Have you ever received one of THOSE emails? You know the ones. The ones that makes you stop what you are doing and let out a little scream. A happy scream. And maybe that email even makes you do a little chair dance. Well, I got one of those back in early November from an editor at This Old House Magazine.

Bella Tucker featured on Apartment Therapy
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.

Bathroom Mirror with Barn Door Hardware
One super clever design I saw was this mirror on a barn door track. You can move it around so that it doesn't block the natural light coming in from the window.

Stained Wood Dormers
Although this was tough to photograph, I loved these stained wood dormers in the home built by Heritage Homes. I got to meet the designer, Dana Dashiell- finally.

This was my favorite house on the tour. … [Read more...] about Stained Wood Dormers
