Gilmore Craft Projects

Posted by Lorelei on Jan 8, 2010 in Gilmore Girls | 4 comments

If you could pick any Gilmore house to live in which would it be? Would you choose the elegant but don’t touch look of Emily or the homey look that Lorelei has going? From the few shots that we see of Sookie’s place in earlier seasons it may be my favorite. Here are a few small mental notes of projects I would do if I was crafty and owned my own place:

• I’d recreate the huge bullentin board in the Dragonfly kitchen. I love how it’s framed out with really unique molding.
• I would decoupage a cut out of a rose on a brown lampshade. For some reason this is the first thing I think of when I envision Lorelai’s house.
• I’d paint paneling yellow and then add a glaze over it to simulate the Dragonfly dining room.
• I’d drive to Logan’s apartment and steal his couch.

What Gilmore inspired home improvement projects would you take on?

Was Thomas Kinkade Ever Hot?

I’m not the biggest fan of the artist Thomas Kinkade. In fact, his paintings annoy me and make me a little bit sad that they are classified as art. I did watch the movie about his life “The Christmas Cottage” because Dean is in it. I have never seen a picture of the artist before, just his paintings.

I was a little disappointed because I thought that finally this man would have some kind of redeeming value. I’m very disappointed. Now I want to know if he ever looked like Dean when he was younger.
