Hot Dots: Queensland Museum of Modern Art and artist Yayoi Kusama
I had just read in Mommy Poppins about a birthday party where the host let kids test their mad art skills all over their white washed apartment. If you can't find a kids' family willing to do that, the wall sticker dot-ified room a la polka dot loving artist Yayoi Kusama might be a solution. Check out the before and after at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. Super Cool.

I'm not sure just how many containers of WallCandy Arts you'd need to do this, but the finished product is amazing. Try your hand with Dottilicious WallCandy at Babesta.

Quick Winter Getaway: The Roxbury Motel in the Catskills
Checked out a great weekend getaway that had been on the list for some time – The Roxbury Motel in the Catskills. A stone’s throw from Plattekill and close to Hunter, Belleayre and Windham ski resorts, outdoor options were plentiful.
But the hotel was an event in and of itself. Every suite is themed and we chose the pied-e-terre dubbed “Genie’s Bottle.” Any little girl would love it—a study of how Barbara Eden felt on the ‘60s classic sitcom. The whole interior was gold, orange and pink, with drapery, fuzzy and textured pillows and chandeliers.
The bathroom was the piece de resistance – with a solar tube in the center letting in light and curved walls covered in mosaic tiles sloping up to the mouth of the “bottle.” The spa-like bathroom featured a 70-gallon Japanese soaking tub, which was pretty cool.
The suite, constructed by Paul Waddington, apparently took 6 months to create. The hotel & ski possibilities make it definitely worth a trip up to the area, though I’d wait for a snowfall. We got the manmade stuff, which worked for our little stay (the bunny slopes were full speed ahead, a few full runs were operating and the snow tubing course was a blast) but with a couple good blizzards under winter’s belt, it’d be even better. Check out the Roxbury Motel here.
