			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend I visited <a href="http://rainbowhill.ca/main.php" target="_blank">Rainbow Hill</a>, a stunning new modern townhouse development in Victoria. The show suite, open Saturdays/Sundays 1pm-4pm, is furnished by Gabriel Ross.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0495.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2144" title="IMG_0495" src="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0495-450x336.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="336" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0498.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2145" title="IMG_0498" src="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0498-450x336.jpg" alt="Front Entry with Garage " width="450" height="336" /></a></p>
<div id="attachment_2146" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0494.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2146" title="IMG_0494" src="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0494-450x336.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="336" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Front Entry</p></div>
<p>The entry opens up to an open concept kitchen/dining/living space through to beautiful huge windows overlooking Victoria with glimpses of the ocean.</p>
<div id="attachment_2147" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_04811.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2147" title="IMG_0481" src="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_04811-450x336.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="336" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Living Room</p></div>
<p>The fireplace in the living space is simply amazing. It&#8217;s completely inserted and flush with the wall. Its low level flame flickers across its horizontal width adding the perfect amount of warmth to this modern space.</p>
<div id="attachment_2158" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0493.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2158" title="IMG_0493" src="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0493-450x336.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="336" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nanimarquina</p></div>

<p>My journey through this show suite was filled with surprises &#8211; from radiant heat flooring to an entire lower level living area, den, and tonnes of additional space open to customization. Space, space, and more beautiful big windows.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Straight up, the first time I saw this sofa, I did not like it. Not at all. As far as I was concerned it was over-designed and had way too much going on for my personal taste.  Who buys this sort of thing?</p>
<p>Then, one day, I sat on a Maralunga and was forever changed.</p>
<div id="attachment_168" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/maralunga-sofa-and-two-chairs-with-lc4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-168" title="Cassina Maralunga Sofa and 2 Chairs with LC4" src="http://blog.gabrielross.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/maralunga-sofa-and-two-chairs-with-lc4-450x223.jpg" alt="Cassina Maralunga Sofa and 2 Chairs with LC4" width="450" height="223" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cassina Maralunga Sofa and 2 Chairs with LC4</p></div>
<p>Designed by Vico Magistretti  in 1973, this collection of chair, two and three seater sofas solves many problems. Especially for those height advantaged people that happen to live with height disadvantaged people. Also, for multi-use rooms that may be used for more formal entertaining on some occasions and at other times a more casual, climb on in and relax occasion.</p>
<p>2008 marked the 35th anniversary of this Iconic classic and what has changed in that time? Well, Gabriel Ross is now one of a very limited number of Cassina dealers in Canada and now when I see a Maralunga, which I just happen to everyday because there is a sofa and chair right outside my office, I just can’t fully understand my frame of mind, the first time I saw one.</p>
