Upper Eastside Inspiration

Last night I just happen to glance up from my computer screen in time to see something on Gossip Girl that made me stop what I was doing, pause it and rewind it, all so I could get my lazy butt off the couch and take a picture of the screen with my phone. 

 See that brick wall? All distressed with white & teal paint. That's a slab of mortar after my own heart!

After a little Googling I found some better shots of the loft set on the show courtesy of Design Evolution

I've learned from Michelle at Design Evolution that the sets on GG are decorated by Christina Tonkin who previously worked for production designer Jeremy Conway decorating sets for Sex and the City. Those are pretty fabulous jobs, huh?

Here's one more shot of the prettyness for you

Let me refresh your brain on what my kitchen looks like...

Ta da! Brick paneling that is held up with more glue than a 1st graders macaroni art project and would surely destroy the walls and require new dry-walling if taken down. Hmmm my wheels are crankin up in that ol' noggin of mine!

 

Top 2 Tuesday : Characters

This week Taylor asked us what our Top 2 Characters You Would Want To Play on a TV Show or Movie

1. Willy Wonka

C'mon... don't even ACT like you wouldn't LOVE to have lickable wallpaper and a chocolate river.

2. Grace (from Will & Grace)

I have almost all the seasons of this on DVD, I can't stop laughing once I put them in. The writers of this show are pure geniuses... I would love to have come up with half of the one-liners they do!

Who would you pick?? Come play along!

PS Thanks for all your sweet comments about my dress I wore to the bachelorette party... I was hiding because I didn't want to stand out more than the bride-to-be! I had to laugh, because I looked back through all the pictures trying to find one that actually shows the dress and there isn't one!

You can find it here, from Ann Taylor Loft - except I belted mine with a thick black belt and wore nude colored open-toed heels (not boots, sorry ha!) I plan on taking it to Jamaica with us in a few weeks, so I'll definitely have pictures then!
