Redondo Portugal. This is where cork comes from. The trees are stripped of their cork every 7 years. It gets manufactured into wine corks, flooring, shoes, wine labels, the list goes on. For anyone who wears cork shoes or has a cork floor you know how wonderful it can be to walk on: soft comfortable and warm.There are groves of beautiful cork trees everywhere.

Vila Viçosa Portugal. If you’ve ever wondered how marble is mined, here it is... it is a massive quarry. Beautiful marble, mostly white with stain streaks running though it. Everything is marble, even the roads.

Create a private beautiful space for your bedroom with a top down Hunter Douglas duette blind and velvet brocade drapes.

I love working with local artist Tony Bloom. A panel of copper was commissioned by Tony and cut into five pieces. The cherry wood frame was custom made by Tristar Woodworks. The reflective copper glass was purchased in Calgary.
