You think you know someone.

 When you hear the name “Paula Deen”, what comes to mind?  I’m thinking Bobby’s smashed potato cakes,  Bobby’s Caramel Cake or Bubba’s shrimp gumbo.   Isn’t that what she does for a living?   I had no idea she made furniture too!  Well, she endorses it anyway. 

We recently browsed a furniture “galaxy” as this one was called, and I have never seen more ornate and tacky furniture  housed under one roof, including the ornatest of the Newport Mansions.   Why, even Donald Trump makes furniture there… or rather.. he endorses it.  What does that mean, exactly?  It’s  the kind he would have in HIS home?  I’ll tell you this, what he endorsed is the most gawd-awful tackyness I’ve seen in a while.   Paula on the other hand, has good taste in what she endorses. I like the simple lines, the cottage or down south feel. 

 SOOOO…. when I came across her line of  home furnishings on the web, I fell in love with a bedroom.  After much discussion, a decent price and a review of the bedroom set we currently occupy  (it’s a King with the middle support thing underneath bent and no longer holding the middle up properly)  we placed an online order for a Paula Deen bedroom set…… assembly required.  *ahem*

  1. My hubby and I have had a four poster king bed for almost as long as we have been together… oh my, its old.

    This bed is gorgeous!

    I have to remember to have my husband come and view all the house pics. We had to tear down the family house on the farm that was over 100 years old… he so badly wanted to remodel it and live in it. He'll appreciate what you are doing!

  2. Nice!

    Shopping for furniture is hard. I do not envy you.

    I've been shopping for living room furniture and I agree with you so much; why all the poofy arms? Why all the ugly? Very hard to find stuff with clean lines. At least where I've been looking.

    That bed set will look so majestic in your master suite.

  3. this is beautiful and i love paula !
    it looks like everything is really coming together….i'll pack my bags and come for tea when the kitchen and backyard patio are ready for company 🙂
