The truth about Venetian Plaster. - 06/29/08 02:28 AM
I had to write about it, because it made my Saturday absolutely miserable.
I love Venetian Plaster. I have done my bedroom and master bath in gorgeous marble like Venetian Plaster I have bought in Home Depot.
I had an absolutely terrible experience with Signature Venetian Plaster from Lowes today. I am an experienced painter and I used different types of plaster before. I just recently finished plastering my bedroom with Venetian Plaster from Home Depot and it was so much easer. I had no idea that Lowe's plaster is different. First of all, it is too liquid, almost like a … (6 comments)

An amazing home. - 06/28/08 12:45 AM
Because of my Photography blogs, I started getting more Photo jobs. I really enjoy tacking photos for others agents listings. The last week I got a call from a top producer in our town and he ask me to take photos of this an absolutely beautiful home. It is located in Old Town of Tacoma. Homes like this one you can see on the pages of magazines.
So, I was thinking about all this homes that were published. Did you ever sold a home that was published in magazine before & how did you use it in your marketing?
I asked the listings agent permission to write … (17 comments)

Showcasing the window view. - 06/22/08 04:38 PM
If you need to capture a room with a big windows, try to do it when the sun is on the other side of the house. Use flash and if the window is not the only light subject in the photos, you should be just fine. Try to line up the window frame and a horizontal line of the landscape behind the window, but in the same time use angles inside of the room. By capturing the image from the far away corner will allow you not to have a flash reflection on the window. Later on adjust light for the … (16 comments)

If you can do anything you want, what would it be? - 06/15/08 10:42 PM
I have talents but I do not use them properly. I was a good dancer; I never took classes or did anything about it. I did sing, my school used me in their concerts all the time, but since then I never did sing again. I take good photos, and I started making some money by taking photos for other agent's listings. But I never took classes and still do not have a professional camera. I live in America and I speak English somehow, but I still make thousands of mistakes. So, is it good to know how to do everything but … (26 comments)

Museum of Glass. Tacoma, WA. - 06/13/08 04:49 PM
Museum of Glass.
Tacoma Museum of glass in the one place you can not miss when you see the city for the first time. It is the most unusually shaped building in the downtown. I lived in Tacoma almost three years and I have been in museum three times. The last time I visited it I was completely amazed by spiritual creative energy and the fact that the best glass artist in Italy came to Tacoma to teach his techniques.. I spent three hours inside and I didn't want to leave. The new inhibition is full of the best glass … (1 comments)

McCrath's Fish House Restaurant in Federal way. Good seafood. - 06/13/08 04:29 PM
McCrath's Fish House Restaurant in Federal way.
If you live in Federal Way or NE Tacoma, you probably happily noticed how much the Common's mall area changed in the last year. The whole parking lot in front of the mall has been transformed in to a restaurant snova land. We have some nice places to go to eat now. And it is so popular that you can not find parking. The last two times I came to there to have a lunch with my friend, I had to drive 5 circles around parking lot before I finally parked.
McCrath's Fish House is one of … (0 comments)

Asado. Argentinean restaurant in Tacoma, WA. Great steak. - 06/13/08 04:19 PM
Asado is the best restaurant in Tacoma, in my point of the view. It is an Argentinean steak house that offers top quality gourmet food.
If we have family or friends visiting us from another states or a country, we go to Asado. It is a little bit noisy, crowded and expensive, BUT the food is amazing. And it smells so good even on the parking lot that you just can't walk by it without dreaming to try their Iron steak. again.
Expect to spend $50-75 per person for a three course meal with wine. Their cocktails are as great … (0 comments)
