What happened to our taste?

Okay, so we can't help wondering outloud, what the hell happened to our taste?  What is it that make MTV's Jersey Shore popular?  What is it that sells magazines that featured Gary Coleman's deathbed's picture?  Worse yet, CNN's poll shows that 85% of people think that it's OKAY for his ex-wife to sell those pictures!!!  Why, why, why we ask?

And did you know, the White House crasher made the cut to the Bravo's series Real Housewives of DC?

Here's an excerpt from the Bravo site:

"Michaele Salahi
This northern Virginia native and model is a big part of the inner workings of the D.C. life. She and husband Tareq together founded America�s Polo Cup, for which he is the U.S. team captain. Through her involvement in the Polo Cup, which has become one of the largest and most high profile polo events in the U.S., Michaele has met numerous political leaders across the globe. Additionally, the two are involved in running the Salahi family vineyard, Oasis Winery. Always on the move and juggling multiple projects at once, Michaele is heavily involved in charity work, including being an advocate and fundraising for MS and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. A family girl at heart, Michaele loves spending time at the family vineyard with her stable of horses and beloved dog Rio."
 
No mention of how tacky these people are and how many lawsuits they are involved with (check out the details here).

Home Addition Remodel

Here's one of our latest projects for an addition and renovation of a 1970's contemporary home in New London, NH.



The addition will house a new garage on the basement level and Master Bedroom suite above.



A spiral stair in the Master Bedroom will access the third floor studio.  The renovation includes replacing all of the old glazing with Eagle Windows with Douglas fir frames.  Check back for progress!

New from Wisteria

Nothing excites me more than new arrivals from my favorite catalogs. On my wish list:
I'm not sure which room this boat would go in, but I adore it! I love the wood finish. This is something I would buy and ask my mom to sew new fabric sails. Perhaps a Belgian linen or in the newest fabric from Schumacher, courtesy of my sister who keeps me in the know of their latest and greatest offerings. (Thanks Gina!) I might have to order this little boat and do just that!

What a great piece at a reasonable price. I'm always pleased with the quality of casegoods from Wisteria. I think this would be so sweet in baby's nursery. This is $1699.

Wouldn't this be fun in the utility room? $129

I love this screen so much that I would probably carry it around room to room for the first month. I LOVE the wood finish. $649
There are so many things on my wish list from Wisteria. Since they are known for their amazing sales, I'm eagerly anticipating the next big one!
