Who hates oak?!! How can *anyone* possiblyhate oak!!?
You have a BEAUTIFUL home. Iit!
I think it''s rich..some people don''t like it, but I am just proving a point..it doesn''t look ''dated'', and can be made to look more modern!
I posted a thread about painting trim in my family room, and some people suggested I paint the oak fireplace. Everyone has different taste and different opinions. Thanks for the compliment Phoenix, I love my home and have spent much time decorating and redecorating, and upgrading EVERY room of the house since I''ve owned it ( 5 years now)....it''s so much fun!

Good eyes!! There's a few of those pics around. That one is my hubby and kids, just outside (across from the ACC). We live about 3.5 hrs north of Toronto, but my husband will occassionally bring home tickets for the Leafs game (platinum seats at that), take the kids out of school for a day or two, and we drive down, watch the game, stay the night, do some shopping..etc. It's great!! I'm not a Leafs fan, but I do enjoy sitting 3 rows up from the rink, getting in seat service..the guys that bring you beer/wine are awewome!! Are you a Leafs fan Kat?Date: 4/21/2009 2:42:34 PM

You can see the same colors flow thoughout the dining room, and kitchen, as does the floor. It's all the same level, with one half wall separating the three different spaces.
Your house is GORGEOUS, but I am wondering who is in the picture on the table with the Toronto Maple Leafs logo...is it you???

You know, I used to be a hockey fanatic. Like, when I saw the Leafs logo, I immediately thought of Mats Sundin...anyway, I have a little daughter that takes up a lot of what used to be my hockey-watching time
I have to admit, I saw the logo and got kind of excited (well, and the fact that you sit 3 rows from the ice...wow). But that picture/logo takes a definite backseat to your house pictures...my goodness, it is absolutely beautiful (I personally love oak), and spotless, too!

Hey now...maybe you should start that whole different thread about partying with the NHL''ers! (I have been to the Celebrity Bartender event for the STL Blues quite a few times...fun bunch, there!)Date: 4/21/2009 4:54:42 PM

Mats is cool! I miss him now that he isn''t playing for Toronto! Hockey is my life..a hubby who played for years..and two boys who play competively..so I''m involved with hockey for 8 months out of the year, travelling alot!!
Cleaning house is my job..I''m fortunate to be able to stay home, so I feel the least I can do is keep the place tidy all the time (which is difficult with two boys who take 5 minutes to mess up, what took you 4 hrs to clean!). If I worked full time, the place wouldn''t look so tidy, and the housekeeper would have her hands full!! lol

Beau--Your home is beautiful! Of course, that's not surprising after seeing your fabulous taste in jewelry.
I wish I had your flair for decorating. I love our new home, but I am at a total loss for decorating it. Maybe I'll get around to posting pictures and begging for advice once the school year is out . . .
I LOVE your home! The oak is beautiful in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of wood, in general.
Thank you Crystalheart..I think I did a decent job...I love my house !!Date: 4/22/2009 12:53:40 PM

Beau -You did a very nice job with your house. I love your wood and iron railing... was that custom ?
We are in the middle of a big kitchen/hallway/foyer renovation.. it has been going on for a long time.. My husband had to tear out two old floors and install a new hardi backer subfloor..that alone took several months..he just finished. In the main foyer we installed a marble medallion with porcelian tiles and black granite inserts at every other point. He had alot of prep work to do with clipping the tiles corners. Next we will be installing our new kitchen cabinets..we still have to make a final decision on our granite.. You are lucky to be done
Some of the old sayings are true... if you don''t have anything nice to say... don''t say anything at all..
