MID-CENTURY MODERN REMODEL LOVE STORY

April 3, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Mid-century modern has a nice ring. Whether a chair, a table, or a house, there’s a built in appeal to the name. Mid-century people are called baby boomers, but you knew that. And there’s little that gets between a boomer and their stuff.

WIFE TONE? WHAT IT MEANS, WHAT IT DOESN’T MEAN

February 26, 2023 by David Gillaspie

A wife tone is the only note a husband needs to memorize. One tone, one wife, no others need acknowledging. Not a Mom Tone, a Boss Tone, Neighbor Tone, Friend Tone, or Kid Tone. It’s usually delivered in the key of A, the holy A, the first letter in the alphabet. Can you hear me? […]
