Today I am introducing you to Toronto-based interior designer Anne Hepfer. I first ran across Anne's beautiful work on Pinterest and that led me to her beautiful portfolio. A New York native, she graduated from Parsons School of Design, majoring in Interior Architecture and Design. In 2003 Anne founded her own New York based interior design firm before relocating to Toronto.

ornaments bowlOne of my favorite shabby chic Christmas decor ideas for Bethlehem Pa apartments: a bowl of ornaments. All those extras, the old ones, vintage balls, or ones that have lost their ends can be used for a bowl of Christmas. Use as a center piece or on the buffet table. I have a clear glass bowls of blue, gold, and silver ones on my fridge top. Looks smashing.

Modern White Interiors

Facebook Dilemma

I’m in need of advice.

I usually hit Facebook every week and give updates of the blog and “like” some people I follow etc. but today I cannot log into my facebook account without giving a cell phone number (they say it’s for security reasons). Since this account is for the business, and we don’t use a cell phone for the business but
a regular phone line, I’m at a loss, since they want to sent a text with some code to say it’s okay for me to use my facebook page.

I do not wish to use my own personal cell phone number for the business, plus
I have my own personal facebook account linked with it so it would be impossible anyway. In addition to this: Why do they need to collect cell phone numbers???? It seems like more and more our privacy is being taken away. I think that facebook is officially dead for Apartments i Like.

Does anyone have any advice for me on this issue?  It would be greatly appreciated.

It's the most expensive Co-op apartment ever in NYC. But whoever has this much cash available, or gets his bank to join in, will not regret it. A whooping 12000 square feet (which is about 1200 m2) and so many terraces that one was converted in an outdoor ice skating rink for a party once. The owner, Grammy Nominated songwriter Denise Rich (what's in a name), is selling it as she suffers from empty nest syndrome.

Hotel Sterling:  The UnDead Days

An Introduction

I was glorious when I came to be, no one can dispute that fact.  Despite not functioning as an actual hotel for decades, I am The Hotel Sterling.  I know that some of you still remember me, and I delight in that observation immensely! 

When I opened in 1898, I was, and always will be, Wilkes-Barre’s grandest example of a luxury hotel, built during the Golden Era of luxury hotels.
