The snow is retreating. Birds are chirping. The crowds have returned to the village. 2013-04-01 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/173/ http://www.designhazards.com/post/172/ Roger and I are in Atlantic City this weekend for the New Jersey Home & Garden Show. I snuck out of the convention center during a break between sessions to explore the boardwalk and take a few photos. 2013-03-09 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/172/ http://www.designhazards.com/post/171/ After doing a goat photo shoot (goatoshoot?) that involved chasing a tiny baby goat around the village and taking somewhere in the range of 600 exposures, I discovered that my camera's autofocus system was out-of-whack. 2013-03-05 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/171/ http://www.designhazards.com/post/170/ Roger and I decided that board-and-batten would make a nice addition to the look of our master bedroom. This time, I tackled the project myself. Here's how to do it and what you'll need for the project. 2013-02-28 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/170/ http://www.designhazards.com/post/169/ Our house has no fireplace. It may seem strange that a home built in the 1800s and nestled between two snowtastic mountain ranges wouldn't have one, but, as a formal village house, it likely served as a secondary summer home for wealthy folks who would venture up during the balmy season and wisely dash back to the city when things got chilly. 2013-02-17 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/169/ http://www.designhazards.com/post/168/ Buck and I did a little bit of exploring today. Here are some photos from our adventure. 2013-02-09 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/168/ http://www.designhazards.com/post/167/ I don't believe in ghosts. This is inconvenient, as I'm surrounded by people who do. 2013-02-08 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/167/ http://www.designhazards.com/post/166/ We just returned from a short business trip to a town that is literally a stone's throw from Canada. (We actually took the exit boldly marked as the "LAST EXIT BEFORE CANADA," which someone should use as an album title.) And while we weren't meeting or socializing with folks, we were in our hotel room watching TV. 2013-02-05 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/166/ http://www.designhazards.com/post/165/ We've been hard at work putting together plans for the house. Today, we plowed through a long list of decisions. I think the downstairs is really coming into focus. 2013-02-02 00:00:00 http://www.designhazards.com/post/165/
