Adult Disneyland fans, this is for you. The iconic Blue Bayou Restaurant will soon become the second-ever Disneyland establishment to serve alcohol. The restaurant that serves Cajun- and Creole- inspired cuisine right inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction will begin offering limited alcoholic beverage options once it reopens. Disney announced (via WDW News Today ) that Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland park will begin offering alcoholic beverages when the theme parks reopen “soon.” This makes Blue Bayou the second publicly accessible restaurant or bar in Disneyland Park history to serve alcohol, following Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. And similarly to the beverage service at Oga’s Cantina, there won’t be an open bar at Blue Bayou.

The Staircase , the docuseries about the murder trial of Michael Peterson, is becoming a limited series for HBO Max. At one point it was rumored that Harrison Ford would play Peterson on the show, but it looks like that didn’t pan out. Instead, Colin Firth will play Peterson, a writer who was convicted of the murder of his wife, Kathleen Peterson. Peterson and his lawyers argued that Kathleen’s death was an accident, and that she had died as a result of falling down a staircase in their home. The Staircase originally aired as 10 episodes directed by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade on the French TV channel Canal+ in 2005. In 2013, Lestrade returned to the case with a two-hour special. And then, in 2018, Netflix bought the rights to the docuseries and commissioned three new episodes. Now, the entire story will be covered again in an HBO Max limited series. The story concerns Michael Peterson, a writer who was convicted of murdering his wife, Katheleen. Kathleen was found dead and drenched

Open-concept living spaces are big on airiness and charm — especially when they’re awash in SoCal sunlight, like Katie and Cody’s place in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. But open layouts can also feel a bit muddled. Katie and Cody wanted to make their living area stand out from their dining area: two spaces separated by an archway that, lovely as it is, didn’t help them feel distinct. Their walls weren’t helping either. READ MORE... Apartment Therapy| Saving the world, one room at a time https://ift.tt/3uaKFPD March 31, 2021 at 01:00PM

Between work and play, Sarah spends about 90 percent of her time in the living room of her Washington, D.C., apartment.

The culprit: the gray walls, too ho-hum to help the space pop. READ MORE... Apartment Therapy| Saving the world, one room at a time https://ift.tt/3weneqv March 31, 2021 at 01:00PM

Carrie is a thoughtful artist whose upstate New York home reflects her personality with a combination of mid-century furnishings and whimsical decor.
