Good news for Paula Deen fans: The chef is expanding her reach from the kitchen to the whole house with a line of decor from Springs Global.

Even non-cooks know who Paula Deen is: The cheerful, butter-loving Southern chef who has also reached levels of internet fame thanks to a ham-throwing incident and um, riding things.
So it's not just the foodies that will rejoice at the news that Paula Deen is launching a home collection for a spring/summer 2012 debut. Because unlike Deen's other line, Paula Deen Signature, it won't just be kitchenware. The collection will include bedding, bath, lighting and decorative accessories. (Just like fellow celeb-chef-turned-designer, Sandra Lee's line.)
"My dream of helping others realize the opportunity to express how they want to live is a passion of mine," says Deen, in a press release. "And every piece in my Home Collection echoes my love for making a house a home, and has my blessing."
It'll be interesting to see what kind of items the Paula Deen Home Collection actually has in store (and no, it probably won't include a butter pillow, though that would be kind of amazing). Right now, all we can do is take hints from the items in her Savannah-based store. That means lots of silver roosters, scrollwork and sassy sayings like "Put Some South In Your Mouth."
We can't wait.
