DEMYSTIFYING DESIGN

The big chair statue in downtown Thomasville, NC. Isn't this thing fabulous! I tried to climb up on it a few years back and almost got arrested.

Jason has been a very bad blogger as I have been driving and driving to reach High Point, North Carolina for the furniture shows, and I literally passed out at the Holiday Inn Express last night after dinner at Applebee’s. So you’ll get your fix of “Weekend Warrior” probably on Saturday, so put away those paint cans and screwdrivers and go make yourself a double Screwdriver cocktail and loll about in anticipation.

Can we discuss highway-hugging hotels/motels–let’s call them “ho-motels,” although that sounds a bit racy and our right wing followers are probably up in arms (do we have any right wing followers?).

Ho-motels: They aren’t quite motels and they aren’t quite hotels, hence “ho-motels.” But, either way, they are invariably BEIGE, BEIGE, BEIGE! Come on, folks, give me some pizzazz. And don’t even get me started on the lack of verve at Applebee’s. At least give me a take-home cocktail mug shaped like a boot with my laminated menu.

Anyhow, we are back on the road and will arrive in HP late afternoon. The airwaves have been going crazy since our departure with blog comments from Yvonne about her bad-ass blue wall-to-wall carpet, Catherine bemoaning her curtains, Juliet fretting about her front foyer, and Alison Brod talking about Snooki.

Gals, we will get back to you. And probably from a Chick-fil-a.

If they have wireless.

Back to road…
