Last year I was stunned and honored to be featured on Apartment Therapy. (They wrote an article entitled The Heroic Bedroom Makeover Project about parts of our “master suite” redecoration, namely the tank photograph and M16 lamp project.) This was a big deal to me because I love Apartment Therapy. So much inspiration and brilliance is curated on this one site, and if there is one feed to add to your subscription list it is this one.
Every year Apartment Therapy allows its readers to vote on their favorite blogs in various categories for the awards known as The Homies. I have gotten so much inspiration from the sites that have made the list or won in past years, so this morning when I found out that I had been nominated for awards in two categories I was thrilled and überexcited! Woo hoo!!!!!
I’ve been nominated for:
Best Home Design and Inspiration Blog
and
Best Home Project and DIY Blog
Pretty cool, huh? This feels like a big pat on the back, and I appreciate it more than you can imagine! Voting is going on until February 8th at 11:59 EST. I’d be honored if you’d take a wee minute and vote for us. Just click the links above to register (if you’re not already an Apartment Therapy user) and vote. Merci beaucoup!

I was trying to find a “kissy” picture of myself because I was in the mood to give the internets a big ol’ smooch, but this was the closest I could find! Muah!

Congratulations! I’m new to your blog and I am so glad I found it. I smile reading it. I may have missed your mentioning what kind of tile you used in your kitchen, if so forgive me. What kind of tile is it? The size? Where did you purchase it? Thanks for your attention and needless to say you have my vote.
Welcome Elaine! So happy to have you here. You’re words of encouragement mean so much! :)
As for the tile, I never did share the name of it – shame on me! ;) It’s Armstrong’s Rustic Wood Vinyl 12 x 12 inch tiles. I ordered them online for in-store pickup at Home Depot. Here’s the link:

They only cost about $27 for a box that covers 30 square feet. I was going for something übercheap, but I have been “floored” (haha) by how nice they feel. Email me or comment if you need help. :) xoxo
