October 2011 Cover of Romantic Homes magazine
has something extra special about it.
See where it says~
10 Ways to whiten a space
Well, that is a feature I was asked to contribute after the regional editor
read my blog one day where I talked about whitening a room.
You just never know WHO is reading YOUR blog!
That is when I learned I had to take all my pics in high resolution,
because those are the only pics they can print in a magazine.
So exciting, waiting months to see what it is going to look like,
how the magazine people are going to use your words and pics
and put it all together for a national audience.
My issue finally came in the mail...
many days after others had received theirs.
This time I did not run out to a bunch of stores hunting it down.
I wanted to see how it felt just getting it in the mail~
and it felt really cool!
And it STILL feels cool!
Look, I am in the ta da section~that's cool, right?
Here is the article featuring my tips and pics of my house.
Some of my room decor has changed~
from very white to having a little more pattern and color.
Maybe I will have to write another feature
about changing things around all the time!

Now, here are the three winners of the
Scotch Blue party that will be getting free samples:
- Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions

Please send me your full name and mailing address so

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your feature, Amy. I'm not surprised at all. You have a beautiful home, and great taste. Thanks for visiting, and for the compliment. To answer your question, yes, I used a slightly transparent glaze on the chandie. The silver was for my candelabra.

Amy! I've been away from my blog and reading others' blogs in general for a couple months, so did not see this post. I picked up the October issue of Romantic Homes last night, and almost jumped out of my skin when I saw your feature! I immediately recognized your gorgeous table, and was so thrilled to see such a nice spread featuring your gorgeous living room. Congratulations! I am so happy for you! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Kimberly
