Things You Can Do With A LIVING WALL....

You could buy a warehouse to live in and do this !!!

I would definitely do this !!

I can see me living or working here in a heart beat.


You could hang a few to cover something you would rather not look at.

.....I would need to carry it around with me all day. wink wink
Cover an entire building.

Need some fresh air ? Stephan from Architect Design told me that english ivy in a home has more air purifying abilities than any other house plant.

Have you ever been frustrated trying to pick an exterior paint color? Go REALLY GREEN.

How about covering a new wood fence ?

If you have little or no room to plant something in front of it , do this.

An exhibit of living walls.

Look how you can cover those ugly wire fences. These are stunning.
I did a post on an apartment with living walls of english ivy, and I wondered how they did this.

In this post I will reveal how it is done and where you can get it.


Can you think of a place where you could use a living wall ???




Click to enlarge and print these out if you are interested.



You can mix it up, and use different plants !!

This would normally be a big concrete (boring) wall.
This must be spectacular in person.


Oh yes, and you can do a roof too.

Miss Pettigrew And My Two Of My Favorite Things......

This movie is full of beautiful Men & SETS,

my favorite things in life to observe..
This is Nick. He is sexy ....this is a bad pic of him. He is definitely my type.
This is the ever so delicious Michael.
This is Delysia..........the lovable,wacky, and screwed up struggling night club singer.

Rent this movie. It is almost an 'adult disney flick' with a good message.
Delysia and MISS PETTIGREW in the art deco apartment. M.P. is a woman with a message.
This LOVE.....he is adorable.

Look at that face ! Those eyes.....

Miss Pettigrew gets lucky too.
The reason for this post is that the sets are so great. I almost stopped the movie when it first started, because in the beginning Miss Pettigrew is getting food at a soup kitchen. It is 1939 in the movie, which means the crash was in 1929, that is 10 years !!!!

Do we have 9 years left in our great recession ???

I adore Art Deco. The set in her apartment is magnificent. The iron railings, the art deco panels on the walls. Even the lamp shades on the lamps. Her bedroom is faboo too.

I spent several years importing from Paris french art deco furniture. I love it and would love to live in the apartment featured in the movie.
Back to the issue of me wanting to stop the movie because it was unpleasant to watch the difficulties of the main character Miss Pettigrew at the soup kitchen......

One of my defects of character is avoiding unpleasantness, the tedious motions and movements you to have to do to get through a task.

And my task at hand was watching the movie. I forced myself to continue watching and it, and it turned out to be a complete pleasure.

It is very difficult for me to 'do tedious'.

But, when I do finish a task it is always gratifying.

Why are some of us plagued with this character flaw ????

I have to work on this daily.

Lately I have been chanting to myself....."just get it over with , DO IT".

Don't Buy Me This Ever

Not just because I find it to be extremely unappealing (translation : ugly), but because.....

It will melt here in Florida.

Just like me.

This is a horribly hot summer, and we have another 3.5 months to go!!

I want to be in Maine.............

Cheri, I Am On A Rant !

The Movie

I hope my mom sees this pic. My mom will want to paint it. In fact she painted my grandmother smelling roses in the same way.
This picture of Michelle Pfieffer, walking in a gown across the sand on the shore....is something I might do.... but, I would not look like that !

But how great is the feeling this image evokes ?

In this picture, I get the feeling she might be the sort of woman who throws caution to the wind.

And from the story line , ha ha , I think she does.

The headboard is Art Nouveau, I LOve , LOve LOve. (the railing in the 1st pic is too)
When I go to the movies....50 % of the time I don't care for the film....
But, No Worries....there are always the sets to examine under my mental microscope.

Ladies (and I use the term very loosely - lol )......you know you have to see this film.

Look at the architecture , the cars, the clothes etc, etc !!!!

And let's not forget how close up we can get to inspecting any 'WORK' that Miss Pfeiffer might have had since her last film. I know it is a ' Meow Meow' sort of remark, but hey....this is a minor sin. I am a designer, what do you expect ??? I am allowed, and often it is one of the ONLY PERCS in this business.

And , besides...I am just jealous.

Not to mention , I am pretty good at doing detective work on my computer....maybe I can find out who the plastic surgeon is if 'the work' is any kind of great.
And there is sex.
Look at the cast ! Look at the oriental black lacquered screen !

Do you think you would like to see this ? If you go, don't thank me.

Thank Heather @ Habitually Chic, I got the idea from visiting her.

The Movie Site 'CHERI'

P.S. sensitive readers, don't go getting all offended about my remark about 'Ladies'.

I say; " Loosen The Bone Wilma !!"

Lighten the heck up.

This blogging stuff is not supposed to feel like a science project.

It should on occasion make ME laugh !!

You Guys Always Do ' TABLE TOP THURSDAY'....

I am in love with this Chinoiserie Bed.....I might even do something unspeakable to acquire it. But, back to the ' table top' issue.....
Okay....the elite blogger's ( and I mean this in a GOOD WAY ) do 'Table Top Thursday'.
Carolyne Roehm

has given us some ideas for The Bedside Table Tops in our guests rooms.
These are so scrumptious.
Wouldn't you feel special with all this effort made for your arrival ??

Isn't that the point !! ???
I don't know...that's a lot of markers ?<":{

If I arrived and saw this, I would assume ( if visiting my mother) I would be put to work marking something....marking many,many things.

This one is ideal. It is such a pain to be a guest and have to ask for every little thing that you might need. That’s why my suitcase has to be HUGE.....it is packed with everything that I think I might ever need over the course of a lifetime.

Well.....it sometimes seems that way.
