You Never Hear About The Houses That Don't Sell
It's Friday desk clearing time for this blogger. "Casey Bui, managing broker at Rockwell Realty said the inventory is so tight in some areas that he's seen houses sell for $100,000 over their list price in close-in Seattle neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Madison Valley. Brokers are supposed to list property at fair-market value, he said, so it's hard to see how lenders would approve financing deals so far above list price. 'Just on the face of it,' he said, 'it makes you think, 'Bubble.'"
"Sales of single-family homes in Salt Lake County fell 4 percent in the first quarter, the first decline in five years in year-over-year quarter listings. But a surge in home building shows a market in good health. The improvement in the market was the main reason Sandy resident Kim Crook, chose to put her family's home up for sale. 'We bought this home nine years ago when the market was at its peak, (then) the market definitely took a turn for the worse,' Crook said. They have had plenty of interest in the two weeks it has been on the market, she said, but no offers yet. 'We've had a ton of traffic come through,' Crook said. 'So (we're) just waiting for an offer.'"
"Halfway through the traditionally booming spring selling season, home sales here have disappointed, dropping for the fourth month in a row, year-over-year listing data for April show. With investor activity slowing and short-sale bargains drying up, real estate agents said Tampa Bay housing's weaknesses are beginning to show through. Some sellers also have unrealistic expectations of what their homes are worth, due in part to last year's run up in prices thanks to so much investor activity. But with fewer cash deals, more sellers must rely on traditional buyers, whose lender influences how much the buyer can spend and can easily spike a deal. 'Sellers are starting (their prices) a little high because the market climbed and they're trying to continue that trend,' Charles Rutenberg agent Michele Brigandi said."
"Nashville-area home closings fell slightly in April for the second straight month, but the Greater Nashville Association of Realtors says it's not time to hit the panic button yet. 'Inventory is at its highest point since November of last year and is in the fourth month of an increase,' said GNAR's President Hagan Stone."
"Many local realtors will join others from across the country in Washington next week in meetings with Congress to urge that body to make decisions to support and protect home ownership. 'Even with an improving market, there's still significant concern about potential legislative decisions impacting the housing market,' said Stone. 'The wrong decisions could easily have a major negative impact on the overall market in a very short time.'"
"Realtors rallied at the State House yesterday to bring attention to five pieces of proposed legislation they say would reverse gains in the housing market and could result in the loss of 2,000 jobs. 'Right now we're in the midst of a nice up tick in homes,' said Susan Arnold, chief executive officer of the Rhode Island Association of Realtors. 'We don't want to cripple anything.'"
"Bruce Lane, broker owner of Williams & Stuart Real Estate with offices in Warwick, Cranston and Pawtuxet Village, is especially concerned by Senate bill 2409, which would change the status of independent contractors. If enacted, the bill would define brokers as employees subject to payroll taxes, disability insurance and Workers Compensation. Lane estimated of the state's 4,000 real estate brokers about half would lose their jobs. 'This is such a scary bill on such a fragile economy,' he said."
"Two weeks from now, Bryce and Ashlee Collins are likely to be the terrified owners of two homes. One is the three-bedroom Etobicoke backsplit they bought last month and where they plan to raise their six-month-old son. The other is the detached house they've renovated over the last four years in up-and-coming Little Portugal. It's been on the market for a month now without an offer. The Collins are panicked, living proof of the vagaries of the Toronto real estate market. 'My wife and I consider ourselves somewhat knowledgeable about the real estate market, but we were not mentally prepared for this,' says Bryce. 'All you hear about are the bidding wars but, as two agents have said to us: 'You never hear about the houses that do not sell.'"
"Consumers are being warned to avoid risky home loans that could see them or their families left homeless. Family guarantees, which allow a borrower to use a family member's home as collateral, could see both the borrower and their relative lose their homes if repayments are not met. 'We're only six years from when poor lending practices dropped us into the global financial crisis and now these loans seem to have found their way back into the mix,' said Consumer group Choice spokesman Tom Godfrey."
"The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has previously expressed concern about relaxed lending practices. But Mr Godfrey said risky products were still being seen across the market, particularly among second-tier lenders. Principal solicitor at the Consumer Credit Legal Centre Katherine Lane said borrowers could face bankruptcy if they could not meet their repayments, while family members who act as guarantors could lose their house, too. 'The lenders can sell whichever house they want to, so if one house is hard to sell, they'll want to sell the other and it's possible the guarantor could lose their home first,' she said."
"Most Swedes with a home mortgage are doomed to die before repaying their debt, according to a study published by Sweden's central bank. The study revealed that the debt of 25% of them grows every year, while for 15%, their debt stays the same year after year. The remaining 60% pay back their mortgages at a very slow pace. 'If the borrowers who have reduced their debts over this period continue to reduce these debts at the same rate, on average they will be free of debt in about 100 years,' according to the calculations of central bank economists Jakob Windstrand and Dilan Oelcer."
"Needing cash after his divorce, longtime Mariners Harbor resident Tony Wong decided to refinance his home. But instead of boosting Wong's financial bottom line, the move ended up draining his bank account and burying the school safety officer in debts exceeding $660,000. Wong is fighting back with a federal lawsuit. 'I was tricked. Honestly, that's how I feel,' Wong told the Advance. 'It was a nightmare.'"
"The interest rate was 11.075 percent, with monthly payments of about $3,750, including principal, interest, tax and insurance, said Wong's court filings. He believed he could pay the higher rate by tightening his belt and dipping into his savings, then refinance again in a year. Despite a shaky credit rating, Wong said he was told he wouldn't have a problem. Wong paid the new rate for the first six or seven months, before he depleted his savings and the bottom fell out, his filings contend."
"Elizabeth M. Lynch, a lawyer for the Manhattan-based nonprofit MFY Legal Services, which is representing Wong, said he sought a loan modification without success. He now owes more than $663,000 and his home's current market value is only $345,000, according to court filings and online city Finance Department records. 'There's no way he can refinance now because the debt he owes is so high,' said Ms. Lynch."
"There are those on Wall Street and in the plutocracy who feel that Timothy Geithner is a hero who deftly steered the country from economic ruin. To many ordinary Americans, however, he is considered a Wall Street puppet. 'I did not view Wall Street as a cabal of idiots or crooks,' he writes in 'Stress Test.' 'My jobs mostly exposed me to talented senior bankers, and selection bias probably gave me an impression that the U.S. financial sector was more capable and ethical than it really was.'"
"For much of the past five years, Geithner has publicly been fighting with the idea of too-big-to-fail. Geithner and Obama marketed the Dodd-Frank bill as a way to end future bailouts. In 2010, right before the bill passed, Geithner said, 'The reforms will end too-big-to-fail.' Obama went further: 'Because of this law, the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street's mistakes. There will be no more tax-funded bailouts, period.'"
"But it is now clear that Geithner never believed his own talking points. To him, too-big-to-fail and the so-called moral hazard, or safety net, that it would create can't really ever be fully taken away. During his lecture, one student asked a question about a provision of the reform laws that is supposed to let the government wind down a complex financial institution without creating a domino effect. The question prompted Geithner onto a tangent about too-big-to-fail. 'Does it still exist?' he said. 'Yeah, of course it does.' Ending too-big-to-fail was 'like Moby-Dick for economists or regulators. It's not just quixotic, it's misguided.'"
"Geithner paused for a moment. 'Can you design a system ever that allows you to be indifferent to the failure of any institution, in any state of the world?' he asked aloud before answering his own question. 'You can design a system, and I think we have, that allows you to be indifferent in most states of the world: the five-year flood, the 15-year flood, the 30-year flood, maybe even the 50-year flood,' he said. 'But there are constellations of storms, of panics, of fires that are so bad that it's very hard to imagine that you could be indifferent to the failure of the financial system.'"

On Brooklynn's behalf, Fremd steps up Cure JM
The 'Walk to Cure JM' hits home for Fremd athletes this Sunday.
Brooklynn Yates, the 7-year-old daughter of Fremd girls basketball coach Dave Yates, was diagnosed in October of 2015 with the very rare disease called Juvenile Myositis.
More than 350 Fremd athletes, coaches, teachers and families are 'Walking for Brooklynn' in an effort to raise $10,000 to $15,000.
The event will be held this Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon (registration at 9 a.m.) at Busse Woods Forest Preserve in Elk Grove. The site is located just off Higgins Road, just west of Arlington Heights Road.
The walk is intended to help find a cure for Juvenile Myositis, a life-threatening disease which causes the body's own immune system to attack healthy cells and tissues. It can cause pain, weakness, inability to walk and disfigurement. It can affect virtually any system of the body, including the heart, lungs, skin and muscles.
Brooklynn went from a healthy little girl to one who needed help to get out of bed and being carried much of the time, in and out of pain, as this disease attacked her body.
She is improving with medical treatment and her doctors are trying to send her JM into remission. But she is not there yet.
Without the help of research money and educating doctors to recognize this serious disease quickly, progress with this disease cannot continue.
The goal is to help raise money so that some day there will be a cure.
You can help support the walk by either joining the 'Walk for Brooklynn' team or making a donation so progress can continue. More info can be found on CureJM.org.
With public support, better treatments and a cure are getting closer.
Last year, funding was able to provide research at 10 prestigious research institutions, one being Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago. It helped advance JM research at an unprecedented pace.
All donations go straight to Cure JM and more than 91 percent of all funds raised go directly to research.

When Mac announced that they would be offering student discount with unidays I jumped at the chance of doing an order. It had been a while since I've splurged on make-up as there was a few things I was running low on so I stocked up before having to be a stingy student again.
Mac is one of the more higher end brands I like because they for me are still at affordable prices and great if you are just starting to get into make-up. I picked up a classic favourite of mine which I'm sure you have heard me babble on about in the past and that's Mac studio fix fluid, I have the shade NC20 which is a tiny bit dark for me naturally but when I have some tan on it's perfect. I don't tend to get along with matte finishes but this is the only matte foundation I can wear. Sticking with the theme I wanted a new concealer so opted for Pro Longwear, I already have the studio finish which I love for blemishes but I wanted a high duty one that would last me a while to highlight my under eyes so I picked it up in NC15. I do however always find that when wearing my studio fix my under eyes do crease a little so let me know if you have any tips to over come that.
Onto eyes now, my best friend Kirti for my birthday bought me the mac quad as she knew I wanted one for a while that I could use everyday. She actually has filled most of this up for me as she chose the shades amber lights, brown down and expensive pink and I picked brown script. They are all shades I love that I can wear subtly on a everyday basis or wear on a night out as the pigment in the shimmer shades are insane. Continuing with the eye area, I have finally said goodbye to my Anastasia dip brown and are now trying and testing fluidline brow gelcreme in deep dark brunette. I was actually surprised by how similar it is to dip brow but I feel like it is slightly more cream. When applying you literally need the tiniest bit as a little goes a very long way.
Finally, in terms of make-up the last thing I picked up is a lisptick as well you cannot really do a Mac haul without getting a lipstick and I think I have found my everyday perfect nude. Yash is from the matte lipstick collection which it is a deep neutral shade with a slight tone of pink.
In terms of skin bits I replaced my Fix plus as this is a staple in anyones collection to prime and set your face and even give it a refresh during the day. I finally got my hands on strobe cream, I have been wanting it for so long and reading many blog posts on it, I have really got into using primers lately as I find they really do help my make-up not the cake in dry places. Instead of the original I bought goldlite as it has flecks of gold particles giving an iridescent glow under your base.
My final thing in the beauty haul is something I was actually gifted from Vanity Planet which is a brand I hadn't heard of until my sister asked for their ultimate skin spa brush for her birthday. I was invited to become an ambassador for the brand sharing my views on their products and to feature them across my social media. As I don't have many make-up brushes and hate washing them I thought why not get some new ones in my collection so I picked the professional make-up brush collection* which came in a lovely leather pouch so it's perfect when I'm travelling back and forth from home to uni. So far I am really impressed with the brushes, they are super soft althought some of them do fray a little bit. There is the perfect amount for everyday use as you get 15 which include eye brushes, powder, bronzer, a fan brush, although I don't think there is one suitable for for foundation for me personally.
So there are all the beauty bits I have added to my collection, hope you enjoyed!

The Colorado Rapids will be in action in the MLS as they host the San Jose Earthquake at DSG Park. This is a match between the two worst teams in the Western Conference and it should mean that both teams will see this as a chance to get some points and move away from the bottom. Neither team has played well this season and while that shouldn't change in this game, it should mean we get a close contest.
The Colorado Rapids got a much-needed win last weekend as they beat the LA Galaxy. This was a huge win for the Rapids as they beat one of the best sides in the competition. That win ensured that they remained second last and even if they lost this game, they will not go last. Outside of standings, that win would have given the Colorado Rapids lots of confidence which they will look to use in this fixture. In the past, the Colorado Rapids have looked like a side that lacks self-belief and it will be interesting to see if the win over the LA Galaxy has changed that.
Similarly, the San Jose Earthquake also managed to pull off a major upset as they beat the top team in the Western Conference, FC Dallas. This win was more impressive than that of Colorado's since the Earthquake were away from home. San Jose seems like a team that has gotten a new life and they will hope to collect a few wins as they have a relatively easy run for the new few weeks. This is a game that San Jose can win and they will feel good about their chances following their win last weekend.
While both of these teams will feel they can win, I think neither will win and we will get a draw. These two teams are very even in most aspects and I think the home ground advantage won't help much since DSG Park has been very empty recently. With that in mind, I see these two teams sharing the points.

Mortgage Market Summary as of June 4, 2018/
Mortgage rates moved higher late last week mostly due to waning political risks in Italy. To be honest, I only really put the jobs data in the headline because the mighty Employment Situation Report is a perennial market mover - especially for rates. In Friday's case, however, bond market trading levels (the stuff that dictates rates) ended the day right where they were just BEFORE the jobs report came out.
When it comes to the US bond market and this week's volatility, Italian politics have been at center stage. Today was something of a closing act in that regard as the Italian President finally confirmed a new Finance Minister. Failure to do so had previously threatened to send the country back to elections, and that was seen as a major risk. Bottom line: avoiding snap elections meant the defusing of those risks, and that wasn't good for rates.
If you're wondering "WHY" such a thing isn't good for rates, the next few sentences are for you. Bonds (which drive rates) thrive on risk. Scared investors park money in safe-haven bonds like US Treasuries. Mortgage-backed-securities (MBS) also benefit. More demand for these bonds means their prices rise and their yields fall. Falling yield is the same as falling rates--at least by the time lenders convey that reality by updating their published rate sheets.
The move higher means we ended the week right in line with last Friday. This week presents a sort of a lull, with the big Fed Announcement coming out the following week. During this time, rates will be "deciding" if they're able to hold under this week's ceiling. This is most easily tracked in terms of 10 year Treasury yields due to the variability between mortgage lenders. We're looking at 10 year yields around 2.94% as an important battleground. If we stay below, that could mean a broader, slower, positive shift is in the works, but please be very aware that such a shift is the underdog on most scorecards in 2018.
Courtesy of Rick Lombardo 310.435.7439, firstname.lastname@example.com, VP of Mortgage Lending at Guaranteed Rate.

Julia Nepper has earned a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin at the age of 23 years old. Nepper, who was homeschooled at a very young age because she wasn't being "challenged" enough.
"We didn't think she was being challenged enough," said Nepper who was remembering a time when the family lived in Burgaw. "It was suggested if we wanted her to excel, we'd have to pull her out and homeschool her."
Julia was just 12 years old when she began her higher education at Cape Fear Community. She went on to get her associates degree at 14, her bachelor's degree from UNCW at 16 and now her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin at 23.
"Most of the people I've met, in my life, could have done what I did if they had the right support," Julia said. "I don't fault my parents, pushing me, with regards to my education. Clearly, I could handle it and it worked. So they must have done something right."
Julia has the world ahead of her and plans to possibly land a job in Japan although her mother would love for her to return to Wilmington. This is the first time that Julia isn't going to have homework or a test to study for, and she is nervous about what the future holds.
We hope that she explores all that life has to offer, congrats!

Argh! I'd been planning to put up a "top 25" list of lovely women on Monday to coincide with AfterEllen's top 100, but wordpress just will not cooperate with me when it comes to a photo post. So instead, we move to a more thinky thought topic. No hot girls. Boo.
As I've mentioned on here, I've had a change of perspective recently on the whole debate over whether sexuality is genetically determined or a choice. For a long time, like many LGBT people, I was very adamant that we're "born this way." Obviously, there's a political advantage to this position, because it's harder to take away rights from people who fit into a certain class through no fault of their own. Immutability is a big thing in the legal field too, but the interesting thing is that with immutability, specifically in asylum claims, the trait is either something that you were born with or can't change or something so fundamental to your identity that you can't be expected to change it. I think that's a great way of looking at sexuality, frankly.
Though I do think there are genetic factors involved, and also that upbringing can play a role in how someone's sexual identity develops, I think it's a little more amorphous than someone being born "a lesbian." Sexuality, like race and many other things, is socially constructed. We happen to see the word in terms of gay, straight, bisexual, and many people have pointed out the flaws in that organisational system. I'm not going to tackle those problems today, but I am going to suggest that while who you're attracted to may include some genetic factors, there's also a choice element.
When I was first starting to think that I might be gay, and not bisexual as originally assumed, I sat there trying to come up with "the answer." I tried to get all zen and think "what am I? What am I?" But I don't think it really works that way. In the end, I think though I obviously had the potential to be with men, and was with one for quite a while, I chose to be a lesbian. But that doesn't mean that I should be expected to change it. That doesn't mean that when asking for rights someone should say to me, "well, you were with a man before, so if you want rights, go straight!" Since I came of age, attraction to women and desire to be with women has been an important part of my sexuality and my identity. Even if I hadn't noticed this attraction until I was thirty, fifty, seventy… I would have no less right to be treated as a human being than if I had known at five. The fact is, if choosing (or recognising) your sexual identity were like picking out vegetables in the supermarket, few people would choose to be gay. Being gay is difficult. You run risks of harassment and violence. Romantically, you simply have a much smaller pool of people to choose from, and your relationship will only be legally recognised in a handful of jurisdictions. So I think it's okay to admit that there is an element of choice involved in sexuality, but also to recognise that it is a fundamental choice, and that whatever someone chooses, we should respect that choice.

From a royal wedding to a royal outcast, Sarah Ferguson has seen it all and so did I when on Friday, July 15, 2011, I took in "The Royal Weight Watcher: Sarah Ferguson: A Duchess Hungry For Love," at the Midtown International Theatre Festival. Written and performed by Franziska Huber, "The Royal Weight Watcher," delves inside the life of Sarah Ferguson, exposing a side of Sarah not many knew. From her royal wedding to her downward spiral to her ultimate revival, Sarah Ferguson has survived it all.
Taking the audience on this journey is rising playwright and actress Franziska Huber. Franziska has done her research and wonderfully shows the struggles Sarah Ferguson has endured from lonliness and depression to losing her fortune to having her life saved by "Weight Watchers." There was a lot about Sarah's life I did not know, but after seeing "The Royal Weight Water," my eyes were opened to what seemed like a semi-charmed life to a life of hardships.
Franziska has worked hard to bring this show to life and her hard work has paid off! Come watch Sarah's rise, fall, and revival right before your eyes. "The Royal Weight Watcher" runs through July 25 at The June Havoc Theatre in NYC (312 West 36th Street, 4th floor). Click here for tickets!

We need to talk: An open letter to Abby Erceg

An open letter to Abby Erceg.
Dear Abby, thanks but no thanks. Yes, it's lovely, and timely, that you've put your hand up (again) to be part of the Football Ferns, only this time no.
You've had your time Abby. Twice. And you've chosen to forego the privilege of playing for your country. Twice.
Which is 100% absolutely fine. I respect your decision(s). But there is no third time lucky available here, or at least there shouldn't be.
Obviously, the significance of this being a FIFA World Cup year isn't lost on you.
Your ever so carefully crafted PR machine has put all the right heartfelt messages in all the right places, I get all that. But I still can't help saying, "so what?".
Being a World Cup year, the biggest stage, no better place for any player to advertise their wares to potential new suitors, I get all that too - not that, that aspect of it has ever have crossed your mind, of course."
"Because the only, and let me repeat only, reason you've decided to come back (again) is your undying commitment to the team's cause blah blah, your utter selfless dedication to the national interest etc, etc zzzzzzzz.
Just to let everyone know what has actually gone on here, Abby retired the first time from the Football Ferns because of differences with NZF about their serious lack of support for the women's game.
She then re-retired last year because of that idiot masquerading as a coach called Andreas Heraf.
As I said earlier, two decisions that were as sound as they were selfish. And I mean selfish in a good way.
Professional athletes, by definition, make these sorts of calls based entirely on what's best for themselves.
Just ask Ryan Nelsen, who himself chose not to play some 20-odd games for the All Whites, before (coincidentally) becoming super keen again when that glorious World Cup campaign started getting momentum.
Look, don't get me wrong, I love Ryan Nelson and what he did for us - I'm just telling the rest of the truth here.
When Abby decided to ditch last year, she also left all her FF team-mates in the lurch, to fight the good fight without their best & most influential voice.
All those young women were left to fight Heraf risking their international futures with no guarantee of success.
It was a very very big ballsy move and thank goodness it paid off.
In my humble, and irrelevant opinion, those same women deserve to now play at this year's World Cup because they are the ones who qualified us and they are the ones who stood up for what's right.
So, I for one, don't welcome the prodigal daughter back. Not one bit.
Dear Abby, to quote JFK, "ask not what your country can do for you...".

Rather than committing to painting your cabinets or choosing a crazy-colored appliance, infuse color through your accessories, like in this kitchen space spotted on Design*Sponge, who ran with teal and light blue accents via vases, plates and tabletop appliances. The consistent palette keeps a small space feeling organized and well thought out.
This one is particularly useful if you find yourself in a studio where every room kind of just spills into the next. Should you have a window in your teeny kitchen, consider adding draperies, which will invite the same coziness your living room (which very well might be inches away such as in this space by Moodhouse Interiors) offers, encasing you in purposeful design.
To expand a tiny kitchen, add extra shelves in places they'd be most functional, like above the stove. That way, you won't have to spend a lot of money, or take up valuable floor space.
In a small kitchen, you only have so many opportunities to flex your creative muscle. Here, in a kitchen from Dzek (which features the company's Marmoreal countertop) a terrazzo-like surface, though not for everybody, really steals the show.
A 1930s Connecticut weekend house gets a modern makeover; In the kitchen, the island has a top of honed Carrara marble, the wall tiles are by Waterworks, the stove is Viking, and the stools are by York Street Studio; the 19th-century Windsor chair is a family heirloom, and the 1920s English pendants are from BK Antiques.
These charming and stylish designer kitchens have all the inspiration you need to spice up your tiny cooking space.
What you see isn't always what you get, or at least that's the takeaway in this small kitchen found on Architectural Digest. With no hardware in sight, the walnut paneling hides a full-size refrigerator, making the compact room feel larger without the visual interruption of a bulky appliance.
A vintage French artist's table serves as the kitchen island in this Hamptons home. The stove is by Wolf, the sink and fittings are by Waterworks, and the dishwasher is by GE; the sign on the ceiling beams is original to the house.
Fabric impresario John Robshaw's Connecticut country house is quaint and colorful. Just because the kitchen is petite doesn't mean it is any less full of life. The kitchen's settee is by Richard Wrightman, the sink fittings are by Newport Brass, the ceiling lights are by Restoration Hardware, the countertops are marble, and the custom dhurrie is by Robshaw. The walls are painted in Rose Quartz and the cabinetry in Starry Night, both by Benjamin Moore.
Small European apartments are always a wonderful place to seek out inspiration for your compact home spaces. Turns out, so is Detroit, at least by the looks of this kitchen. The Scandi-style material and color palette works well to keep the room open and visually pleasing.
Keeping things white will brighten up a small space, but that doesn't mean you have to swear off wood forever. Reclaimed wood shelving adds contrast — and necessary storage.
In this super small Parisian kitchen, designer Marianne Evennou channeled her inner librarian, creating upper storage that mimics the beloved card catalogue.
If you want your space to look larger, go for an ultra-modern kitchen. The more minimal the decor, the bigger it'll seem.
Don't choose large or bulky chairs for your island. Instead, opt for low seating that doesn't detract visually from the room.
A cozy kitchen in a Greenwich Village penthouse showcases a farmhouse sink, skirted in a Ralph Lauren Home linen, an antique chest found at a Paris flea market, and a French sconce.
In a Manhattan home, this charming blue kitchen features wood-and-marble cabinets commissioned by an artisan in India. The unique light fixture is by Harry Allen, and the appliances are by GE. The walls and carpet anchor the room in a dreamy blue palette.
This little galley kitchen found on Marie Claire Maison does an impeccable job of mixing traditional elements like the Aga stove, classic French moldings and crystal chandelier with streamlined cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling geometric tiling and a modern sconce.
Mirrored glass on cabinet doors instantly enlarges a small kitchen. Fake it til you make it!
Designed by Ken Fulk, this cozy Montana kitchen features a rustic-style range and hood and the custom island is made of cherry wood with an oak butcher-block countertop. The stools are by Christian Liaigre, the backsplash tiles are by Pewabic Pottery, and the pendant lights are by Niche.
45 of the Very Best Ideas & Solutions for Your Small Kitchen
Adding extra storage up top is a great idea—but reaching it, on the other hand, is a challenge. Install a rolling ladder to access ceiling-height cabinets.
In a Brooklyn townhouse owned by wallpaper maven Kate Reynolds, the kitchen counters are Calacatta Gold marble, the backsplash tile is by Waterworks, the range is by Capital, the stools are from ABC Carpet & Home and the light fixture is by Apparatus.
In Emmy Rossum's classic New York City apartment, the elongated kitchen space has a range and hood by Bertazzoni, the cabinets are by Scavolini, the antique runner is from Stark and the photograph is by Roger Mayne.
Every kitchen, no matter how big or how small has one thing in common: a stove. A four-burner range or cooktop can take up a majority of counter space, even though it gets used, at most, for a few hours a day. Sacrifice one burner and add a tray (on little legs to sit above a coil burner if you have one) to hold everyday spices like salt and pepper (and even a little plant).
Uncovered on A Beautiful Mess, this pint-size kitchen really takes advantage of its wall space by adding in another shelf under the upper cabinets and even a metal rack above the stove for tools and utensils.
To squeeze in extra storage, try adding little cubbies to fill in the space above a window or your range hood. Just make sure you have a step ladder handy.
Keep the kitchen cozy and full of style with a vibrant vintage-style rug, like this one from Canary Lane, photographed for Instagram in the kitchen of stylist Carlay Page Summers. For a narrow galley-style kitchen, go with a runner, or try a smaller 3′ x 5′ for something more square and compact.
This kitchen found in Australian home magazine Inside Out is not for the faint of heart, but aside from its apparent boldness it also has some super smart small space takeaways, like freeing up counter space by storing knives on the wall and incorporating a calendar onto the cabinet fronts.
Set against a rich black wall (in a kitchen uncovered on No Glitter No Glory) this knife set adds a stainless-steel punch amidst the existing matte textures. An effect that most certainly would be lost if hidden in a counter-hoarding butcher block.
Designed by Gert Wingardh, this Swedish kitchen's custom countertops and shelving are birch, the oven and cooktop are by Gaggenau and the antique stove in the foreground is original to the house.
If you've got space between your cabinets and your ceiling, you've got storage. Add wicker baskets and it's the perfect spot to keep lesser-used tools.
Apartment Therapy Projects Editor Dabney Frake completely transformed this rental kitchen for about $300 (a feat we applaud regularly). And while there are many, many lessons to take away from this makeover, there's a simple storage spot that's often overlooked, and that's your fridge. Attaching hooks to the side for things like paper towels and stashing away infrequently used appliances on top like a stand mixer saves a ton of much-needed surface area.
Connect a kitchen and dining area with a cute pass-through. Not only does it open up both rooms, but the countertop adds a spot for breakfast if you don't have room for a book in the kitchen.
From Elle Decoration France, a pale, heavenly palette is met with rugged leather handles for a nice juxtaposition of style.
In architect and antiques dealer Carlos Aparicio's French-Scandinavian kitchen in Miami, an elegant marble island is paired with Swedish stools by Jonas Lindvall.
Amanda Seyfried's Catskills retreat, designed by General Assembly, is a stylish (and slightly quieter) alternative to Hamptons living. Inside the kitchen, perfect for entertaining despite the limited square-footage, the range and hood are by Wolf, the Whitehaus sink is fitted with a Kallista faucet, and the backsplash is of tiles by Heath Ceramics. The island has a countertop of Caesarstone, the pairs of pendant lights are by Tom Dixon, and the cabinets are painted in Aganthus Green by Benjamin Moore.
In a Woodstock, New York retreat, a pony peeks into the kitchen, which showcases custom-made beadboard cabinetry, a Rohl sink and a vintage Moroccan rug.
This teeny tiny Swedish kitchen featured on Rue Magazine, proves that even if your kitchen is no bigger than the average closet it can still pack in some big style as long as you restrain yourself. A strict monochrome approach to dinnerware keeps it visually uncluttered (allowing the addition of some vintage pieces to feel fresh, rather than stuffy).
In this Cape Cod cottage, the small kitchen's custom-made cabinetry is painted in Tanner's Brown, and the walls are in Cream, both by Farrow & Ball. The countertops are butcher block, the sink fittings are by Waterworks and the Wedgewood stove is antique.
In a glamorous Paris apartment, the kitchen embraces a fresh vision of luxury with mod pendant lights by Tom Dixon and a custom-made, walnut-veneer kitchen island and cabinetry. The stools are by Mater Design, the ovens and refrigerator are by Gaggenau and the sink fittings are by Franke.

In this Manhattan home, high above the city, the kitchen's lacquer cabinetry is custom made for a clean, modern aesthetic. It is echoed in style by the backsplash and countertop, made of Calacatta marble. The range is by Viking, the refrigerator is by Sub-Zero and the print is by Ellsworth Kelly.
Embrace small space by going for black cabinetry. It'll look sleek and sophisticated.
If you have the ceiling height like this kitchen designed by Studio Lifestyle, then big, statement-making pendant shades are a must.
When you have just a few cabinet doors and a small stretch of countertops, your best bet for making a decorative splash just might be your refrigerator.
No counter space? No problem. A single shelf adds a spot to put the not-so-necessary (but actually, totally necessary) kitchen items like candles, art, and vases.
Like most Manhattan apartments, designer Kimille Taylor's Upper West Side abode has a pint-sized kitchen—but that doesn't mean she had to sacrifice style. The chic space contains a Bertazzoni oven, a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and marble counters. The subway tile is from Home Depot and the unique flooring is oak painted with a custom design.
Connecticut designer Patrick Mele didn't let size get in the way of showcasing artwork in this teeny kitchen. In fact, he used every opportunity to show it off.
Of of the most powerful design tools is paint. That was certainly the case in this small kitchen makeover on One Kings Lane, whose minty hue (which is actually a removable vinyl) mixed with copper and marble accents is beyond a dream!

We all know that small kitchens can be tricky when it comes to adding the unexpected. Think about painting or wallpapering the inside of your cabinets like this kitchen found on Popsugar.
Replace any dark cabinetry or tiles with white. It'll make the room feel twice as big.
In a gorgeous Cape Cod cottage circa 1880, deep blue makes an appearance on the wood floors and door frame, evocative of the nearby sea. A vintage seascape hangs above an antique butcher block, echoing the kitchen's ocean-inspired palette.
Designer Stephan Jones and San Francisco art dealer Francis Mill turned a former warehouse space into an art-filled apartment. The kitchen is no exception: the statement wall sculpture is by Manuel Neri. The cabinetry is by Henrybuilt, the countertops are PentalQuartz, the faucet is by Dornbracht, and the stools are by Overgaard & Dyrman.
Danielle Moss, co-founder of lifestyle blog The Everygirl, kept her palette simple and to the point inside her Chicago apartment featured on Clever. In a narrow space, it's sometimes best to opt for a simple color scheme like this to keep the look as airy as possible.
The backsplash is one of the most underutilized vertical spaces in the kitchen. Here, in the Montreal home of Marlène Deshaies, an additional shelf installed between the upper cabinets and the countertops makes room for an adorable collection of vintage dinnerware. When every little bit of space counts (or there's a serious lack of cupboards), this is a smart way to make room for more.
When you're a renter, it's not always feasible to add on-the-wall shelving, even if they are incredibly useful for expanding your surface area. One of our Design Editor's go-to solutions to this? A cheap baker's rack, like this one from Target.
If you're low on cupboard space, add storage on shelves. Copper-pipe shelving has hooks for hanging mugs, shelves to stack dishes, and looks super chic.
It's tiny, so every inch should be perfect. Wallpaper? Check. Patterned backsplash? Check. Art? Check. And obviously, you need fresh flowers, too.
In a Moscow apartment designed by Olga Kulikovskaia-Ashby, pendant lights by Tom Dixon hang above a black table in a quaint kitchen. The chairs are by Vitra and the plates on the counter are by Seletti.
Bulky pans can take up valuable space, so install an industrial pot rack. It's functional and stylish.
What the petite London kitchen of Hannah Cecil Gurney (daughter of Claud Cecil Gurney, the founder of bespoke wallpaper company de Gournay), featured on 1stdibs, lacks in square footage, it makes up for in bold jewelry box-like style, like gold leafed walls, bright blue cabinetry and whimsical hardware.
Create folding doors to close off the dining room from the kitchen. If space is tight, you'll benefit from the extra room when guests come over.
So you've got a tiny kitchen. Whether a rental space or something to call your own, a foot or two of counter space and maybe a wall to work with if you're lucky doesn't leave a ton of room to get creative, but give us an inch and we'll give you a mile of ideas. Here, 45 fabulous small kitchens chock full of solutions and inspiration to help you jazz up your tiny space and keep you cooking in style.
This little space found on Casa Haus takes some big risks that have huge style payoffs. From the orange Smeg fridge to the minty green cabinetry, it's easy to overlook the pint-sized floor plan of this candy-colored space.
If you have a sliver of a wall open in your kitchen, you can open up a world of storage possibilities with a humble pegboard. A handful of hooks is all you need to make a home for all your gadgets and gizmos if your drawer space leaves much to be desired.
What you may lack in square footage could potentially be made up in height. This clever kitchen spotted on One Kings Lane employs some super simple and chic storage solutions as the designer added another row of shelving above the cabinets balanced on wine holders!
The '70s are alive and well in this retro kitchen designed by Reath, whose chartreuse color palette and simple cabinetry give off a groovy feeling. Should you have a small dated kitchen you're not too happy about, try leaning harder into its era to make the most of it.
Looking for that fresh, sun-drenched vibe? All white-on-white (in a shade with warmer undertones) never fails. This New York apartment designed by Alyssa Kapito brings in some super blonde woods to round out the classic look that feels like a breath of fresh air.
If you are going to get an island, make sure it's got as much storage as possible. Towel racks, cabinets, or a storage rack underneath are musts.
A pair of 19th-century English chairs and a Kartell table fit perfectly into the corner of this tiny Brazilian kitchen in a São Paulo building.
Plants are a great way to add freshness to a small, stagnant space and, in this kitchen found on SFGirlbyBay, their wild limbs give movement and motion to the area.
We love the use of the decorative lighting in this small yet bright kitchen from Lonny. While inset can lights could have been used, the pendants add such a nice touch.
This super economical stainless steel shelving unit (a variety of pieces from IKEA's Grundtal series) in this kitchen included in our Big Book of Small, Cool Spaces provides ample opportunity to display some of your favorite kitchen things, both practical and pretty.
When your prep space is no larger than a closet, even one person can feel like too many cooks in the kitchen. These tricks will help you make the most of your counter space and cabinetry. And when you want to plan for your future giant dream kitchen, check out even more inspiration.
In a minimalist New York City apartment with pops of color, a narrow kitchen features cabinetry by Bulthaup, a countertop and sink by Corian, fittings by Vola, and an oven and cooktop by Gaggenau. The light fixture is by Bega, and the floor is terrazzo.
Sure, galley-style kitchens lack counter space, but you can make up for it by thinking of the space in stations: an area to prep, an area for stovetop cooking, and so on. Then you can make dinner assembly-line style.
If you have zero space in your kitchen, don't stress. Create your own storage nook on a nearby wall in your house by putting up shelves and placing some stools underneath. You'll have a place to put your bag, shoes, and hats when you come home, and a place for all those gifted cake stands you've accumulated. That's a thing, right?
To fake a lighter kitchen in a small space, paint the cabinets white. White-tiled walls, along with brass hardware and a milk-glass chandelier, also create the illusion of added sunlight.
In the galley kitchen of a bohemian family home, the kitchen's range and microwave are by Wolf, the refrigerator is by Sub-Zero, the custom hood is by Vent-a-Hood and the countertop is Calacatta Gold marble. Hans Wegner chairs, purchased at auction, accompany a table by Eero Saarinen from Design Within Reach. The vintage pendant light is by Max Ingrand for FontanaArte.
Once you decide what color to go with, don't forget about the finish. A high-gloss coating can help a small space feel larger.
Sometimes, all you need to create a small dining area for one or two is a shelf and two barstools, like in this hyper efficient (and totally lust-worthy) kitchen from Polish design site Ladny Dom.
This small but mighty kitchen spotted on Digs Digs is certainly a vision of efficiency (the whole apartment is only 40 square meters!), but its artful use of a glass divider and a clear acrylic dining chair keeps the space carved out yet open and spacious.
Ultra glossy kitchens tend to look a bit Euro-mod, but there's no denying the reflective (read: light-bouncing) properties it offers. This inviting space found via Lonny brings in warm brass cabinetry and an earthy stone backsplash to keep a welcoming vibe.
In a Southampton home designed by Steven Gambrel, the small kitchen is distinguished by glazed, black subway tile on the walls. The tiling on the floor is classic French and the white hood is custom made.
Adding some major wow factor to an already impressive kitchen designed by Studio McGee, these cement tiles take this space to new style heights playing off the deep hunter green, crisp white walls and modern lighting. In a small room, tiles can make a serious design impact (and because you have less square footage, the price is far more approachable). Oh, and if you're a renter, don't look away just yet. They sell peel-and-stick floor tiles in a similar style at places like Etsy.
The country home of the Kasliwal family—owners of the legendary Indian jewelry house Munnu the Gem Palace—is in a converted cowshed on the outskirts of Jaipur. In the kitchen, the custom cabinetry was made by a local artisan; brass urns hold wheat, rice, and other grains.
If you're hesitant to go full-on bold with a bright or deep color (but really want something different), perhaps you might consider just a hint of a color like the blush in this kitchen, a super chic Parisian guest house by fashion label Marie Sixtine.
In the Connecticut kitchen of accessories designers Richard Lambertson and John Truex's Connecticut kitchen, a factory stool from London adds industrial style to an otherwise quaint, country chic space.
Maybe you're looking for just a peppering of bold to give your kitchen some personality. If so, consider what was done in this fun and funky kitchen via Skona Hem, which paired a rich neutral gray with a loud, sunny yellow, giving the space instant personality. Plus, keeping the bright canary shade to just the bottom cabinets avoids overwhelming a small space.
If you've run out of wall and counter space, look up. Your ceiling is often untapped (and full of potential). Try a heavy-duty ceiling pot rack or try a DIY project like the owners of this small kitchen who created a hanging bar. Find the full tutorial here: A Modern Copper Kitchen Hanging Rack You Can DIY.
Magdalena Björnsdotter and Erik Björklund covered their century-old farmhouse in rural Sweden in bright white paint. The black and white kitchen includes a flea-market table, industrial-style chairs and a metal-and-driftwood pendant light by Olsson & Jensen.
This New York apartment's kitchen boasts a range by Wolf, the sink and fittings are by Lefroy Brooks, the cabinetry is by Smallbone of Devizes, and the Bertoia barstool is by Knoll.
This rental kitchen makeover by Meghan Pflug for One Kings Lane is gorgeous on so many levels (for real, don't miss the dismal "before"), but one of our favorite takeaways to try in your own small kitchen is the framed mirror in place of a standard backsplash. It's easy to clean but tricks the eye into thinking the space is twice as large as it really is.
Weren't blessed with tons and tons of cabinetry to stash away all your tools, pots and pans and the likes? Make your own fortune, instead! Take a cue from this vignette in a kitchen by Jersey Ice Cream Co. that uses a simple yet stunning gold bar and matching hooks to store essentials.
In Marisa Tomei's home, the small kitchen is marked by a Saarinen table paired with 1940s French garden chairs. The range is by Viking, the dishwasher is by Asko and the flooring is cork.
A farm table can do double-duty as a dinner spot and work surface, but make sure to choose wicker chairs. The open design makes a small room feel light and airy, as opposed to overly cramped and crowded.
You know the drill: whiter=brighter. Keep everything white, then add in pops of color from your serving ware, or even a SMEG fridge.
Apartment Therapy writer Nancy Mitchell lives in a small studio in Manhattan with very limited counter space. She remedied that by bringing in a compact rolling cart which acts as an island.
The Renter-Friendly Secret Weapon That Solved My Small Kitchen Storage Woes
Rather than trying to cover up this aged brick (there are surely far, far worse problems in the world), this kitchen discovered on Coco Lapine Design made it part of its decor. Whether you have beautiful brick like this or reclaimed wood or vintage tile, consider sticking with it before making big changes.
It's not ideal, but shelves are good for more than just plates. If you're lacking a traditional pantry, stack your snacks instead.
Foregoing upper cabinets altogether and turning to color instead, this funky galley kitchen spotted on Camille Styles is not afraid to take a chance. Not even when it came to traditional faucet finishes. Forget silver or gold and go with mint!
To keep countertops clear, tuck the toaster and coffeemaker away in a sleek appliance garage. A stand mixer can pop up from its own designated cabinet if you install a spring-loaded shelf.
Here's one more reason to love subway tiling. Use it all around your kitchen and it will help the space feel wider.
In a New York apartment, Bertoia side chairs surround a Saarinen table in the kitchen; the Akari light sculpture is by Isamu Noguchi, the candlesticks are by Ted Muehling, the cabinetry is custom-made and the Tara sink fittings are by Dornbracht.
If you're adding shelves for storage, you don't want them to look cluttered. Arrange bowls and mugs by color so everything feels cohesive.
If your kitchen is small, you likely won't have room for an island and a breakfast nook. Choose an island that'll do double duty — you can use it as counter space when you're prepping dinner, and eat at it later.
A breezy, beachy Southampton home belonging to fashion executive Scott Currie has a kitchen that—despite its seaside local— exhibits a modest country aesthetic. The farmhouse-style ceramic sink is from Rohl and the fittings are by Samuel Heath & Sons.

Healing is a completely natural procedure that is thought to be the process of self- healing through the beneficial flow of energy inside ourselves. It is a journey, deep inside ourselves to reach out for the problems that seem to be troubling us, with the aim to heal them through the positive transfer of energy. Healing consists of different activities that radiate positivity and unlock a feeling of joy and satisfaction. These exercises range from simple yoga practice to dance therapy and other character development activities, all of which have the same purpose of helping you drain the negativity from inside you, and filling yourself with the warm feeling of joy and happiness and the satisfaction to finally find your true inner self. You can find all this and much more, at the best healing center Thailand has to offer.
Though there are many healing centers throughout the world, Thailand has its fair share of the top healing centers. One such place considered as the best healing center Thailand has is SammaKaruna. It is located on the islands of Koh Phangan. SammaKaruna's Awakening and Healing Center offers the best healing programs in Thailand with a well thought out schedule. These are decorated with all the natural and human resources required for a perfect healing center. And consists of all the necessary activities you need to find your true and pure inner self.
The first and the most basic activity is yoga practice. It incorporates different schools of yoga to form a practice that will help enhance your healing process. The next is Qi Gong, the process of rhythmic breathing and static poses. It helps gain a deeper focus and to improve the energy inside ourselves. Dance meditation is also a vital part because the process includes body movements and flow of positive energy. Also because dance is a way to celebrate the good things in life. The SammaKaruna Angel's Walk helps you see the good in one another, while SammaKaruna's AUM Meditation allows you to open up your emotions. You let go and re-connect to what is your true self.
In addition, Awakening Classes are arranged to learn from experienced examples of wisdom and happiness so that finding the light inside one's own self is easier. The Vipassana Meditation only asks you to come and meditate with a positive, vibrant attitude. Tantra practice allows you to see the beauty inside yourself, and gain the sense of satisfaction that you crave. These and a few more activities are what can change your perspective of yourself, and of life altogether.
Along with awakening and healing programs, Sammakaruna offers extensive holiday packages with loads of positive activities. The fun-filled vacation programs help you towards self-betterment while you enjoy your vacations.

It's December, and though I almost suffered an itunes disaster this weekend, I managed to fix it without it doing too much damage. This week's mix is influenced a bit by some best of 2010 lists that are coming out here and there (more on that coming up soon), and as usual some stuff that caught my ear this week.
Also, It's snowing on the blog. If you're looking at this through a reader you should probably click on through.
- Imogen Heap – The Fire
- Laura Marling – Alpha Shallows
the grey in the city is too much to bear
- Regina Spektor – December
A very old song that I really only try to listen to in December. We are not evacuating this house, we don't believe in you and your wrecking crew.
- Akron/Family – River
While looking for a cover of the Joni Mitchell song I found this.
- Field Music – Them That Do Nothing
them that do nothing make no mistakes
- Moneybrother – Magic Moment
I love the chorus in this song.
- Villagers – Home
Everyone is starting to compile their best of 2010 lists. I found out about Villagers from one such list. This track reminds me a lot of Long Fin Killie.
- Long Fin Killie – Kismet
- Born Ruffians – Retard Canard
I don't want to start a flame in your heart, I just want to set the world on fire.
- Motorhead – Please Don't Touch
Forget everything you thought you knew about Motorhead and just keep listening.

1) Applicants must create 100% of all work displayed. Unacceptable work includes, but is not limited to: mold work, decoupage, dough art, dried or live plant arrangements, kit work, knitting/crocheting, manufactured items, studio work, production work. Absolutely no buy-and-sell items.
2) Work done by a production studio is not acceptable. Only artists displaying their own work may participate. No more than two artists may collaborate on work. All work must be designed and executed by the accepted artist.
3) Each artist must be present for the entire show, including the preview night. Artists may not use proxy or stand-in exhibitors and must be present with their work for the entire three days of the festival. Artists will be asked for identification at registration.

**To ensure that all artists are in compliance with the rules, a Festival representative will visit each booth on Friday evening to make sure work on display is representative of images submitted to the jury.
Booth Information
CFA is an outdoor art festival surrounded by the beauty of Toledo Botanical Garden, which certainly beats hot asphalt! This also means that we are at the mercy of Mother Nature. The weather in late June in our region is unpredictable, so our best advice: be ready for anything.
This also means we cannot guarantee that your booth space will be on completely level ground.
Below is the listing of prices broken down by booth size.
10' x 10' Standard Booth $275
10' x 10' Standard Booth on corner $425 (open on one side)
10' x 20' Double Booth $550
10' x 20' Double Booth on corner $700 (open on one side)
Booth spaces: Once accepted into the show, you will receive notification on how to select your booth spaces. Please note that we try to accommodate all artist requests for specific spaces and areas, and typically work on a first requested, first served basis. However, Festival staff reserve the right to place artists where needed in order to maintain a balanced show. Artists are required to limit their display area to the dimensions of the space they reserved.
Electricity is only available on a limitied basis and for a $100 fee. Another option is a personal generator that meets the following specfications: operate between 53 and 59 decibels (no more than 60 decibels – the Honda EU2000-I generator is a good example of the standard, super-quiet generator allowed). If there are complaints of noise, smell, location of generator, etc. the Festival staff reserve the right to require the artist to turn off, not use, or move the generator.

I was brought unto the team for La Femme en Nior to do hair for their Fall 17' line. We shot at the historic Castle Green, in Pasadena. I loved the mix of vintage and modern hair for this shoot. Enjoy! Photography by Lars Kommienzuspadt
A few months ago I was asked by my close friends Micheline Pitt to help out with a special secret project she was working on with vintage reproduction giant, Unique Vintage.
Working with Micheline is always a highlight for me. Her vision and imagination has no bounds. I love getting her inspirational pictures and making her visions a reality! I still enjoy working in the salon every day doing color, cuts and styling - but there is something so special being put to the test and working my creative muscles out.
We had such a great day shooting with Rachel Sadorey. I did classic vintage waves and changed the hair to a more Hedy Lamaar style.
