Bath, ME

Home owners in Bath, Maine have many businesses and services, locally, to help them with just about anything they may want to do in terms of improving, maintaining, decorating, furnishing, expanding, updating or just plain living in their homes! I thought, from time to time, I would shine a light on some of our local "stars."

One such business recently in the spotlight is Day Matero Studio which is located on one of "America's Ten Best Streets," Front Street, in Bath. The firm provides architectural and lighting design services.

The spotlight shines on Greg Day, who recently earned the Lighting Certification designation from the National Council of Qualifications for Lighting Professions. This is a program established by the lighting industry to create an industry standard that covers the entire lighting field. Greg was born in Brunswick, Maine and is a nationally recognized lighting designer as well as a fine artist whose body of work includes the Elva Project and illustrating a textbook on interior lighting design.

We are so lucky in our area, that we don't have to go very far to find high quality products and services - they are right in our own backyard.

Snow On The Pumpkins

We actually had our first snowfall in Bath, Maine yesterday but nothing "stuck" - This morning, I woke to this pretty scene of Snow on the Pumpkins on my back patio.

I have to tell you that the cooler fall weather hasn't stopped the real estate buyers in our area (if anything, it has energized them) and it's become quite the busy season; with the imminent passage of the extended and expanded home buyer tax credit, real estate professionals may not get a break this winter! I'm working quite a bit with relocations - our area is affordable and we still have a good supply of homes for sale because of the upcoming closure of the Brunswick Naval Air Station. Sellers can get motivated when it's time to fill the oil tank again!
