My Mom the Interior Decorator
Filed under: Fambly - April 24, 2008 @ 1:00 pmMy parent’s stove (circa 1966) finally bit the dust, so they had to replace it with a modern version. Trouble is, the new stove doesn’t match up to the footprint of the big n’ clunky original.
My mom’s solution? Plaster the exposed wall with pages from National Geographic.
She stood by as I gleefully snapped pics and asked with an air of resignation, “You aren’t going to put this on the internet, are you?”

OMGosh, that is so redneck. I love it.

I can see why you would prefer the term REDneck, RED, but around here we use “white trash.”

You guys should give TBK’s mom a little credit, at least she used National Geographic.
Now she cook and learn, way to multitask!

i used national geographic pics once to decorate my fish aquarium. i figured the betta fish would enjoy the pictures of naked africans running around in the jungle. Gotta use those pics for SOMEthing.
go mom.
personally i think it looks worse than just leaving it how it was.

After seeing the various samples of white trash decor from your parents, I dub you a “White Trash Decor Expert.”
You should make a nice little coffee table book, “White Trash Decoratin’ for Dummies.”

Your mom kicks ass!! I think deliciously eccentric is a more appropriate label.

I like it.
I spose it depends on how the rest of the room is decorated though.

That looks fun! All she needs is a few cork tiles up there so she can change out the “display” each month. P.S. Is that a Rachel Ray skillet?
