Something to Think About....


Oh, Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,

For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.

America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,

And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.

~George Carlin


It's up to you! Do we really want our children and grandchildren to be singing a different national anthem than we did as children?

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's.....

An invisible refrigerator! While doing research for my kitchen and bath class, I stumbled upon this nifty invention. Crazy, huh? Now I truly know why everyone says we are living in the age of technology. There are an amazing amount of different types of refrigerators out there!



Oh, here's the invisible refrigerator's counterpart: the invisible washing machine.

Does anybody else think that the orange juice cartons in the U.S. should have smiley faces on them? It would make my day to open the refrigerator to see this carton smiling out at me! Maybe it's just me, but that would be fun!!! :D

The Dishwasher....Not Just For Plates Anymore!

I've known people to put some pretty crazy stuff in the dishwasher- dog dishes, scrapers, aprons, but.....chandeliers??? Yep, that's right! Schonbek just came out with the Da Vinci, which is not only perfectly round and composed of Swarovski crystal, it is also dishwasher safe. Maintenance free has a whole new meaning! Even the larger chandeliers come apart in easy-to-fit-in-the-dishwasher pieces! Plus, it's incredibly gorgeous!

All Right, All Right!!!

My big sis introduced me to the world of blogging. She's so addicted to it and it seems like so much fun that I decided to give it a shot. I don't know that I will post many pictures of me or much about myself, but I figured that I could do kind of a hybrid blog: half about cool interior design ideas or new products and half about me. So, stay tuned for my first real blog! I promise to make it good! Until then, stay warm. It's getting cold outside!
