Stars & Stripes FOREVER!

Thanks Eric For sending me this!

Jun 29 2009

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” goes the popular refrain. Of course, this little jingle is referring to Christmas, but for me those words can only apply to the 4th of July. I am, after all, unendingly patriotic. So, as a tribute to my favorite holiday, I am posting my favorite interiors, crafts and other special things that I love about the 4th of July this week.

ENJOY

Teen Cribs

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!

Shabby Chic No More

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!

Bewitched

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!

First Floor Plan:

And the interiors! Ahhh…….How great!

I was so excited to have the chance to meet and chat with the soon-to-be graduates of The University of Georgia’s furnishings and interiors program. What excitement they hold for the field of interior design. These students are coming out of school with so much knowledge and capability. I am truly energized about each one of their futures!
