Had an AMAZING trip to Maui! We went to Maui for 10 days.  This is the 3rd time I've been to Maui.  I think it's one of my favorite places ever! The people are so full of the Aloha spirit.  Everyone knows just about everyone on the island, and it's all about just living a simpler life. The weather was gorgeous, the air so sweet, and to top it off, I actually played a USTA tennis tournament while I was out there. We stayed in Kihei, which I really like.  The tournament was in Kapalua.  I also discovered Kula with a new tennis buddy of mine.  That is where Oprah has her organic farm. I learned a lot about the tennis community on Maui.  It's quite substantial. I'll have some blog posts coming up soon with pics and hot spots on the island. Aloha!!

Dining rooms often seem to me to be the rooms with the most furniture and the ones homeowners use for more than one purpose.  Therefore they tend to collect things not related to dining.  When you are getting ready to sell your home take a really close look at your dining room.  Most dining rooms are furnished with a table and a collection of other furniture pieces including china cabinets, buffets, servers, sideboards and those "extra chairs".  This dining room is the perfect example: The photo is taken from the foyer so it is the first impression when you walk into the home.  As a professional stager my first goal would be to create a sense of spaciousness in this room.  One sure way of doing that is to make sure the opposite wall is visible.  Here, the opposite wall is largely hidden... 02/22/2011

The last time a ran into a band so motivated to play and record was 1995 Melt-Banana from Tokyo Japan. The Mobius Project emote the same energy, and thus creating the same feelings I had for Melt-Banana, they just want to play their music, they’re nice people and they don’t let drugs, drinking and sex get in the way. They’re not a caliber of band that can play all genres, yet they have uniqueness to them. The guitarist has similarities of Duane Denison physically and musically, though he (Jeremiah Demster) has a long way to go to be as good as Duane, The drummer (Dan Bell) is affluent in raw emotio... 01/27/2010
