Love This Bedroom

I'm gathering all the photos and info for my post about how I created my vintage inspired art tile fireplace but in the meantime I wanted to post this random item. This bedroom was in the spring Romantic Country Issue #106. I believe it's still on the news stands. This magazine is edited by a famous & fabulous blogger...Fifi O'Neill. To check out her fantastic blog go to...   Chez Fifi

I just keep staring at it. My bedroom is in desperate need of a makeover...well...actually I really haven't done anything to it since moving in....so I have bedrooms on the brain. I love this bedroom and yet it's nothing like I am planning on doing and yet I keep going back to it over and over. I do adore the fresh look of it. I like the bed a lot, it's similar to mine.

I love the turquoise pillows...the lime green quilt with the white linens. But you know what it is that I love best? It's that Motel sign. I covet that Motel sign. I must have a sign like that. Ever since I saw it...I've been thinking about making one....that is THE thing in this photo that I am dying for. That is why I like this bedroom so much.

I don't know... I like that bedside table too.

I told you I was snowed in...

This morning, I discovered my friend Petra had posted a picture of her house on Facebook surrounded by all the snow we had this weekend. So I copied it to include here...hope she doesn't mind...I don't think she will.

Just another example of one of the wonderful homes in my neighborhood. Petra has a weird fireplace situation in her home....much like mine was. Mine was totally removed whereas her's was altered from the original. I'm going to help her create a new fireplace that looks old in her home. I'll post photos as we work on this project. But for now take a look at her super cute house in all it's snowy wonder.


Love me some Ga Ga!




I just had to post about how great The Grammy's were tonight, especially Lady Ga Ga...she's definitely a Mod Vintage Girl. Love, love, love her. Her duet with Sir Elton was over the top fabulous.


If you missed it...check it out on YouTube...




I was truly amazed by Pink's performance. I couldn't believe her aerobatic skills. 




It was jaw dropping amazing. Is everyone just going to keep trying to top one another till someone ends up dying mid performance at one of these Award Shows?




It was news to me that Green Day's "American Idiot" will soon be a Broadway show. When I first got that CD...I thought...this would be a great musical on Broadway...obviously some big time producer had the same idea. Wonder how long till it makes it way to Oklahoma City...hmmm probably 15 years. 

 


I thought the 2010 Grammy's were just fantastic...the performances over the top better than seen in years...but it didn't seem like they gave out many awards. Just lots of performances. The announcers kept saying this or that person had won earlier in the evening...but we hadn't seen that win...so it must have been heavily edited.




Oh...one more thing...poor Taylor Swift...when do you think someone is going to tell her that she is tone deaf? She sings flat. From the look on Stevie Nick's face during their duet...I think she might tell her immediately after they left the stage. Well, if she didn't, she should have. Taylor seems like a very nice girl...and she appreciates all she is receiving award wise. She should, because one of these days someone is going to burst her bubble and say..."I'm sorry....you write good songs and you are pretty...but you sing flat and all those awards you received were only because of the millions of teenagers infatuated with you. One day you're Taylor Swift...

the next day your Britney Spears...

just ask Miley Cyrus.
