Some of you had asked me in previous posts to show pics of our new condo! It is called the Saucer House because of the curved windows - kind of like looking over Toronto from the inside of a flying saucer. Here you go! Of course, you will see no evidence of tikis here (besides the 'Percussive Pineapples' LP framed on the wall) because I am planning a tiki entranceway. All tiki mugs and epehemera are still packed away in boxes from the move. Hopefully this weekend work on the tiki entranceway will get underway - I will post Trading Spaces style before, during and after pics.

What a swingin' pad! Nice bay view - does the glass door lead to a deck? How much is a place like that? I understand if you'd rather not say.

Yep, that's lake Ontario in the background, and the door leads to the balcony. It is a 1 bedroom, with wee closet sized den, (where I sit right now) and I don't mind saying it cost 240,000 dollars. Yes, I am butt-ass broke now! (Hence my conspicuous absence at Hukilau and Exotica Chicago. This was the reason).

I thought it was more like "Blonde...Jane Blonde". Or is it brunette right now?

Very, very cool pad TikiFish.

Very cool place. I'm afraid of heights...(that's why I'm glad I'm only 5'9")

Very nice! I have a friend that framed a lot of Enoch Light for his walls - strangely - looks a lot like your place. I would love all of that light.

Sweeeet! You Hogtowners know how ta live! Kidney-shaped glass coffee table with tripod (teak perhaps?) base, oh yeah, that's the s**t all right. And your pedestal furniture - it's all perfect. I love it. We will trade you Ollie for it.

Just kidding!

aloha,

The chairs (and I am pretty sure the stools) are Canadian - they were made by a company in Montreal or Quebec that imitated the Saarinen Tulip style of chairs and table. I only know this because that's where they keep turning up. You see these mostly in Canada. I like them just as well as the real thing, and they're cheaper (though still not cheap, and still hard to find). I don't know the name of the company though - The bottom was stamped KD but it ain't 'Knoll Designs'.
Picked up the 2 chairs and table for 200 bucks, and the stools were a wedding gift from my very cool mom.
