Published in Home Decor & Renovations

I am very excited to share with you that I am published in a design magazine, Home Decor & Renovations.  It is a free print publication or you can read the magazine online by clicking here and going to page 26.

{ February/March 2014 }

I am hoping I will be a regular contributor but I suppose it will depend upon the quality of my prose and how many exclamation marks I pepper my writing with!!  My dear friend, fellow wine imbiber & bibliophile, Stephanie MacDonald, is editor of Wall Media's myriad of real estate publications.  She asked me to write a few words on getting your home into the swing of spring and here is the article:

Hope you enjoy!

Room Consultations

While I was awaiting Hugo's arrival, I did a few smaller projects that kept me busy & my mind off waiting~for~baby.

Joanne's Family Room

Joanne is a long-time friend with elegance & energy to spare. She & her husband, Peter, have a family summer cabin right next to ours & I love it when we are up there together. We can spend hours drinking tea or wine {time-of-day dependent!} or going for long walks & chatting about life. We have such fun together & I enjoy her company immensely.

Joanne was feeling as though her existing family room needed a new look. She wanted to tweak it just a little but without spending a fortune. She asked me for some advice. {Now, let me be clear. Joanne has a great sense of style & is very design savvy so it was more of a conversation vs. me telling her what to do with no input from her.}

Here are some 'before' pictures {aren't these the nicest 'befores' you've ever seen!!!}:

And here is the style board that I did to give her suggestions:

Accompanying this style board is a furniture schedule which outlines where to purchase each item. This allowed Joanne to do the leg work herself when she had the time.
