What if your sofa could scrub your feet too?

Krista Watterworth — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:59:01 +0000

I like to multitask. If I could take a bath, watch international news, call my mom, answer emails and feed my babies all within an hour I’d jump at the chance. That’s why a sofa made from a recycled slipper tub is just my kinda thing. On my first HGTV show, Save My Bath, I received countless requests for the hundreds of antique tubs, sinks, toilets and hardware that we were ripping out of dated bathrooms. I would often wonder what kind of man would want an old 50s toilet. Hmmm… I digress.

But this Cast Iron Bathtub Couch shows that if you’re a creative and talented DIYer then anything is possible with old bathroom fixtures. It’s a wonderful green strategy too. Send in pics of your recycled bathroom items and WOW me! This is what we call a real conversation piece.

What Do Ceiling Fans & Badonkadonk Have in Common?

Krista Watterworth — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:36:08 +0000

Yes, I did say badonkadonk… check your urban dictionary if you aren’t hip to it. I came across this advertisement for Big Ass Fans and I thought that’s my kinda company. They used a catchy name that will surely gain attention especially if you like big butts and you cannot lie (thank you Sir Mix-a-lot).

Who can argue with a company who names one of their ceiling fans Isis, the Egyptian goddess of magic and light. Whoa. That’s crazy talk. I can say all this because their product represents quality. Interior Design Magazine gave Big Ass Fans the Best of the Year award in 2009. Not too shabby. Anyway, check them out and tell me what YOU think.

Alien Body Shower

Krista Watterworth — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:01:41 +0000

I’m not really sure what to think of this body shower system in the shape of an alien-slash-human figure by Aquantass, no pun intended. The description is very artistic and poetic “longing for wholeness is a constant.” Hello? It spews water from it’s mouth. Odd or interesting? Someone please help me with this one. When you see it do you say WOW! or What the Heck? And BTW, what is she wearing in this picture? Something from a bad 80s porno?

Splurge & Save: British Colonial Dining

Krista Watterworth — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:14:28 +0000

It was very timely that on my show this week I did a British Colonial dining room for the Herman Family. A striped wall treatment, pops of cherry red accents and lots of travel inspired accessories makes for a vintage style Colonial space with charm and mod appeal. Here’s the Room Recipe for this space:

BEFORE

AFTER

INGREDIENTS:

Splurges
• Chandelier
• Chairs
• Custom Drapery Panel
• Mirror

I painted the old 1980s sideboard

Saves
• Slip covers on new Parsons chairs
• Table – Tome built the table from a salvaged door
• Rug – faux zebra
• Striped painted walls – instead of expensive wallpaper
• Sideboard – I painted it black and changed the hardware
• Picture framed maps/birds
• Candles – we made our own!

Slap Some Bling on It

Kimberly Synnott — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:04:42 +0000

Haute Hippie couldn’t be more spot on with their Dickies-slash-necklace inspired creations. Not really sure of the correlation between a Dickie and these embellished tanks but I suppose it has something to do with the neck.

An Old Dickie

The “dicklace” as so endearingly named adds umph and sexiness to any outfit. A simple white tee with jeans, add the bling and boom you literally light up the room. I think the PR department of Haute Hippie just wanted to be a bit controversial to get attention. Marketing with a sexual connotation almost always works, yes?

The Dicklace

Similarly, a beautiful crystal chandelier dresses up and adds a sexy flair anywhere you place it. It’s the perfect ingredient for a bland space. White walls never looked so good. They’re dressed up and ready to rock with some sparkle.
