Margaret Long Design Blog

Thanks Eric For sending me this!

While cooking supper yesterday, my husband was in the den flipping around on the TV when he yelled from the sofa, “Margaret you have got to see this house”.  Rounding the corner, I was floored that he was watching MTV’s ‘Teen Cribs’.  “Wow, that is an amazing and tastefully done home” I said as I sunk down into a seat. 

For the record, I have never been a huge fan of ‘MTV Cribs’.  It always seemed more about the car’s rims and swimming pools than the home itself.  It always cracked me up that people live in million dollar homes with only mustard in there refrigerator.

Anyway, MTV’s ‘Teen Cribs’ is totally a different beast.  They were actually showing very sophisticated homes designed with kids in mind.  Most homes were in Connecticut and had beautiful outdoor living as well!  A must see for TV!

I have received a good many emails this week asking why I have not posted!  Just wanted to let everyone know that I have not disappeared, I am just in boxes up to my elbow.  I will return!

I just became a sad little muffin!  One of my favorite online stores just closed its  doors. Shabby Chic was a great place to go and see just pretty things.  Though I am distraught, life goes on!  Was the sky not stunning this afternoon in Atlanta!

One of my very favorite shows growing up was Bewitched.  I adored Elizabeth Montgomery, who I thought looked just like my mother and her 1960’s super chic home.  A little history: Bewitched began in 1964 in black and white and finished with color in 1972.  Though the interiors changed twice, the floor plan of the set never did.  Ok, so this is the exciting part! Drum roll please…………………………

I just found out that you can buy the floor plans to the famous Bewitched house!  Could you not just die!  OMG this is splended news!  You can live in the magical wonder that Samantha, Darrin and little Tabatha lived in!

And the interiors!  Ahhh…….How great!

Goodness what a day!  First, I spent the whole day in Athens, which was wonderful, (see above article) then travelled back to Atlanta to hear The University of Georgia’s head football coach, Mark Richt, give a beautiful testimony to his faith.  Thank you to my friends and neighbors at Collins Memorial United Methodist Church in hosting such a touching event!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend!
