Homes for Sale in Elsah, Illinois - 07/27/09 12:25 AM
As regular readers of this blog know, one of my favorite things to do here in St. Louis' Illinois suburbs is to drive along the Great River Road from Alton, Illinois to the towns of Elsah and Grafton, Pere Marquette State Park and beyond. The combination of the mighty Mississippi River flowing alongside the soaring limestone bluffs is magical.
Today we'll take a closer look at Elsah, a charming enclave tucked among the limestone bluffs on the Mississippi River. The entire village was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s.
Elsah's site along the Mississippi River north of Alton, Illinois was first … (4 comments)

SAVE THE PINK BATHROOMS - 07/15/09 10:18 AM
As a child of the 1950's (LATE 50's thank you very much), I was imprinted from birth with certain home design aesthetics that might not be as appreciated by a mass market today.
Our family's first house, was the hip of heights for its time. The kitchen counters were cut from a boomerang patterned formica from a design created by one of my heroes, proto industrial designer Brooks Stevens.
The living room was dressed with blonde accent furniture (some of which I still have today). Guests sat on a curving, red sectional sofa. A great gold zebra, captured in mid-prance, hung on … (2 comments)

One of the best real estate sales weapons in our arsenal at Just Ducky Homes is the common suburban Storage Unit.
