Lord of the Key Rings

There's certainly no shortage of luxury options in Canada.  World-class cities like Vancouver, Toronto and others provide a wealth of luxury living and lifestyle opportunities.  One company offering a taste of the high life in Canada is renowned automaker Mercedes-Benz, which has been operating in the world's second largest country for over 50 years.  Along with the quality automobiles expected from the brand, Mercedes-Benz Canada deals a very unique key chain.  The cost of the Luxury Key Ring is a whopping $17,500 CAD.  Yes, I just used a comma when writing the price of a key chain. And no, that price does not include a new car – key ring only. The platinum key ring has a brushed finish with the Mercedes logo engraved on the side. It also holds keys.

Under a Starry Ceiling

Lying on the ground and gazing up at a starry night sky is a singular experience.  Whether looking towards the heavens to contemplate the meaning of life, or simply to relax and enjoy the composition of the cosmos, absorbing the view of a clear, bright sky can be magical.  Now, that magic can be recreated in your home.  StarMurals are unique five-dimensional works of fine art that reproduce the night sky anywhere you wish.  Be mesmerized by star clusters while in bed, soak in a comet as you bathe in the tub, or be surrounded by galaxies as you watch a movie in your home theater.  The secret formulation of materials used in creating a StarMural causes it to be invisible during the day or in normal room light, but glow all night long.  "The Startist," Rip Read, will travel anywhere around the globe to create one of his out-of-this-world masterpieces. A StarMural sure beats those blacklight-activated, plastic glowing stars you affix to the ceiling.  Learn more about the murals and contact The Startist here.

Kenneth Roberts Estate

Kenneth Roberts was a prominent author of historical novels, including Oliver WiswellLydia Bailey and Northwest Passage, which inspired the 1940 film of the same name starring Spencer Tracy.  Now there is an extraordinary opportunity to own the renowned author's former estate.  Roberts' historical fiction writings were often set in New England, and many times depicted his home state of Maine. Looking at the 70 breathtaking acres in Kennebunkport on which he used to live, it is easy to see how Roberts gained inspiration from New England's amazing landscape, in addition to its rich history.

Two months before his death in 1957, Kenneth Roberts received a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation for "his historical novels which have long contributed to the creation of greater interest in our early American history." Your chance to own not only this remarkable estate, but also a piece of that history, is offered by Pack Maynard and Associates Real Estate.

LUXE BBQ

Spring has sprung and summer is ready to...do whatever summer does. Simmer? Sizzle?  Whatever the word, temperatures are finally going to start to rise. Soon I'll be able to wheel my grill out of the garage and onto my deck for some serious barbecuing. Unfortunately for owners of the Ultimate Outdoor Kitchen & Entertainment Center, their BBQ isn't nearly as maneuverable as mine.  However, what it lacks in mobility, it more than makes up for in pretty much every other category.  This luxurious creation boasts not only a professional-grade grill, but also a cocktail center, built-in beer tap and integrated bench seating.  Two waterfalls set the mood and a fireplace warms the chilly evenings.  And what would the great outdoors be without an auto-rising 42-inch plasma TV?  Probably not as great as they could be.  Manufactured by Cal Spas, this oasis provides the ultimate in outdoor luxury entertaining (as its name implies, I suppose).
