What an exciting week as I hosted houseguests, balanced work and supervised my house painters. Rosebrook Gardens is getting a paint job after 14 years and everyone is amazed that it’s lasted that long. Here’s my secret…it’s stain, not paint.

But don’t think you can just put stain on paint and get the same results. Stain goes on stain and paint only goes on paint. Years ago when I was first painting my home from the original god-forsaken “pink” color I hired a painter who said “well, your new color is not my first choice, but the stain idea was a good one.” That said I quickly learned how stain can outlast paint and truth be told, stain as a finish is easier to maintain on a shingled house than paint. Mostly due to the fact that stain is absorbed deep into the wood, and gently wears off the shingles over the years. When it is time to restain it again the stain is absorbed into the shingles.

I got a rare opportunity to talk with violinist Joshua Bell at his home in Chelsea. The artist’s three story home is totally designed by him. It is exquisite; in fact, Architectural Digest is featuring his home in the magazine. He also designed a large space where as many as 200 friends can enjoy an evening of music much like the salons of Paris.

Joshua showed us his fabulous wall of musical heroes and how talked about how they have been part of his life studying music from a young age with his teacher Joseph Gingold. He even gives us the back story of his body double role of the violinist in The Red Violin.

He has a new album appropriately title “AT HOME WITH FRIENDS”, which breaks away from the standard classical repertoire pairing him with musicians from Sting to Chris Botti. Better will be airing an in depth story Tuesday, September 29th. Make sure to check your listing for your city also check out Bettertv.com and The Better TV channel on YouTube.
