When a client needs art rehung after a move, there is one tall man we like to call on – Ryan Barrett of ArtVerb. Referred to us by a client, Ryan is an artist himself and good to work with. He arrives in his uniform and bright green truck. He hangs art, from Group of Seven originals to posters, to maximum effect. And is a good listener. And tall. – Christie

Owner Susan in her wonderful store
The store is now owned and operated by the charming and direct Susan. She can do anything with lighting …. she’s even made a lamp out of a ski boot! If you have foreign fixtures that need rewiring, or are looking for a great selection of shades and finials, or want to update the look of a beloved lamp, or want to turn just about anything into a lamp, this is your place! Thank you Susan for hosting over 25 organizers at our Social Event.- Christie

For a beautiful paint job and a chance to practice your Spanish, call Gustavo Gutierrez of GGR Painters for your next painting project. He’s careful and thorough. We have used Benjamin Moore, C2 or Farrow & Ball on our projects together. Gustavo taught me that primer is one’s best friend! – Christie

A brand new store has opened on Mount Pleasant Road with a brilliant business idea. They sell high-end draperies on consignment as well as carry new draperies in eco-friendly reused fabric! A wonderful and very attractive addition to the strip. Thank you to Martha for the impromptu invitation to our group of 30 organizers during our October 1st Social Event. – Christie
