~ A Thank You ~
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who voted for our Master Bedroom in Apartment Therapy's Color Contest.
In the last round, the dining room that we were paired against received more votes than us, so we were unable to continue in the competition.It was fun while it lasted though and that was thanks to you!
I am so grateful for all of your kind words, encouragement and support for our room.
You are the greatest!

You all know Rhoda over at Southern Hospitality, right?
Well yesterday, she featured me over on her blog!

She contacted me a couple of weeks ago asking if she could post about our bedroom and how we made the transformation happen. And, of course, I said "yes"!
Thanks so much, Rhoda!
I am truly honored!

~ A Funny ~

#6 is where I really started laughing (only because that was me just yesterday, snapping photos for a post to come later today), and laughed all the way through to #1.
*Edited to add:
Apparently it's just as funny to those who find themselves married to said home decor bloggers.
Will just read it and was laughing just like I was!

Remember my trip to New Orleans and my great blogging friend, Valorie from Visual Vamp ? She shares my love of antique oyster plates!
Well the very talented Valorie has made it into the semi final round of the Apartment Therapy Room for Color Contest.
Valorie's office is fabulous. We only have 24 hours to vote for her. Please give her room a look - I am sure you will agree it should get the top honors. To vote click here.
It is my pleasure to introduce the newest sponsor at
It's The Little Things...
And let me tell you, you're in for a treat!
When Eileen, of Leen The Graphics Queen, contacted me to let me know that she would like to be a sponsor, I was thrilled! Eileen makes vinyl wall decals for your home and runs a very successful Etsy shop.
I'm just going to go ahead and confess...
I cannot pick a favorite item.
She has made some really cool designs!
Here is just a sampling...
(and pay attention, because there's something good in it for you!)
Wispy Wild Grass
Three Floral Frames
Birds On A Cherry Blossom
Three Large Wall Flowers
Free At Last

(one of my favorites - this stands an impressive 7 feet tall and is 12 feet wide!)
Name Decals
Bird In A Cage

Gorgeous Tree Branches And Leaves
Laundry...The Never Ending Story
(another one of my favorites...because, unfortunately, it's just so true!)
No More Monkeys Jumping On The Bed!
