The Happy Home Maker: Design Day Friday: The Emerald City

Disney's Oz The Great And Powerful

No, that is not
Michelle Williams, it's me!

In tribute to one of my favorite movies of all time, "The Wizard of Oz", I am dedicating today's design board to Disney's "Oz the Great and Powerful." The movie which is released today, is near and dear to my heart. The reason...I was Glinda, the good witch! Well, not in the Disney version, but in my high school musical. I'm sure you recall the stellar performance? (Really, I just loved wearing pink, glitter, a crown and carrying a wand. Not much has changed). When I started researching for inspiration, I found out that I am not the only one with a wicked love for The Wizard of Oz. I don't think that it is any co-ink-a-dink that the color of the year for 2013 is Emerald Green. It is a rich, luxurious color that still evokes the beauty of nature and honestly looks good on anyone or with a variety of accent colors. You can interpret the Oz like feel in your wardrobe or home in a some very creative ways. Here is my Ode to Oz:

O.P.I. nail color in shades like "When Monkey's Fly" and "Which is Witch?"

Pouf or "Poof" if you are
casting a spell.

Sling Shot Monkey! He can fly and
even lets out two loud monkey
calls when you launch him.
