Joel McHale

I have a major crush on Joel McHale. How can you not? Funny is hot. His Hollywood home was featured in InStyle in December 2010 and since my scanner has been MIA for months (still have not hooked up the new one! argh!) I am just getting around to posting this. His wife, Sarah Williams, whom he starting dating in college, is an interior designer and it shows! I hear that Sarah and her collaborator, Elizabeth Gordon, both use to work for Kelly Wearstler which makes sense as you can certainly see the designer's regency influences reflected in this home. Ok, so she is married to Joel McHale AND worked for Kelly Wearstler...I'm turning a little bit green.

Is It A Pigeon Basket or A Coffee Table?

A basket for carrying pigeons.

A coffee table made out of a basket used for carrying pigeons.

Why not?

They are pretty much one-of-a-kind, as they are made from actual pigeon baskets with casters added on the bottom and a glass top to make it functional. But never fear, wait long enough and Pottery Barn will knock-it off and you can buy a mass produced one straight from their catalog. And so can your neighbor. And their neighbor. And so on and so on....

Do you remember the Friends episode where Rachel bought the Apothecary table at Pottery Barn but lied and told Phoebe that she got it at a flea market because Phoebe hates Pottery Barn? I actually saw that episode being filmed when I was in L.A. Still cracks me up....

Jerseylicious!

Does anyone watch Jerseylicious? No, not Jersey Shore it is the low-budge knock off. Well I did for the first time last night. OMG. Now I will throw out a disclaimer because I realize that not everyone in or from Jersey is like this. Just like everyone from Georgia is not a toothless redneck who says "ain't." But this show (however fake it may be) does make me laugh. On the episode I watched last night, the two girls that live together redecorated their apartment. I wish I knew how to show you a picture of the after (if someone has it, please email it to me so I can add it!!!). But it went a lil' somethin' like this...

These are not direct quotes but I was frantically trying to write down what they were saying about their makeover and this was all I could capture...

"There are rules, you can't just put animal print on animal print."

Um, really?

"We call it Junglelicious!"

I think I just vomited in my mouth.
