Bella Tucker featured on Apartment Therapy

By Dana Tucker 10 Comments

Over 8 years ago when I first started blogging and showcasing the decorative painting work we were doing I had a dream of being featured on a national website. That dream came true in December when our home was featured on Apartment Therapy. I was introduced to the writer and photographer through a mutual friend. She was fantastic! She made our house look amazing. It was an overall great experience and the fulfillment of a dream. That is until the comments started rolling in on the feature. It turns out that Apartment Therapy has a reputation for having some pretty mean commenters. They lived up to their reputation on our home’s feature. In A.T.’s defense, they did delete some of the worst ones. (THANK YOU!)

Brooks and I are still extremely proud to have been featured and the haters can’t take that away. We’d love for you to go over and check it out. If you feel so inclined, please leave a comment. We’ve grown thick skin. Well, I have. Brooks is still an artist and that means he’s pretty adverse to criticism of his art. Ha!

Many, many THANKS to Monique, our photographer and Apartment Therapy for the feature. We couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out. It’s been a blessed year for features on our home. If you haven’t seen them yet we were also recently featured on Southern Hospitality, UnSkinny Boppy, Front Porch Ideas, Parties for Pennies, The Decorologist and The Altered Past

Stay tuned. We have another HUGE FEATURE coming up in March. Can’t wait to share that with you too. You guys are the best!

    I’ve always thought your home was amazing Dana. And a true testament to the love and care that parents put into the home for their children’s happiness as well. It’s a beautiful home, inside and out, just like the family that lives there!

    Thanks for sharing your home. Funny to see the criticism on the open frames. I’ve seen that a couple if times and really love the look. I guess people all have different opinions. Not everything speaks to everyone and that’s what is so great about this world, we are all different. But I do like your home and enjoyed the tour. Sorry some people were abrasive!

    Your dream came true? No, in my opinion, all of your hard works paid off. I am happy for you about being featured on Apartment Therapy. Your house is beautiful and well organized. You have a good taste, Dana.

Shopping for a new refrigerator? The biggest upgra Shopping for a new refrigerator? The biggest upgrade you can make in that space is to NOT get ice and water in the door. A refrigerator is so much cleaner looking without it. And if possible, adding cabinetry panels to your refrigerator is a complete style upgrade. Just order your fridge “panel ready”. A good  carpenter can guide you through completing that look.

I just finished reading @jeanstofferdesign ‘s ne I just finished reading @jeanstofferdesign ‘s new book Establishing Home. I couldn’t put it down. There was so much inspiration in her story. I loved how she drove three hours and met with seven Amish cabinet makers to find one who could execute her signature style. And she has been working with him now for 30 years. And how she leaned on her faith to make the next right step for her family  that ending up being just the right move for her business too in the big picture. She has been a huge inspiration for me and my kitchen and bath designs and I’m so thankful for her mentorship from afar even though she doesn’t know what a huge impact she has had.
