I am so excited to be featured in the current issue of  Decorating Shortcuts! 

How did this come about, you ask? Well, several months ago the editors contacted me about this photo that they found on my  houzz.com profile:

Amazingly, it has been added to almost  10,000 ideabooks. I'm completely baffled by this!

Since this photo was from our old house, and had been  reincarnated already, I suggested that they consider using photos from my new design, as well. I had taken all sorts of befores and afters over the past few years, so they were well stocked with images. They were totally into the idea, and moved forward with the story. I couldn't be more pleased with the final product. It turned out great! (Ironically, the image that first sparked the story wasn't including in the final layout. So goes the world of publishing...)

There's some other good stuff in the mag, too, so make sure you pick up a copy. It'll be on newstands through October 2012.
