"i'm takin' the dog, dumb-ass"



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. Examples of some of the "I love must have one chairs" are below. Walk yourself on over to the website...jimmiemartin.com

a different kind of pop art

* dad , daddy , pa , papa, pop *my pop is the father of six girls and a self taught artist. One of my first memories of his art is a mural he did in charcoal on a large red wall in our living room. It was a stagecoach with horses, it seemed to jump off the wall into the room.  I loved it. He also created  a barn 'look' on the second floor landing of our house. 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...
