History of the Home Theater

Home theaters are becoming more and more prevalent in new constructions and many remodels. Even the common 'man cave' has become a venue for sports and movie watching.

Could you imagine watching a monk hold a lantern? My how we've come along!

Highest Valued Furniture on Antiques Roadshow

I am a HUGE fan of Antiques Roadshow on PBS- Even more exciting than the items are the peoples reactions to their treasure being worth tons of cash(or not worth buying at a yard sale).

Here are some interesting facts about some of the higher priced items to roll through the roadshow!

Friday Find - Robern M Series with TViD

Because everyone needs a tv in the bathroom and no one actually wants to see a tv in the bathroom...

Enter the Robern M Series with TViD.

I love to have the television on when I get ready for work in the mornings(Morning Joe on MSNBC is really my only source for news) and have always been concerned about having a tv mounted on the wall in a bathroom. Robern solves my design dilemma and hides the tv right in the medicine cabinet. Perfect!

Robern is available through a dealer network- find one close to you! 

#LetsBlogOff - I am Ultimate Grand Supreme!

I've never been good at following the Let's Blog Off rules.

Let's Blog Off is a bi-monthly event where bloggers from all over tackle an important and earth-shaking question with the ferocity only fellow bloggerati could understand. Actually anyone could do it. In fact, you should! Head over to the site and join in the fun.

This week's question: Guilty Pleasures: what's your favorite show on television?

Now I wanted to choose Color Splash with good ole David Bromstad....

But then I figured that since walking around shirtless never helped David design a good space meant that me doing the same thing wouldn't help out a Let's Blog Off post. 

So what do I like on television? Shock and awe, mainly... in other words, Toddlers and Tiaras.

No where on television can you see this...

the ferocious Eden Wood

... and then the endless stream of wonky pageant parents.

one, two, three and four

Any parent who will subject their child to this level of judgement based solely on appearance and gate without totally selling out and getting that extra mortgage on the house should be strung up by the rhinestone headbands they force on those babies. 

*smile*

I see nothing wrong with kids and pageants... In fact, being in the South(where most of Toddlers and Tiaras is filmed) pageants were always an entertaining event. My little sister was in pageants. Fortunately, my parents weren't crazy and didn't spend on dresses the way most families spend on automobiles.

The show is classic though. I do little more than laugh at the parents and then squee when Eden Wood wins again. She's the Tiger Woods of the pageant world.

Fortunately, there are still spray tans available in Mississippi and another season of Toddlers and Tiaras starts up June 15 at 10/9c.

You will now go to the other Let's Blog Off post and scoff at their silly shows... Write a post of your own! Think about it... there's no way it's as bad as a 30 year-old sports nut watching little kids in a pageant.
