statistics shows us that it's as likely to begin in the sixties, seventies and eighties as it is during the first ten years of life. Having epilepsy at any time of life takes some getting used to. People want to find out about the disorder, how it's treated, and what kinds of changes it may make in their lives.
Currently affects about 300,000 seniors nationwide; most rapidly growing population group with epilepsy.
Causes include after-effects of stroke, tumor, or cardiovascular events.
Poses more difficult problems in treatment because of age-related issues and use of other medications.
Increases risk of falls, broken bones, loss of independence.
About Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a functional disorder of the brain, a kind of occasional glitch in the amazing electrical system which controls everything we feel and do. These brief malfunctions (which are called seizures) may temporarily block awareness. They can also cause uncontrollable shaking, convulsions, confusion, or affect the senses.
Anyone at any age can have a seizure if the brain is stressed sufficiently by injury or disease. A single seizure isn't epilepsy, although the symptoms are the same. Epilepsy is the name given to seizures that occur more than once because of an underlying condition in the brain.
Living With Epilepsy
Although there are always exceptions, senior citizens with epilepsy who are otherwise in good health and whose mental abilities are unaffected can usually continue to live independently. Families may find this idea difficult to accept. With the best of intentions, they often become overprotective, making an older relative more dependent than is necessary. Find out more about living with epilepsy, including information on living independently, physical changes, safety and driving.
Medical Aspects
Seizure causes are identifiable for about 50 percent of seniors, but just as in younger people, the types of seizures vary. Treatment in seniors, often made more difficult because of age-related issues and other medications, varies, although medication and surgery are the most common forms of treatment.

We've organized our best workouts for your legs, thighs, and butt by wedding dress type (because no bride who's planning a wedding has time to tone muscles she's not showing off). Find your perfect dress and get the workout that'll help you shape up in time for your wedding day.
Unless you've chosen a tea-length dress or a gown with a super-high slit, you might not have given much thought to toning your legs and thighs for the big day. And if your butt is going to buried in miles of tulle by your princess gown, chances are you've long abandoned lunges and squats. But if your dress is moderately form-fitting, your lower half will be on display (guess which side faces the crowd when you're saying your I Do's?).
If you're planning to wear a mermaid, sheath, trumpet, or any other butt-hugging silhouette, you'll want to add the following moves to your regular exercise regimen. And maybe go buy a smaller garter.
What do you think of this story? Leave a Comment.
Designed to snugly hug your curves, sheath dresses can make a petite bride appear taller and a fuller-figured bride look more proportional. Appropriately, this style is sometimes referred to as a column dress -- but when's the last time you saw a column with hips?
These hip and outer-thigh exercises can help you trim and tone your way into this sleek style:

Here's a gown that calls for a stellar lower half. Trumpet dresses tend to be fitted right to the bum, softly flaring out beneath it. It's a sophisticated and elegant style -- especially when it highlights a toned butt and sleek outer thighs. The key here is lifting and toning pretty much everything about your rear view.

Even more figure-fitting than trumpet gowns, mermaid dresses typically are ultra-fitted to the body, right down to the knee, with a dramatic flare reaching down to the ground. It takes a pretty tight bottom circumference to make this style work, as evidenced by the number of super-hot celeb brides that have walked this sexy style down the aisle: Christina Aguilera, post-Bridget Jones Renee Zellweger, and most recently, Anne Hathaway in Bride Wars.
These moves will ensure you look amazing from every angle in this style:

This move is a nice departure from lunges and squats, but it doesn't work on your under-butt jiggle as much as it offers a strong (yee-ouch!) hip-to-knee tightening. Of course, you may be soon subjected to a public garter removal, so you should get used to pain now.

Too stressed to stop at the gym? Any trainer will tell you: Just take a walk. Grab your fiance, Fido, or just your iPod and take a spin around the neighborhood or the local high school track. No time for that either? Add 20 minutes to your next trip to the mall: Do two laps around each level at can't-chat-now-I'm-late speed before running your errand.

Brides everywhere will caution you, waving their albums as evidence: Photographers tend to capture parts of your body never intended to be on display (as you're hiking your dress up to descend the stairs, while you're bent over to slip on your heels, as you're fiddling with your Spanx...). It's absolutely OK to ask your camera guy or gal to keep her shutter silent when it comes to your dress's underpinnings. But just in case, wouldn't you rather know you're still showing a great side of yourself?

1. General Information
WebLearn: Allowing members of the University to create and store materials to support their teaching and learning activities. Easy to create and upload materials, easy to foster collaboration and easy to secure access.
"All of our course outlines, timetables, lecture notes, reading lists, and resources are available on WebLearn. [....] It makes communicating information and sharing resources extremely effective since anyone in our course, including the administrator, can provide or receive up-to-date information at any time of day." - a Medical Sciences student
1.2. WebLearn Blog
Read the latest news and views in this blog centred mainly around WebLearn.
1.3. About the WebLearn Service
WebLearn is a web-based Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), which can be used to both support and enhance teaching and learning. It provides tools to enable University members with very little web experience to set up a structured web site and provide an excellent resource for their students.
WebLearn is a free service offered to any member of the University - areas are available for all departments, faculties, colleges, schools and other administrative units to focus their electronic teaching and learning activity.
- make announcements;
- share, protect and search for hand-outs, course notes, presentations, podcasts, movies and other multimedia resources;
- set and submit electronic assignments (with optional Turnitin plagiarism detection);
- disseminate reading lists with live links to OLIS;
- promote groups discussion with forums and chat rooms;
- carry out online opinion polls;
- deliver course evaluation and feedback forms;
- advertise and locate graduate training courses;
- perform formative assessments with multiple-choice tests and the like;
- publicise events via the course schedule (calendar);
- enable collaborative authoring within a wiki (which also supports mathematical notation);
- sign-up for tutorials;
- store private files online;
- work with collaborators from other institutions who can easily be issued with their own username and password;
- host surveys;
- and much more!
WebLearn areas can be made publicly available or restricted to specific individuals or ad-hoc and predefined groups. It is also possible to stipulate exactly what site members are allowed to do once they have entered a site. The system contains information regarding course and departmental affiliation for all staff and students, and it is this information that can be used to restrict access. As all areas are arranged in a hierarchy that matches the University's organisational structure, this promotes casual browsing.
IT Services offers training, support and advice for all of the above facilities, details are given later.
WebLearn is based on an open source Collaborative Learning Environment called Sakai CLE. Sakai CLE is used in many of the world's leading Universities such as Cambridge, Yale, UCB, Stanford, ANU and MIT and is administered by the newly formed Apereo Foundation.
1.3.1. Establishing a Presence in the WebLearn
To establish a presence in WebLearn, your Head of Department or College will need to authorise somebody to become a 'Local WebLearn Coordinator' and complete the Request for an Administration Site form. Once your department has an Administration Site, it is worth consulting with colleagues and deciding on a mutually agreed structure for consistency, for example, information could be provided by year, by course, by year or by tutor: there are a number of options. IT Services is very happy to offer advice on good practice in this area.
If you are unsure as to whether your unit has requested a presence or want to find out who your Local WebLearn Coordinator is then please consult this list of Administration Sites.
The Request for an Administration Site form also includes a set of guidelines for use of the system. For example, heed must be paid to copyright issues and there is a legal requirement that all material posted for download by students should be accessible (SENDA).
1.3.2. Help With Creating Material
IT Services is happy to offer expert advice about building up an effective departmental presence. To request a one-to-one meeting please contact the WebLearn team by email. Unfortunately, IT Services is not able to actually create course material for departments, however, a commercial service is available from the Technology-Assisted Lifelong Learning Unit (TALL) which is part of the Department for Continuing Education.
1.3.3. Linking to WebLearn from your web page
The following HTML code, when clicked, will load the front page of WebLearn. The target of the link can be manually edited to jump to a specific department of college area if desired. It is quite acceptable to change the size of the WebLearn graphic; alternative graphics are available from the graphical resources section of this document.
1.4. WebLearn and SharePoint
IT Services also offers a service based on Microsoft SharePoint. In order to make it easier for staff to know which service is most appropriate, the WebLearn and Nexus teams have written a paper entitled 'WebLearn and Nexus – which tool for which activity?'
1.5. WebLearn and Mobile Oxford
Did you know that you can have students complete a quick quiz during a lecture using their mobile phones and instantly see and discuss the results?
Did you know that students can use their mobile phones to sign up to a tutorial or seminar, read WebLearn announcements, listen to a podcast on the train, or access library, weather and travel information?
Visit Mobile Oxford to take advantage of these features.

Almighty God, lead me in the search for life. Teach me what is important and what is unimportant; what is false, and what is true. Remove the hindrances that keep me from the worthiest deeds, and grant that I may have the peace that comes with surrender of self to thy will.
Lord, may I understand that thou art in everything and that I cannot hide from thee, for thou boldest me though I know it not. Give me the desire, and help me to learn of thy laws, that I may know that even in the least of things, I have the liberty to obtain happiness by obeying them.
I pray this in the Lord Jesus Christ name. Amen

Without sounding like a male chauvinist, women on the front line would be bad. Even though there are women that can hold their own they would put others in harms way. Here are some of my reasons:
1. Men being men would think more on protecting them than doing their job.
2. Women trying to prove they can hold their own would cause unrest in the ranks.
3. To protect them from getting pregnant the government would have them sterilized. That means they will never be able to bare children.
With this being said, there is a place for them in the Military, just not on the front line.
I would like to know what you think.

Usain Bolt's Uniform Revealed
On Friday, June 1st PUMA, alongside the Jamaica Olympic Association, will unveil for the first time to the world the uniform that the 2012 Jamaican Track & Field Olympic team will wear in London. Designed by fashion designer Cedella Marley, daughter of Reggae icon the late Bob Marley, Bolt's uniform is part of the 2012 Jamaica Track & Field Olympic Wear Collection, also designed by Cedella Marley. Staying true to PUMA's DNA of sportlifestyle, the collection incorporates high-tech fabrics and silhouettes engineered to enhance the performance of the athletes hailing from the fastest country in the world-Jamaica. Taking inspiration from the vibrant colors and patterns of the Caribbean nation as well as the African influences that have come to characterize that country, Cedella Marley's unique designs are sure to make the world take notice in the summer of 2012. "I can't think of a better person to design our Olympic outfits than Cedella," said Usain Bolt. "PUMA got that right...hooking up with a legendary Jamaican. She's a great designer but also carries on the spirit of our nation through the legacy of the Marley family. It's going to be inspirational to run in London with that energy surrounding me."

Jorge's Big House in a Small Frame
House Call
Name: Jorge Rosso
Location: Coral Gables neighborhood of Miami, Florida
The concept of this house is cheap finds for an expensive look. I am an obsessive hunter for bargains on great stuff, and while it takes a while to put together, the journey is better!
The style here is eclectic and interesting, we're packing a big house into a 1,500 square foot frame, and entertaining bigger groups than you would think — just treat storage like on a boat! When I found the house, it was a disaster, but it had great bones. The challenge was to update it for my taste and lifestyle, as well as to respect her age!
Thanks, Jorge!
We've had amazing response to our Apartment Therapy House Tour Submission Form. While we will work with homeowners of our favorite homes to feature full tours, we will also share the best as House Calls — short, quick tours of readers' homes. Submit your home here.

Yay, Miami! I love the kitchen and can see that you are on your way to realizing your vision. I just think the bedroom is screaming for a nice, rich wall color to make it more cozy and tie it all together.
I live in a really similar a home in Florida and it is refreshing to see more (older) Florida style homes. You have managed to keep alot of the original feel with adding yourself and updates! I think you have even managed to incorporate Florida without going wrong with tacky pastel prints. It's lovely.
So stylish but yet warm, inviting and fun. I feel like I wish I knew you...and what an interesting collection of accessories. You have some really nice interior views into the other rooms. I'm so curious about the kitchen. I'm guessing the yellow tile is original, but how beautifully the gray and blue paint updates the room, and integrates the tile for a beautiful effect.
It is so refreshing to see a home in FL that has not followed the awful, heavy Spanish/Gaudy Grecian decorating curse and instead has created a very warm inviting place. Nice.
Very nice ... and full of pleasant surprises!
Wonderfully done! Good going in the Gables!
I love how you toned down the quirky features of the home (the bulkhead and overhead fan in the kitchen and the lowered ceiling in the family room area). I have toured some homes in this area and they tend to be decorated in the over the top fashion. This home is light and airy and looks like a great place to hang out.
This home is really inspiring.
I want a full house tour. Those green chairs are great.
dining room is to die for... I agree with Britannykate that we definetly need a full house tour.
Really charming! I love that orange stripe with the orange blanket in the bedroom.
Gables, Yay!!! South Florida represent! I love your kitchen rug, btw...where is it from? was looking for something similar for my patio up here in wilton manors :)
Beautiful! I love the green in the dining room. Thanks for sharing.
I wasn't feeling it until I got to picture 4. Beautiful. I want to curl up with a book on that fat-armed sofa.
Thanks All,
For the kind comments and words. You are all invited to Miami for a glass of wine on me!
And Kpaige, the rugs in the Kitchen were bought by my parents in Santa Fe when I was a little kid, but I picked up a similar stripey rug at IKEA.
also check out my website for more.
and check back often, we are in the process of updating by the new year!
Forgot the http's!
That dining room works it! I was startled by the green but then I caught the Monet-like artwork... super interesting home.
Oh my gosh! Great house and I love the art and combinations. Did you paint the dining room chairs green?
That dining room is to die for, it looks like you could just fall into that painting. The candelabra on the table is the perfect touch.
huh, i like the mirror: it adds an eclectic quirky element.
would like to see a full tour!!!
Please, please tell us what paint color you used for the dining room chairs!! Or are they original? I love them! And have dining room chairs waiting!!
Also, I love your top kitchen cabinets!! I was looking for something like this. But the only ones I could find were large on the bottom and small on the top in a 1800's house!!
Are they original?? If not could you please tell me where they are from. Thanks, you home is bright, light and full of color!! Beautiful!
Wow, I am so crazy about this dinging room! Who painted the gorgeous landscape??
Jorge is not only a cutie but sweet.
BTW Coral Gables is not a "neighborhood of Miami". It is its own city in Miami-Dade County.
What a vibrant home!
