Lucy needed a friend in S4

Whenever I think about episode 4x17 and Chris singing Dream A Little Dream of Me in front of Lucy like it was a normal thing to do or a normal mistake to make. I question like the rest of us “why didn’t she break up with him?” We could assume that it was the show itself minimizing her trauma or keeping Chris around for drama reasons. But ignoring that type of meta analysis, in character I think it all comes back to the fact that in season 4, Lucy doesn’t have the friends and support she had before. Yes I know she had Tim but we’ll get to that. Losing Jackson lost Lucy a very important person in her life, because yes they were best friends but they were also peers. They went to each other about everything. Like we saw with Vanessa Chen, Jackson was willing to go scorched earth for Lucy against her own mother, even while Lucy would’ve just suffered in silence about her parents’ disapproval. Unlike her friendships with Nyla, Angela or Tim, Jackson was a peer, they went through the academy together, they were in a very similar stage of life. He was her sounding board in a way Nolan wasn’t or Rachel used to be before she moved. Lucy in season 4 also became Tamara’s primary caretaker, she got a little sister to care about and protect. Lucy absolutely wouldn’t want to burden her with any of the emotional uncertainty or trauma she was working through. As previously demonstrated with Rachel, Lucy works through her issues by talking through them with someone. Her best ability to introspect is talking through her feelings, and having someone point out the lack of logic, or being able to point out her own logic. She can’t do that with Tamara, she’s not burdening this kid. She can’t really do this with Nyla and Angela, because while they are her friends they also outrank her, and are further in their careers and lives. Thorsen is still a rookie and isn’t quite at that level yet. That leaves Tim, but at this point, I think something would prevent Lucy from really discussing her relationship with Tim. They both can’t really admit to each other that there are problems in their relationships because well...that would require them to address their deal. THe only reason Lucy intervened with Ashley is that Ashley called *her* about Kojo So anyway back to 4x17. Chris sings the song, Lucy spirals, and then she decides to watch the video, she decides not to testify, and then she’s fine? She goes to dinner with Chris? But let’s look at that scene. Even on one of her most vulnerable days, Lucy sees that Tamara is interested in lawyer intern Austin. So she makes it easy on Tamara. She knows if she’s not perfectly okay, Tamara will feel bad and it’ll ruin her evening. Lucy cares so much, even at the detriment of her own feelings. Lucy takes care of Tamara by going to dinner with Chris and convincing herself that yeah this is fine and that being with a man who belittles her career, and doesn’t listen to her, and is moving too fast is okay. It’s okay because the two people who could clock that she’s not okay, are Tim (distracted by trying to not have feelings for Lucy, and also Lucy will always want him to be proud of her which means not being vulnerable about things she’s supposed to be “over”) and Jackson (who is dead). If Jackson had been around, Lucy could’ve let herself fall apart over the SUPER TRAUMATIC DAY, and he would’ve called her on her stubbornness in needing to make Chris work. Jackson was her safeplace, in the way that Angela was Tim’s and Nyla had become Nolan’s. S4 left her unmoored which left with the ability to grow in her relationship with Tim, but it also hindered her when things came up that she couldn’t talk to Tim about, like issues with Chris, or kissing Tim in her apartment. S4 Lucy needed her friend Jackson a whole bunch, and nothing shows that more then 4x17, because Jackson would have protected her from herself.

Oh look - Eugenie/Jack and Zara/Mike share a flight back from the Bahrain Grand Prix with Jeremy Clarkson. by u/Von_und_zu_

Oh look - Eugenie/Jack and Zara/Mike share a flight back from the Bahrain Grand Prix with Jeremy Clarkson. Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank and Mike and Zara Tindall fly back to the UK from Bahrain Grand Prix with Jeremy Clarkson and Madonna's son Rocco. (Also the Duke of Richmond, socialite Tamara Beckwith and billionaire insurance mogul David Howden. Peter Phillips and Sarah Ferguson aren't mentioned as being on the flight although they were at the Bahrain Grand Prix as well). They all look chummy. None of the royals seemed to be shunning Jeremy Clarkson after his poor satire about Madame nearly cost him his Netflix show. How sad that F1 Fan Harold couldn't make the opening race of the F1 season. Harold was at the Austin TX Grand Prix last season as a guest of Mercedes and also cozied up to Christian Horner/Red Bull.https://preview.redd.it/8dpnz0180dmc1.png?width=634&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf52da575d7c8abcad7a296ae9bf49ecff01918dMike hugging Jack Brooksbankhttps://archive.ph/I5ijvhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13154701/princess-eugenie-jack-brooksbank-zara-mike-tindall-private-jet-jeremy-clarkson-bahrain-grand-prix.htmlhttps://preview.redd.it/rcmw0qhq2dmc1.png?width=493&format=png&auto=webp&s=02f29bbdcf1dfdd042911789b43a2e0269aa06d2Prince Harry is known to be an F1 fan. In March 2020, he teamed up with [Lewis] Hamilton, 38, to open the Silverstone Experience museum in the U.K. which is dedicated to the past, present and future of British motor racing.The visit was part of Harry’s final round of royal engagements before he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from their senior roles in the royal family and relocated to her home state of California.https://ift.tt/ctF9Ozn post link: https://ift.tt/ar3KdLM author: Von_und_zu_ submitted: March 04, 2024 at 07:41PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

Dream Show Challenge 2023

I decided to do the Dream Show Challenge as it's been a while since we did one and I love doing these.

My cast list (chosen by @theadrogna) is:

Doctor Who - Arthur Darvill Psych - Timothy Omundson Leverage - Gina Bellman Star Trek Picard - Evan Evagora Stargate Atlantis - Jason Momoa Almost Paradise - Christian Kane Bridgerton - Nicola Coughlan

Presenting The Spectre Detective Agency

When Private Investigator Adam Spectre is injured during a case and falls into a coma, his younger half-brothers come to see him, meeting for the first time. Reluctantly they agree to run Adam’s detective agency until he recovers, discovering that their brother solved cases for supernatural beings and people with supernatural problems. With Adam’s friend, Tammy, Austin’s ex-army buddy Robbie, some new friends along with Adam’s spirit (linked to their father’s pocket watch) advising, Matthew and Austin find themselves in a new world filled with mystery and danger while delving into the secrets from their own family history.

Starring

Timothy Omundson as Adam Spectre

Adam was a cop for a long time but was injured saving Tamara Jamieson when her bar was being robbed. He retired and became a private detective. His agency wasn’t going anywhere until he ran into Tammy again. She introduced him to a new world with a clientele he’d never known existed and The Spectre Detective Agency became the place for supernatural beings or people with supernatural problems to go to for help. During a case, he was attacked, falling into a coma whilst holding the only thing he has from his father. An antique pocket-watch.

Arthur Darvill as Matthew Spectre

The youngest of the Spectre brothers, he grew up with his mother in a quiet town in Oxford meeting his father for the first and only time at the age of ten. Matthew met his eldest half-brother twice growing up but never knew about his other half-brother. Smart, with a love of puzzles, he’s the easiest to persuade to take over the agency. He was working as a session musician after quitting his job in IT in the hope of starting a music career. The quieter of the brothers, he finds himself drawn into the mysteries offered by the agency and is intrigued by the new world they’ve stumbled into.

And

Christian Kane as Austin Spectre

Austin grew up with his mother in a small town not far from Dallas. He also only met his father once at the age of ten but has visited Adam several times since they first met. Having only recently finished a tour with the army in special ops, Austin is looking for a new purpose. Hearing that his older brother has been hurt, he instantly goes to check on him and help in whatever way he can. Meeting Matthew, he’s intrigued to find he has a younger brother, confused that Adam never told them about one another. Austin seems to be laidback; he relaxes by playing his guitar and prefers working with his hands than a desk job but isn’t dumb. Reluctant at first to take over the agency, he finds he enjoys solving mysteries.

Episode Selection - Season One

Pilot

When Private Detective Adam Spectre is injured during what he thought was a routine case, his younger half-brothers (all who have the same father) Matthew and Austin Spectre come to check up on him, finding he’s in a coma. Surprised to meet one another in Adam’s hospital room, they go get some lunch at The Voodoo Room, the bar Adam always took Austin to when he visited. There they meet Tamara (Tammy) Jamieson, the owner, and a close friend of Adam, who tries to persuade them to take over the agency. Austin refuses instantly but Matthew’s curiosity gets the better of him. He heads to the office where he finds Adam’s case files and starts to work the last case. Finding a pocket watch sitting on the desk, Matthew picks it up then drops it when Adam appears in front of him. Austin is nearly run down while walking by the car from the photos of Adam’s accident, he realises that Matthew is in danger and races back to the office. Matthew tries to explain about Adam, handing Austin the watch who also sees Adam. Their brother explains to them exactly that he’s an astral projection and what type of cases his agency took. Before they can digest this, they’re attacked by the same men who put Adam in the hospital. While Austin fights off the attack, Adam explains to Matthew what they’re after and how to stop them. When Adam’s attacker has been arrested, Austin and Matthew are persuaded by Adam and Tammy to keep the agency going until Adam wakes up as it is a beacon of hope for many within the supernatural community. Reluctantly they agree.

Also starring

Gina Bellman as Tamara (Tammy) Jamieson

Tammy owns The Voodoo Room, a bar just a few doors down from the agency. A medium who can channel spirits and the only one who can see Adam other than Matthew and Austin. She becomes very protective of the brothers, encouraging the younger two to get to know one another but knows more about their family than she says. Caring and compassionate, her bar is a refuge for all supernatural beings. She becomes one of the resources Matthew and Austin use for the new world they’re suddenly thrust into, but she also becomes their confidant.

Fairy Tales

The agency isn’t getting cases so, to pay the bills, Austin gets some work with his old army buddy Robbie Kahale, who now owns a construction company, leaving Matthew in charge of the agency. Hired by a woman who is convinced there are fairies in her garden stealing her flowers, Adam advises Matthew, who thinks it’s a complete waste of time, that Tammy will be able to find someone who can advise. Tammy introduces Matthew to Cassandra, a sorceress. She explained that the flowers being stolen are used in a ritual that could bring about the end of the world. They work out that the ritual will take place at the construction site Austin and Robbie are working at. While Matthew, Austin and Cassandra try to stop the ritual, Robbie is trapped by the sorcerers trying to complete the ritual. After saving the world, and Robbie, the brothers discuss how out of their depth they are and ask Cassandra if they can call on her again. Glancing at Tammy, who gives her a knowing look and nod, she agrees.

Also starring

Jason Momoa as Robbie Kahale

Robbie served in the army with Austin. When he finished his tour, he took over his father’s construction business. He’s hired to work in the same town where Austin and Matthew have taken over the detective agency, and happily hires Austin to work on his crew. Robbie is a positive person, who always has an optimistic look on life. After nearly getting killed during one of the cases the brothers take, he tells Austin that he’s always welcome to work with the construction crew, but Robbie doesn’t want to get involved in any more cases. This doesn’t last long, and he soon finds himself backing up the brothers, getting more involved and soon actively joining in cases.

Nicola Coughlan as Cassandra

Cassandra is a sorceress, powerful and older than she looks. She originally helps Matthew and Austin as she owes Adam a favour, intending never to see them again. Although not wanting to be involved any further, it’s due to Tammy that she agrees to be a resource for them as she is indebted to the bar owner. She gets annoyed watching the brothers stumble around trying to solve cases so starts to actively help them. She and Robbie commiserate with one another about how much the brothers rely on them to do legwork for cases but as time moves on, she becomes very protective of them.

Memory Blank

When a young man appears at their office late at night with no idea who he is, Matthew and Austin take him in intending to take him to the police/hospital the next day. While talking to their guest he explains that he has a bracelet that guided him to the brothers. Adam explains that their guest must have powers as that is the only way he would have been able to use the bracelet to find them. Cassandra is called on the next morning and tells them he’s lost his magic. A few hours later Cassandra meets up with an old friend whose magic has been stolen. It becomes a race to find who is stealing magic and why. Once things are sorted, their guest still has no memory and no magic which Cassandra advises will only come back with his memory, so they call him Max and Tammy hires him to work in the bar.

Also starring

Evan Evagora as Max

Max has no memory of who he is, where he comes from or what kind of magic he had before it was stolen. As he has nowhere to go, Tammy gives him a job at the bar, and he becomes very popular with the younger residents of the town. He also becomes a part time assistant for the Detective Agency, able to blend into places none of the others can. He is quiet and reserved at first, considering he doesn’t know anything about himself, but as time moves on, he develops a camaraderie with Robbie who teaches him self-defence.

A Happy Medium

Tammy shuts down the bar for the evening to perform a séance. Matthew persuades her to allow him to be present, he’s interested to see what she does. During the séance Tammy is possessed by a woman who wants her murder from fifty years ago solved and refuses to leave Tammy’s body until Matthew does so. With Tammy currently not able to help them, Matthew and Austin pull together rest of the team to free their friend while trying to solve an old murder. But the more they investigate, the less Matthew and Austin trust the spirit as it looks as though she may not be the victim that she claimed to be.

Cross Country

Adam’s former police partner, Richard Walker comes to town, now working for the FBI, he’s been following a trail of dead bodies across the country who just seem to have died for no reason. Cassandra suspects a Succubus and warns them not to engage if they run across her as all men will fall under her spell. (This leads to a discussion about what is a man which ends with Cassandra storming out in annoyance that they’re not taking her warning seriously). Tammy leaves Matthew in charge of the bar when she needs to run an errand while Max is out picking up supplies. A woman, who introduces herself simply as Star, comes into the bar and strikes up a conversation with him. They flirt easily with one another, but she leaves suddenly. When Richard calls that he’s in trouble, the brothers with Cassandra race to his last position finding him unconscious with Star standing above him. Then she runs.

Meeting Again

With Richard in hospital, but expected to recover, they try to work out where Star has gone. Adam gets to talk to his unconscious friend explaining his current situation. Austin and Matthew argue with one another as Matthew is sure Star isn’t the killer, it wasn’t possible that she could have got there and attacked Richard before they arrived. When they split up to follow their own leads. Star comes to Matthew explaining she is a Siren and she’s chasing the Succubus who has been attacking men, breaking the laws that governs their people. Cassandra, Tammy, Austin, and Robbie arrive to save Matthew thinking he’s in danger, but Max is the one in danger as the girl he was picking up supplies for the bar from turns out to the killer. After they stop the Succubus, Star says goodbye to Matthew, kissing cheek she tells him her powers didn’t work on him or Austin. And suggests he ask Tammy why.

Special guest stars

Aldis Hodge as Richard Walker

Amy Pemberton as Star

Family Matters

Richard is back, not for a case but to visit Adam. At the same time, Cassandra’s mother, Miriam, is in town wanting to know why Cassandra is working with the brothers and Robbie’s stepfather is visiting. Star also arrives back in town, this time with her sister, Luna, who is also hunter for supernatural beings who break their laws. Matthew and Austin are not getting along, disagreeing on how to run the agency, how to work cases and basically everything in between. Neither are listening to Adam who is getting frustrated, as they keep leaving the watch at the office. Tammy, annoyed by the constant arguing, summons the brothers to the bar to get them to talk. The spell she uses to lock them in goes wrong and soon everyone is trapped in the bar including Star, Luna, Robbie, and Cassandra with people randomly telling the truths to one another. These truths start fights and change some relationships forever.

Guest Starring April Bowlby as Luna

The Past We Left Behind

Everyone is avoiding one another after the night of telling each other unfiltered truths. Matthew is hiding out in the office while Austin is staying in the apartment that they share above it. Going through old file boxes, Matthew finds old files and the story flashes back to Adam opening the agency, Matthew as he decides to quit his job and Austin as he finishes his tour. Each makes their decision after an unknown man always hidden in the shadows guides them on their path, all that is seen of him is a familiar pocket watch.

Missing Part 1

A couple hire the agency to find their missing daughter but because they can’t agree how to work the case decide to split up. Austin persuades Richard, who is still in town, to work with him while Matthew goes off on his own. Finding the missing girl in an old, abandoned school building, Matthew discovers she isn’t the client’s daughter but a young Succubus who has been abducted. As he tries to get her to safety, Star appears but she is being chased by the supposed parents and the three of them are soon trapped in a room filling with water. Austin and Richard realise at the same time their case is not what they thought, but before they can get to Matthew their car is run off the road, it rolls and crashes into a tree leaving them both unconscious hanging upside down. In the hospital, Adam starts to wake up just as a shadowy figure appears above him.

Missing Part 2

Thanks to Cassandra, Robbie finds Austin and Richard while Tammy and Max save Matthew, Star and the girl. Neither Austin nor Richard can remember what they found that led them to realise the case was bogus. Matthew ensures Star and her charge get away safely before he seeks out Cassandra and tells her he wants to learn magic. She reluctantly agrees but with the stipulation he cannot tell anyone she is teaching him. A call from the hospital tells them that Adam has woken up, but as they head to the hospital to see him, the people who hired them appear trying to kill them. Star and Luna save the brothers arresting the couple. Finally, the brothers go to see Adam, who has no memory of anything that happened since he fell into the coma but is happy that Matthew and Austin finally met. As the three of them sit together talking, the shadowy figure watches them, a pocket watch in his hand.

That's a wrap on film awards season. 2022 was a stupendous year for film so I can't be too put out that almost none of the performances/films/artists that I wanted to win didn't.

What could've been.

At least I liked some of the fashions. An effective balm for the pain of the losses of Justin Hurwitz', Austin Butler and ALL QUIET ALONG THE WESTERN FRONT for Best Picture.

My favourite looks of the night

Harry Shum Jr. in Adeam, followed very closely by Donald Glover in his Vanity Fair Oscar party fit.

Halle Berry in Tamara Ralph, followed very closely by my fashion queen Fan BingBing in Tony Ward Couture

Honourable Mentions:

Bad Girl Riri in Alaïa

Ram Charan with the insignia from his RRR character's uniform

N.T Rama Rao Jr in Gaurav Gupta (The tiger emblem to signify his RRR character)

Harvey Guillen in Christian Siriano

Malala Yousafzai in Ralph Lauren *I love it. It invokes Old Hollywood.

Shoreham Aghdashloo in Christian Siriano in a dress honouring Iranian women fighting for their freedom.

The Rest

Team EEAAO: Jamie Lee Curtis in Dolce & Gabbana, Michelle Yeoh in Dior, Stephanie Hsu in Valentino and Ke Huy Quan in Giorgio Armani

Team TOP GUN: MAVERICK: Monica Barbaro in Elie Saab, Jay Ellis in Fendi, Lewis Pullman and Danny Ramirez in Dior Homme.

Team Giambattista Valli (Alison Williams and her baby daddy Alexander Dreymon (The Last Kingdom) and Sandra Oh)

Team Versace: Lady Gaga, Ariana DeBose and Kerry Condon

Hunter Schafer at the Vanity Fair party

Danai Gurira in Jason Wu

Jonathan Majors in a Geoffrey B. Small.*The suit is his homage to Frederick Douglass. His ever-present tiny cup is because his mom always told him to never let anyone fill his cup (not literally)

Brendan Fraser (with sons) in Armani

Melissa McCarthy in Christian Siriano *Gorgeous

Halle Bailey in Dolce & Gabbana

Eva Longoria in Zuhair Murad *Tis a mess, I fear. This is more suited for the AVN Awards than the Oscars.

Florence Pugh in Valentino Couture*Too familiar. Too similar to what she wore at Venice.

Olivia Wilde at the Vanity Fair party.

Taika Waititi and wifey Rita Ora at the Vanity Fair party.

Emily Blunt in Valentino, Dwayne Johnson in Dolce & Gabbana

Angela Bassett in Moschino

Paul Mescal (with mum) in Gucci

Cate Blanchett in Louis Vuitton

Colin Farrell and son Henry

just watched S4, Ep. 17 of The Rookie and....

- i think that LUCY SHOULD OF BROKE UP WITH CHRIS AFTER HE SANG THE SONG!!! Like how dumb can you be to sing a song that your GF?, the girl your dating? (WHAT EVEN ARE THEY AT THIS POINT 😅) was singing while she was dying?!

- Also, anyone notice her touching the spot of the tattoo when Chris walks away?

- what ever happened to that Austin guy Tamara was talking to??

* Also, because I’ve watched all of season 5... I feel like Jonah will be one of the guys involved in whatever will continue from the finale. I don’t know.. he built randsomware and hacked the hospital, and was taken from his dying wife, seems like a person of interest to me. THOUGHTS?? Because from what we saw from the finale, people from past arrests/episodes were in on what was happening.

December 12, 2024 Lockhart, a small town 30 miles southeast of Austin, has long drawn carnivores as a barbecue mecca. Black’s, Kreuz Market, Smitty’s, and newcomer Barbs B Q put Lockhart on the map with their brisket, ribs, and sausage. More recently, as musicians and artists priced out of Austin have relocated to Lockhart, the town has become known for its art (LockhART can be spotted on bumper stickers) and music scene. New businesses — an art gallery, restaurants, bars, bookstore, gift shops, and more — have revitalized the town square and made it a tourist destination even for those not on a BBQ pilgrimage. And now it’s showing off interior design chops too. Or so it seemed on last Saturday’s Lockhart Holiday Home Tour, which featured 7 beautifully decorated homes plus a luxury cabin rental complex. Proceeds benefited the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) program, which provides books and promotes literacy for children. Here are my favorite design moments from the tour. The Red House The Red House (the exterior is now painted white) is a historic home owned by the Black family of BBQ fame. The interior is all wood plank with updated farmhouse details. I love the dining room’s mural-like, monochromatic wallpaper against the old wood trim. In the kitchen, red ribbons turned the cabinet doors into Christmas presents. Colored, diamond-paned windows admitted light into the wood-paneled stairway. A Christmas tree was glowing at the top of the stairs. Santa mug on a drink table And a droopy, Charlie Brown-type Christmas tree W. Prairie Lea Street One of my favorites on the tour, reflecting the warm personality of the owners, was a 1918 home with soaring ceilings, beautiful wooden pocket doors, and wonderful art, including this piece by Austin artist Patrick Puckett. Sitting area with plants and art Wise words Fun wallpaper in a powder room Art in the hall included a digital collage by Austin artist Dave McClinton. A gallery wall and stacks of books made the wide staircase a destination in itself. On the top floor, attic space has been transformed into a playroom/bedroom for two lucky little girls. Carlisle Guest House At The Carlisle, a short-term rental owned by Donna Blair and Tamara Carlisle of Commerce Gallery, I spotted another painting by Patrick Puckett. A bar alcove in the living room was dressed up with floral wallpaper and blue paint… …and a brass armadillo. A quirky juxtaposition caught my eye: a taxidermy deer and portrait of a pensive woman, both staring off into space. A cool snake lamp Boldly patterned wallpaper with painted trim Casa Suerte Another favorite of mine was Casa Suerte, or house of good luck, the home of ceramist Celeste Quesada and her musician husband, Adrian Quesada of the fabulous Black Pumas. A ranch home built in 1972, Casa Suerte is decades younger than most of the other homes on the tour. I adored its retro, thrifted vibe, starting with a dramatic monkey-and-floral wallpaper in the small dining room. An avocado-green bookshelf made a casual divider between the entry and sunken living room. In the kitchen, open cabinets displayed colorful pieces of Fiestaware. The graphic tile on the backsplash… …reappeared throughout the home, including in the hall bath. Retro crane wallpaper added more bold pattern. I can’t remember if this pretty vignette on a bedside table was at Casa Suerte, but I admired the silver teapot with dried white flowers against the black wall. San Jacinto Street More black walls appeared in this Folk Victorian home, setting off a contemporary green sofa. A rustic dining room table was a simple choice under a sputnik chandelier. St.Leger House Lockhart artist and architect Christopher St.Leger designed his family’s home, a recent construction, and was the general contractor. It had a very livable feel. I admired green floral wallpaper on one wall of a sitting room. Foliage and birds and a cute Christmas tree In the bath, mossy green, color-drenched walls contrasted with terracotta tile floors. Christopher’s art studio at the back of the house had lots of display and storage space for his streetscapes of Lockhart. The Leona My last stop was The Leona, a compound of recently built luxury cabins — a boutique hotel — along a spring-fed creek with a waterfall. Lake | Flato (which designed Austin’s Central Library) designed the four cabins (more are in the works across the creek), and we were allowed to tour three of them. Rialto Studio designed the lush, mostly-native landscaping. Mexican bush sage, Turk’s cap, and grasses were in bloom during the early December tour. The eclectic interiors, with each cabin uniquely decorated, were created by Sarah Stacey Interior Design. I enjoyed every little detail. I’ve seen this fabulous griffin fabric in a home designed by Amity Worrel, another maximalist designer whose work I admire. A cozy bedroom with retro wallpaper and green-checked quilt A fringed bedside lamp with a leopard base is from Anthropologie. In another cabin, a glowing blue glass chandelier draws eyes upward. It was magnetic. In the bathroom, green ruled the day with a ceramic sink basin and square tiles. In another cabin, floral wallpaper and colorful art paired with a Vertigo pendant lamp. The kitchenette in burgundy and black won me over with sun-patterned wallpaper and quirky art. A smiling water tower print is by Austin photographer Sandy Carson. A bouquet of wire and glass flowers is fun too. A snake candleholder and crane wallpaper make a sinuous echo. Forest wallpaper and a green quilt cozy up another cabin. Wallpaper detail After the tour, I stopped at Old Pal for fried chicken and admired the courthouse Christmas tree before heading home, my head full of design inspiration from little ‘ole Lockhart.
