I had the pleasure the other day of speaking with Mr. Derrick Penner of the Vancouver Province. After a 26 minute phone call this is the result. I have to add that I am pleased with how it turned out. Journalists are trained to look for the “money quote” and I’ve done interviews before where [...]

Local Stagers take it to the Small Screen
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008John Carter and the gang at Dekora have been taking part in the filming of a new show on HGTV called “The Stagers”.
