Great Design Ideas From 2009's Emmy Nominees: Weeds
In the past season of Weeds, the Botwins moved from their gated community of Agrestic, CA, to a beach town on the border of California and Mexico. Hunkering down in Nancy's mother-in-law's house, the family set about remaking their lives. The grandma-style design of this house delighted me last season.
Casa Quickie: Weed Whacker

TeamSugar member Lafx23 recently wrote in, saying:

Many Casa readers, however, probably recognize it as the theme music for the TV show "Weeds."
