I Am Officially A Winner!

The Better Homes and Gardens May issue is out!!! I'm on pages 84 and 86. Yippee!! I had a little trouble trying to convert the PDF file to a jpeg so it looks a little wonky, but you get the idea. If you've been to my Flickr photos then you're familiar with my living room re-do already. Here it is:

Betterhomesoxman_page_1

Betterhomesoxman_page_2

As you can see I won in the category "Best Update Under $5,000." That was a cinch. I've lived my entire life on a hand-me-down budget. It's what I do best, first, out of neccessity, second, out of a sense of responsibility towards a low impact lifestyle….trying to have a little baby footprint on this earth.

    Can’t wait, can’t wait to check this out. What a wonderful thing to happen! Martha Stewart isn’t the only one to make it into a magazine…she’s got some stiff competition now.

    I just read the BHG issue this morning and really enjoyed your room–and then I happened to be on flickr and that led me here. When I saw your pages from the magazine, I made the connection. Crazy how the web has made the world smaller!
    Cheers, Jen
