Next house for Hamilton Spectator

Love the paint

This is a rare glimpse inside the Buffalo State Pschiatric Hospital-built in the 1800's and closed since the 1990's. It was open as part of a Preservation Buffalo conference. It is a fabulous HH Richardson building-now stabilized and awaiting a new use.

The Buffalo Psychiatric Hospital open for a tour this week. It has been closed for over 20 years, and is being preserved and restored.

One of my favorite houses belongs to Jane and Grant Hill. It is full of love and cherished items collected over many years. My story on their 1856 home was in the October 6th edition of the Hamilton Spectator. The link is below.

Future home decor features for the Hamilton Spectator

A 1950's house in Hamilton with a view of the city and a view into the woods. This story will be in October 20th Hamilton Spectator.

I like painting objects in my basement

Hamilton Harbour showing the limited palette of autumn.

Outdoor flowers coming indoors. Hope my brother likes this better than the philodendron.

I painted this using Brushes on iPad. You have to love anemones.

Tender plants moving indoors

Brought my philodendron inside today after a summer outside. Sad. It's a wonderful plant though, transforms a boring room.
