I’m not much into decorating as a rule, but suddenly I’m rivaling Martha Stewart.
I already have lots of artwork for my many walls. Never being able to afford a masterpiece, I’d find a cheap, old magazine cover, poster or photograph then frame it lavishly.
It’s all about the packaging.
So…my bedroom is more or less at its fighting weight…done…a fait accompli, but needing a little salt and pepper, as my pal Camille would say.
I already have two great pictures of Audrey Hepburn. A Town and Country cover, and one from Life Magazine
that raise the bar, I so wish was open, considerably.
But, can you really have too much Audrey?
It’s amazing what you find online when you do a search. Funny Face, a musical, is one of my favorite Audrey films when she’s practically drugged to Paris to model for Fred Astaire whose character is loosely based on fashion icon Richard Avedon, who actually was a consultant on the film. It’s kitschy and silly, breathtakingly beautiful making you want to don a beret and hop the next plane to Paree.
I decided my Amish bedroom needed a sprinkle of our girl.
The 8 by 10 print, with tax, came to less than 5 bucks. The framing? Well, that’s another story even with my best Monty Hall, Let’s Make a Deal, persona I only haul out on special occasions. Offering cash always helps.
So, once again packaging had the last say.
Say hello to Audrey.

I think she is probably the most photogenic person ever born. She could brighten the dreariest of places. Good choice!

So glad you like it. Wanted to hang it on the walk but it was too small. Should have gotten a 9 by 12. However. I like her gazing out near the window. When you enter the room, she greets you. 🙂

Looks great, Susannah! I haven’t seen Funny Face in ages, now I’ve got a hankering.

It’s so campy but utterly delightful. She’s so pretty. And it was the first film Fred Astaire did after his wife died coming out of a very deep depression. His character, Dick Avery, was a slam dunk 🙂

ME TOO, ME TOO. Love How to Steal A Million when she’s in the closet with Peter O’Toole, and Charade has the best lines…my favorite…She says to Cary Grant…”You know what’s the matter wit you??? NOTHIN.”

LOL I love it when Cary Grant hops into the shower with his clothes on and she calls him a nut. And the finish when she see’s him behind the desk and the expression he adopts, quickly mimicking her shock. Classic. And with Peter O’Toole when they are in the museum, what fun!

When he’s in the shower with his suit on he tells Reggie, he’s gonna drip dry.
As for Peter O’Toole’s…love his long legs when he hops in and out of his little convertible without opening the door…sigh
