Kerplunk!! Fun AND exciting!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

So while traffic continues to be the worst it’s ever been (yeah, I know I say it every year but sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on 114!?). \u00a0 I’ve had plenty of time while sitting in my car to observe my surroundings. \u00a0 One of the things I’ve noticed lately is how much people in the Hamptons love art. \u00a0I mean this is the land of Pollack and deKooning right? \u00a0It only makes sense. \u00a0But considering my idea of art is a cat doing chin ups saying “hang in there baby,” I sometimes have a hard time deciphering what the heck some of this stuff is… \u00a0 take for example the following two pieces. \u00a0 \u00a0I’m sure they were expensive but what are they? \u00a0 I have my own interpretation! \u00a0 \u00a0 This first one, I call Kerplunk…. named after one of my favorite childhood games!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

YIKES! \u00a0It’s going to attack!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Then low and behold… my favorite new addition to the Hamptons gallery! \u00a0The three Headed Dragon! Are there any more great works I’m missing,\u00a0feel free to e mail and let me know! \u00a0 This is located in front of Guild Hall in East Hampton. \u00a0 I apologize to any of the artists responsible for these works but I only took Art History 101….. and I got a “C.”\u00a0 \u00a0Gosh, I don’t know why but I hear Helen Reddy in my head every time I see this thing! \u00a0 \u00a0In fact, I’m going to rent “Pete’s Dragon” tonight!<\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe but it’s been 12 years since I sold my first property as a professional real estate agent. \u00a0 But as much as things change, they’ve also remained the same. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0One of the constants is a well maintained and modern kitchen helps a house sell! \u00a0 \u00a0Every now and then I’ll go to an open house and see a kitchen that hasn’t been touched since ’73 and the agents remarks, \u00a0“it has great potential.” \u00a0 \u00a0I always want to retort “if you’re an arsonist!” \u00a0 But alas, being the good agent I am I bite my tongue.<\/p>\n

But if you’re thinking of selling your house and don’t want to spend a fortune to renovate, what are you to do!? \u00a0Well lucky for you, my friend designer Libby Langdon has some really great ideas. \u00a0 \u00a0So here’s some free advice on updating your kitchen without spending a bundle.<\/p>\n
