My Country Home: Reading Spot

I love the colors of the walls in our living room. The color is Silver Fox from Benjamin Moore.

Here is a simple reading spot that really shows off Silver Fox.

This area needs a little something. Like a splash of color!

Say Goodbye to Ugly Betty with a Look at Some of the Stylish Sets

This week marked the end of the TV series, Ugly Betty, with the final episode airing on Wednesday (April 14, 2010).

This week marked the end of the TV series, Ugly Betty, with the final episode airing on Wednesday (April 14, 2010). I’m really going to miss this show and not just because of the amazing cast portraying some of the most original, creative and hilarious characters to ever appear on tv. I’m also going to miss the beautiful, over-the-top, and inspiring sets! Take a look at some of the different sets frequently used.

Up first is the hallway at Mode Magazine. This set was in every episode and the items on the shelfs lining the walls changed just about every week. In this past Wednesday’s finale, the shelfs were packed with detailed figures that I’m guessing represented real people involved with the show.

Up next is a shot of one of the offices. Most of the offices went through frequent looks and changed season to season.

Finally, my favorite set was always Wilhelmina Slater’s apartment. As someone who has lived in NYC (the show’s location) I can’t even imagine what the rent would be on an apartment of this size.

The Makeover Has Begun

It’s been a little less than a month since the better half and I moved into our first home and while we still have boxes to unpack and furniture to buy, we decided it was time to paint!

The living room/dining room and hallway will be receiving a coat or two (if needed) of Benjamin Moore’s Silver Fox. It’s a gray paint that changes dramatically as the lighting goes from natural sun to artificial lamp.

Here is a taste of what’s to come.
