A few months ago, I discovered Kids Crooked Houses, creative playhouses for kids that look like cartoons that have sprung to life, and planned to do a post about them. Then I saw them featured on Jon & Kate Plus 8 last night, and it was fun to see the four Crooked Houses they created [...]
Jon and Kate Gosselin have had their hands full lately–not just with those cute kids of theirs, but with their marital troubles (they just celebrated their 10-year anniversary, but not together), an investigation into whether TLC is violating child labor laws by filming at their house, and even some allegations of pet abuse. Then I [...]
I loved HGTV’s Green Home 2008 so much that I showed photos from it again just a couple of weeks ago. I had a few quibbles with the decorating, but overall, I thought it was a great example of a small(ish) house done right. The HGTV Green Home 2009? I’m not so sure. I have [...]
I love Sally Field. I love her so much I’m going to resist doing a joke about how I like her–I really like her! I got totally sucked into watching the first two seasons of “Brothers & Sisters” on DVD this month while working on this post about the sets. She plays Nora, the matriarch [...]
Welcome to another Movie Monday, when I feature the beautiful homes used in television and film. With due respect to the fine actors in the 2008 version of “Brideshead Revisited,” the hauntingly beautiful Castle Howard was the true star of the movie for me. Castle Howard is considered to be one of the grandest private [...]

Gossip Girl is a popular series on The CW that I got hooked on this year. The clothes and sets are fabulous, so today I’m showing you some of them for “Movie (& TV Show) Monday.” The camera could simply follow these [...]
Right about now, HGTV is sneaking up on the winner of the HGTV Dream Home to hand them the keys (tune in at 8/7c). Do me a favor–try to react with a little more enthusiasm than last-year’s winner. I’m still getting comments on that post from last March about it. Since no one has invited [...]
First of all, I have to thank all of you who begged me to do a post about Nora Walker’s house in the TV drama “Brothers & Sisters.” I rented Season One and was immediately captivated by not only Nora’s home (shown here), but daughter Sarah’s, too. The sets are all amazing on this show. [...]

Wow! Have you seen HGTV’s Dream Home 2009? I love the white farmhouse look and all of the gorgeous details on the front porch. You’d never know it was brand spanking new. At least not until you stepped inside.

Aren’t these light fixtures great?
Take the virtual tour at HGTV and see what you [...]

Boy, what a crazy week it’s been. If you follow me on Twitter, then you know I spent Election Day in the hospital while my husband had surgery. Now he’s home and recovering nicely. Thanks to all of you who wrote and asked how he’s doing! I have the best, most caring [...]
