Mad Men Bar -- Armoire Bar - Make Your Own

While perusing Pottery Barn, I ran across these first three pictures of bars. As always I immediately thought of Mad Men, and how there was a bar in every house (pics below of bars in Mad Men and Rope). So it got me to thinking about an old armoire that was made to hold a TV that is in storage here at the house. I wonder if I could convert it into an Armoire Bar? Might be something for my January renovations. I can't help myself, every January I set about redecorating and renovating, not spending tons of money mind you, just repurposing. Oh, and it always involves rearranging. Maybe a bar like this will get included in my repurposing. If so I'll post pics. Hopefully this gives a little inspiration.

Sorry I don't know where this picture is from.

The Egg and I - Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray

I love old movies. Especially ones about fixing up old houses. This one is from the Ma and Pa Kettle series. It is called "The Egg and I". It is starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray. It is a true classic. Great classic Black and White movie. Great story line about two city slickers that move to the country to start their own Chicken Farm. It is tons of laughs. If you have never had the chance to see it, you should take a bit and enjoy it.

Happy New Year 2010

Make 2010 your best year ever!!! Please be safe this New Year's Eve.

Yeah!! I got a Magic Bullet for Christmas. Yes, I wanted one. I have seen the infomercial tons of times, and I think it is a hoot. Already made the Frozen Margaritas. Next, the Frozen Berry Sorbet. Then on to the low cal Bean Dip. Yeah. What crazy gift did you get that you really wanted?

Do you remember the Original Penguin Shirts? I remember them as a golf shirt my dad wore. I believe you could find them at JC Penney. Well, they are back with a new generation. The 20 somethings just love them. Oh, and they are pricey. Not like you remember, except the penguin logo, and a tad more updated styling. None the less a classic is back.

"Remember The Night" Old Christmas Movies TCM Turner Classic Movies

Turner Classic Movies is opening their vault and showing some old Christmas Movie Classics. The one below is "Remember The Night", with Fred McMurry and Barbara Stanwyck. I missed the first showing, and have to admit I have never seen it. Wonder if Netflix has it? However, good old TCM will show it again on Christmas Eve. I love, love, love cheesy Christmas Movies!!
