StyleHaus - Designing Style For Your House

Your home should reflect the very best version of you. The look of one’s house is an extension of one’s personality. Even if you don’t know what your style is exactly, Shirley will insipre individuality that makes you say, “that’s me.”

Your personal environment matters. The right space enhances outlook, inner peace and productivity. It can’t be easily measured or proven, but it’s instinctive.

Style and function co-exist beautifully. A room designed to be bulletproof can also be completely hip and stylish with the right fabrics, storage solutions, floor coverings and room dividers.

One can get a lot of style without a lot of money. The stylish and distinctive exists without the premium - one just needs to know where to go to find perfect item within budget - because it is always out there.

Saturday Night Fever 30th Anniversary

December 14, 2007 by Michael

Excess Hollywood: ‘30 Years of ‘Saturday Night Fever’

“Saturday Night Fever” premiered Dec. 14, 1977, and defined the moment disco held in popular culture. Director John Badham’s snapshot of the 1970s disco craze, set in gritty pre-Giuliani New York, tells the story of 19-year-old Tony Manero (John Travolta, in the role that made him a film star) and his pals, whose lives revolve around Saturday nights at a Brooklyn disco. Polyester shirts, big hair, thumping music, touch-dancing, sexual promiscuity and the drug subculture were all part of the disco scene and “SNF” captured it all. Disco was dead by the 1980s but the movie remains a classic.
