  I loved  the show 'Designing Women'  from the get go. Four smart, funny, sarcastic women who run their own interior design company (Sugarbakers). What's not to love? So many of the episodes are classic, but  the episode where Bernice gets a nose job tops my list.  Here's how it shook out.  Bernice surprises everyone at Sugarbakers with the news she is having plastic surgery to make herself look younger. After seeing a computerized reconstruction of her face, she insists on taking a loan against her life insurance policy to pay for the operation. However, when the surgeon makes her nose look like a pig's, everyone is afraid of telling Bernice the truth. JULIA: I want you to bring her back here afterwards for a drink, and all of us will sit down and gently as possible just be honest with her. SUZANNE:   Oh, that outta be easy. We'll just get her liquored up real good and say "Bernice......it's about your snout...."...

Complete with split rail fencing used for the stair rail - the only thing between us and certain death was termite ridden timber. But, it looked fabulous! Our house had only one bathroom and with seven females in the house including my Mom, you can imagine how my Dad felt the need to make his mark (so to speak) in the one room he really had no control over. T hus, began our summer spent retrieving rocks from the river; for what would become the most famous bathroom in town. It was a good size room with a long wall of mirrors, a claw foot tub, the essential toilet and a window.  Pop's idea was t...

This is one of my all time favorite lines from the movie Legally Blond. Elle helps Paulette get her dog back, and with new found confidence Paulette tells her boyfriend she's takin' the dog. To me, this is a victorious statement. I use the line when I feel I've overcome something difficult or taken a chance and it pays off.  This blog lay dormant for over a year, until I decided. "I'm takin' the dog, dumb-ass"  My favorite line and a some of my favorite furniture - together at last. Jimmie Martin Ltd.*  was established in 2004,  by Jimmie Karlsson and Martin Nihlmar.  The duo  quickly attracted attention for their signature combination of classic elements blended with an ultra-modern, eccentric touch.
