thank you design*sponge!


my dining room "after"


Whoa! I've been blown away! I was so honored when Grace of design*sponge featured my dining room makeover in her before-and-after section today. I knew her blog was big and wildly popular, but I never fully understood how big until now: I've had well over 600 visitors from her site today alone...and the day's not over yet. Gulp. I'm scrambling, wishing I could offer each visitor some ice tea or cookies or something. Did I properly dust the place? (No.) Do I at least have makeup on? (Does mascara - only - count?) Well, I warmly welcome each and every one of my visitors and invite you to come again. And many thanks to Grace...her blog is a force to be reckoned with...I check in frequently and now, to have been featured there...well, I'll be going to sleep happy tonight. :-)

  7. Well how cool is that! I know what you mean about unexpected visitors. Here is a funny for you, I was in the Washington Post Thursday, the same day that I posted those HORRID photos of my house! LOL! Keeps me humble for sure! :-)

  8. I absolutely love what you did with your chairs! The silvery paint is so nice, and I like that they now don't match. I'm looking for new dining chairs, and your dining room gave me a new idea - to go buy some old chairs and paint them. Thank you!!
