The December issue of Better Homes & Gardens magazine featuring our home is out on newstands!!! I was also chosen as the blogger of the month and am on one of the earlier pages for that. I fell in love with the other homes featured in it and they all have a fresh, natural feeling that I love. Thank you so much to everyone at BHG, especially, Joanna Lingberg, Jessica Thomas, Helen Norman, F.J. Hughes and Shelley Caldwell. This has been a dream of mine & I can't thank you enough for making it such a fun & meaningful experience.
When December arrives, I'll share some of the cool behind-the-scenes/ how-to's from the shoot.
If you'd like help creating a home you absolutely love, contact me about our design services.
As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

Anna

I love your work and thank you for sharing it us,
