houzz interview

10 November 2009

I'm sure you've heard about Houzz.com. It's an amazing resource of thousands of home pictures where you can find inspiration for any room in your house.

I was shocked when Adi from Houzz contacted me to be featured and interviewed. First of all, I have never even had an interiew, and are you sure you want our humble little 70's home?
I felt like I was a bit out of my league, but this also made me love Houzz even more that they feature a variety of styles of decor and home styles.

I am so honored to have my first interview ever over there today~
go on over and leave a comment for a chance to win a $50 gift card to...
can you guess which store I chose?


I am so predictable...
thank you again, Adi, for this opportunity.

    You have a beautiful home, I can definitely see why they would want to interview you. I could spend hours walking though looking at the beautiful house that you have made into a beautiful "Home". Thanks for sharing sweetie. Country hugs, Sherry

  13. I have a question about your guest room(?). I think it's the guest room, anyways. There's a lovely white daybed in there and the knobs are white. Did they come like that, or did you paint them?

    My daybed from when I was in middle school/high school looks like yours, but the knobs are brass. When my girls move into the same room, I'll be moving that daybed from my mom's garage to the *new* guest room.

    I was hoping I might be able to cover up the brass. Your photo gave me hope. ;)
