Hi all, happy weekend!  First, thanks so much to all of you for your helpful comments and emails yesterday in our hunt for a trestle table, I’m so grateful for all of your insight!

I’d like to thank a few magazines for their very kind features this month.  Thanks so much to Fresh Style Magazine for the feature in their holiday issue, filled with so many ideas for the upcoming season, pick it up on newsstands or buy it here! 

The September issue of HGTV magazine is out and there’s a great bookcase styling article that includes our blue backed bookcases, thanks for including me!

Erin clued me in to this one just today, thank you Design Oklahoma for naming me as an inspiring blogger, thanks to Mia Blake for the article and to Erin for letting me know!

Finally a big thank you to all of YOU!  I don’t say it often enough, but I should tell you how grateful I am to all of you who continue to read this blog.  I appreciate you all so so much, it’s hard to convey it in words, but it’s so true.

I’ve got several projects both large and small in the works right now, one is another kitchen in a second emergency shelter we’ve adopted through the Alma Project, and we have several amazing sponsors helping out again.  We’re knee deep into that full room remodel and I’ll have another new kitchen to show you in a few short weeks.  Can’t wait!  

Have a great weekend!

I’m sitting at my desk realizing there are a lot of people to thank this week, people who have picked me for some lovely features and so I want to say it out loud right here.

Thank you to Natural Home & Garden magazine for featuring the story of our cabana in their May/June edition!

I also wrote a guest post for the Home Depot Apron blog about that cabana, which is going up again in the backyard this weekend, hooray for blissful living outdoors! 

Thank you to Ladies Home Journal magazine for featuring our recycled wine barrel planter among their 9 picks for clever container gardening in the June issue!

More thank yous to Stylelist Home for this feature on the paint swirl vases, and to Apartment Therapy for featuring the wood shim planter and the cabana too.  And thank you to Colleen and Ashley for their lovely write ups this week, I’m blushing really, thank you so much ladies.
