It seems not a question of if, but of when, Hollywood will see fit to remake this classic, with Brad Pitt in the title role and computer-generated imagery (CGI) technology to “improve upon” the actual North African desert. I can’t stop that from happening. But I can urge you to bring a cushion, have an extra jolt of caffeine and let "Lawrence of Arabia" wash over you like a hot, pure desert breeze. “Masterpiece” is a word that, through careless overuse, has lost much of its meaning – but if this film hasn’t earned the distinction, I’d like to know who a critic has to kiss to get the standards changed.

Grosso brings a different kind of style to downtown and people have noticed, coming from as far away as Vancouver. "The response has been overwhelming," she says. The mix of furniture, lighting and home accents is well-edited, resulting in pieces that create a simple but sophisticated style. Natural elements such as larges pieces of coral, sea shells, mazanita branches and dried-reed bamboo add to the refined aesthetic here.
