There’s a lifestyle movement afoot that’s striving to be innovative, affordable, sustainable and potentially disruptive — the tiny house movement.

Boston Skyline from the Cambridge side of the river

Three Secret Gardens In Cambridge, Massachusetts

August 3, 2014August 3, 2014 Kathryn

Cambridge, Massachusetts is Boston’s fraternal twin.

Bloomin’ Among the Ruin

April 17, 2012July 21, 2014 Kathryn

Detroit has fallen on some hard times. Its wealth and prosperity are gone. What was once a vibrant city with two million inhabitants has become a broken, hollow and burnt out shell — almost. Scratch the grime encrusted surface of this city and you can still make out the grandeur that was there during the […]

Sherwood Gardens, the most beautiful tulip garden in America, is in its full glory. Located in the heart of Baltimore City and surrounded by stately homes in the Guilford neighborhood, these gardens date back to the 1920’s.
