Why hello, 2011! So nice of you to arrive with a bang!
While in the grocery store the other day, I laid my eyes on the January issue of Better Homes and Gardens (I should mention that I had been stalking the newsstands like a crazy woman). I seized it, opened it up, and there, on the page staring back at me, was ME! I desperately wanted to tap the woman in front of me and scream, “That’s me and that’s my home!”. What a dream this is! I cannot say “thank you” enough to Amy Panos of Better Homes and Gardens, Andrea Caughey for producing the shoot, and King Au for shooting it. This is something that I will treasure forever!
If you haven’t (yet) had a chance to check it out in person, here is the spread:

One of the most amazing things is how this article has connected me with new and fabulous people! Thank you to Frolic, 6th Street Design School, She’s No Martha, Curating Cuteness, You Are My Fave, 1551 Transformed, Velvet Moss, 5th Joy, Peach and Pearl, Mrs. French, Honey and Fitz, as well as all of my twitter friends new and old!

congratulations…I will run right out and buy it and and tell the woman next to me “I kow that girl”. It really is very exciting.
Fabulous! I love the mix of high and low!
The article in the magazine is how I find out about you! I love your design style, and look forward to following what you do. I just wished you lived in my town, Athens, Georgia so you could help me with my house.
Huge congrats. I saw the photos first on Frolic and I didn’t realize it was you! A-mazing!
get out of town!?
love the article! and soooo many congrats! it is a dream of mine to be in a magazine some day. i would probably pee my pants for real. and buy as many copies as i could!
congrats!!!
I loved the spread. Your home is amazing! And I love the way you design. I took some inspiration from your binders, and how you labeled them. I just loved the key tags, and I re created the look on my own photo albums, and did a post about it.
Congrats again! What a great way to kick off 2011!
I read that issue cover to cover and the article about you twice. I didn’t make the connection between your blog and the article. I’m so glad you mentioned it. It was a great piece about maximizing your space in style. Congratulations.
How great is that! I’m going to buy a copy tomorrow. Congratulations!
Amy,

I just bought the issue – your place is gorgeous, and your talent is amazing. May I ask where you got a few of your items – namely the baskets on the top shelf & 3rd row from the bottom in your bookshelf, & the baskets above the blue binders next to the flowers? I’ve been looking forever for similar items. Thank you & congratulations – best wishes for continued success!
HUGE congrats! How exciting for you…and FUN! Your NEW YEAR is off to a fabulous start!!!!

LOVED seeing your office in BH&G! It reminds me a bit of my own (that I am in the midst of revamping at bit) with the mix of modern, texture and industrial. Great work on creating a beautiful office in a small space not to mention storing all the (bleep) that come along with our job in an attractive manner! Cheers!

I just opened my BH&G and saw your amazing home! I love everything about it and I cant wait to see more amazing designs from you in the future!
I also saw you over on Eddie’s blog and just had to come check you out- LOVE your blog too!
My mom gave me an extra issue of BHG, which just happened to be the January issue with you in it. I cannot tell you enough how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your style!!! I’ve spent the past few days looking at everything you produce that I can find; I’m not a crazy stalker I swear! Your style just speaks and expresses my heart, which has brought me lots of joy and inspiration. Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing the things you create in the future
Oh goodness, that is you? You are TOO cute! I saw that spread myself in the grocery story and loved your house!!!

Congrats Amy on your spread in BH&G! I was at my parent’s house for Christmas and my Mom had the issue. I read it from cover to cover and then went out and bought my own because I absolutely love your home. The office in particular. How motivating it must be to work in a lovely space like that. I’m going to get started on beautifying mine. Thanks for the inspiration!

You are so very talented and it is wonderful to see you in BHG! You look amazing and your design is just lovely! I love that one shot of you walking in the door with all the pictures on the wall! Your home is so cozy and just perfect! All the best to you! Congrat’s!

Amy, congratulations! I love the spread. Especially love the design of your office. I can’t find fabric binders anywhere… did you make yours?
Fabulous, Amy! Just learned of you through Eddie’s blog. You are a VERY talented interior designer! Can’t wait to see more of your work!
I have poured over every detail of your spread in BHG and I love it all. My favorite things are definitely the Circa lighting sconce and that gorgeous desk. Great job mixing so many textures and surfaces. I’m so excited to have found your blog!
Hello!
I have also enjoyed reading the details about your home and design business in the BHG. Congratulations! You are so talented and I hope to see more of your work in the future.
As someone mentioned above, your brown leather bag near the front door is fabulous! Would you mind sharing the designer?
Congrats! Loved the article/photos….

Just wanted you to know that 1. your article was the reason that I bought this issue of BTHG and 2. I have never left a comment on any of the oooooo so many blogs I have visited!!!! Your home is amazing. As much as I love home design, I equally love fashion, hence the following question: 1. Do you mind sharing the source of your bag and the polka dot rain boots?!?!?!? Thank you sooooooooo much in advance!!!!
Argh! My subscription must have run out!! I will be out to buy it tonight! It looks like a great spread.
I found you from the Newlywed Diaries – and I’ve been pouring over your blog for over an hour now! Love it!
Congratulations on your spread! I fell in love with your rooms, especially the fabric you used for your drapes and office chair. Could anyone point me in the direction of the fabric pattern/design? I purged my copy after clipping your picture and forgot to save the resources section.
Thanks for your time and much continued success!
Oh, I loved your home! Just found you from The Newlywed Diaries and so glad I did. You’ve got the eye.
I LOVED this spread… and it is definitely inspiration for my next apartment. Your work is amazing. I love your blog, please continue posting!!
I recently happened on your article in BHG and love your apartment/decorating style! I have relentlessly tried to find out the color of your apartment without any luck. Would you mind sending me the name/brand of the paint color – my husband and I are wanting to paint our baby’s nursery this blissful color. Thanks!
Oh, congratulations ! You look so cute, love your living room draperies.
Love your office and that desk! I’d like to find a retailer for that!

I stumbled upon your blog today from House of Turquoise. I have been wandering through for over an hour and kept thinking your style resonated with something familiar. I just knew I had seen the clean, fresh, young, and modern grounded so seamlessly by timeless east coast esthetics somewhere before. This is where! I have this article torn out and filed as inspiration . This exact article kept me from dumping all of my old furniture when we just moved. This very articles images kept my new home from looking like I ran out and purchased all new furniture (because I didn’t.) Thank you. You saved me money, time, and more importantly have kept my house feeling like a home. The “old fashioned” china hutch I wanted so badly to toss now stores and displays much of my fabric in my office beautifully. Thank you. I am so excited to have found your blog.
