Putting Your Art Centre Stage
As an interior designer, I'm often called upon to assist clients with displaying artwork and photographs. My personal preference for less is more in design often comes into play in these situations. It's just a good idea to display multiples and groups of images on one wall, leaving some walls empty. The temptation to fill every open piece of drywall with framed art is a common mistake of new homeowners and it can make or break the décor of a room. It's best to have just a few focal points and some negative space.

Healthy Housing Demand
While global housing activity in early 2013 has been mixed, Canada's housing demand remains healthy said a Global Real Estate Trends report released by Scotiabank.
The report found in the majority of world markets housing conditions are "fairly steady" and average home prices relatively flat. However in countries like Asia and Latin America as well as the United States, home prices are again accelerating supported by a stronger domestic economy. In other countries, namely struggling nations of southern Europe, price declines are continuing.
