the lamies aka apartment therapy homies

happy new year. got nothing 2 do today except sip a bloody mary? here's a mindless time waster.

the homies. a small buzz this past week in decor blogland.
lame & douche-y.
over 600 mostly self nominated "home design" blogs. nobody heard of most of them, certainly not the top 100 on everyone's blog lists. the homies r like bitches fighting over a bone. cute bitches for sure, but still all fighting for a $50. prize from the uber apartment therapy which can afford alot more than that. they surely could have gotten a sponsor 2 cough up a good prize, like say a couch or something. what douches they r, & maybe not, coz they got a zillion new e-mail addresses for their data base.

here's the gwd nominee prize. u can put it on ur blog with the caption 2009 homie nominee. u can buy the actual boxers at cafepress.com
gwd was actually nominated by some dweeb. what a laugh. but gosh u loved me, u really loved me. gwd got 9 votes!

in the middle with 30+ (votes): velvet and linen, visual vamp, la dolce vita, a cup of jo, made by girl, u know like blogs u heard of. the 20+ votes had eddie ross, peak of chic, style court, hooked on houses, absolutely beautiful things - i doubt they bothered 2 beg 4 votes, being 2 cool 4 this.

the high rollers of the blogs we know came in with 40 - 70 votes. in the 40's: cote de texas, decorno, material girls, urban grace, isuwannee. 50 votes or more: my favorite and my best (yay!), coco and kelly, whorage, m21 (way 2 go douche!).
& here it is my lovely losers, dweebs, & douches, i give u ur top 12: cheziarrson, trick my brick, little green notebook, desire to inspire (yay!), brooklyn limestone, all the best (yay!)...
but u can only vote (if ur a loser with time to waste) 4 the top 6 here
top 6: retro renovation, making it lovely, decor 8, door sixteen, remodelista, young house love

i can hardly wait 4 the 2010 girly awards. here

battle of the big gay sofas

while douche-de-corno posts yesteryear's stale joke about a lame penis chandelier, gwd being an equal opportunist posts the more on-trend vagina light switch. thanks 2 a loyal reader 4 sending me this fab light switch.
douche-de-corno also posts about big gay sofas, referring to mitchell gold & bob williams who pitched their new book to her.

it's a nice enough book, & i love these guys. i caught them last week on the today show & they r as cute as can b.


but the designing couple i like better is william diamond and anthony baratta who wrote a book called all- american.
they are precious & they rock the decor 2. i kind of get them mixed up with the other 2 - they all look related.


check out this backsplash!
& check out the pierced tin on these doors. let's get out the hammer & screw driver & have at some sheets of tin.

luv the way these guys make country smart & chic.

the print on the couch is pure wit, especially with the horsey sculpture behind it.

luv the dining room 2.
& plaid will never die! just ask alexander mcqueen and vivenne westwood & every catholic girl u know or stripper that rocks a uber mini plaid skirt on the pole.

both books are on amazon.
u can go to pointed leaf press 2 turn the pages of all-american. it can't replace a book & it is annoying, but still u get 2 see this book is worth having.
so which big gay sofa do u like best? be a douche & discuss.
