Fashion and Beauty Interest Already Emerging After ‘One Day’ | August 23, 2011

Fashion and Beauty Interest Already Emerging After ‘One Day’

Based on the international best-selling novel by David Nichols, One Day, starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, premiered in theaters last Friday on August 19, 2011.  Although weekend box office stats can not be completely determined until Monday afternoon, by Saturday there were already indicators that One Day was not going to meet the expectations of movie critics and its producer, Focus Features.  It ranked fourth at the box office among competing Friday released films, Spy Kids: All the Time in the World taking first — more than doubling One Day‘s gross earnings (see boxofficemojo.com for complete weekend box office stats).

New Flavored Crystal Lite! | February 7, 2011

New Flavored Crystal Lite!

I’m not sure which I like best, the reclaimed wood mirror, the salvaged wood console or this cool table lamp chandelier. Luckily, I don’t have to choose and neither do you. Now you can have it all.

This mirror is big and it’s made from reclaimed wood, actually old boat wood. It shows the wear and tear of the high seas and that makes it all the better. Weighing in at almost 200 pounds, this wood mirror can handle a big wall and a big space. And so can this console. Also made from salvaged wood, this console is … Read More »

Flying Saucers? | February 2, 2011

Flying Saucers?

What I really like about this space is the big mirror. Made from reclaimed wood, this mirror is big and will not be over looked on any wall. And while you’re picking just the right place to hang your mirror, why not break tradition and hang two mirrors on the same wall. It’s all about … Read More »

3 Simple Ways to Determine Your Decorating Style | January 7, 2011

3 Simple Ways to Determine Your Decorating Style

So much pressure befalls on folks to “have a style”. If you’re not sure what that answer may be there is no shortage of quizzes, online tools or design “experts” to choose an answer for you. If you’re tired of giving the same old response of “I dunno…Pottery Barn, I guess”, may I suggest three simple ways to identify what your styles may be. I use the plural form of the word because most Americans don’t have just one favorite these days- not like in the 90′s when French Country was French Country and not “Country Chic mixed with Bohemian … Read More »
