I’ve been without phone and internet since Monday so I am sorry that I’ve been slow to respond to emails….and have neglected my blog other than the couple of posts I’d prepared ahead of time.  I logged on tonight and was greeted to a huge spike in traffic this week.  Of course, I was curious to see what was up.  Much to my surprise, I was nominated for a “Best Home Design Blog” Homies award via Apartment Therapy.

First off, thanks so much to whomever took the time to nominate me.  Two plus years into my blog, I still get excited when you take the time to comment and email me….even if I am slow these days to respond.  So, thanks so much for whomever took the time to nominate me!  Voting is open until tomorrow night.  Lots of great blogs in the running!

In my house news, the backsplash tile is here….and being installed starting tomorrow AM.  My sister is coming into town to help me dig out over here….the house looks like a WAR zone.  She is a saint to come help!  So, I’ll most likely be back Monday with more before and after images.
