on the newsstand...

Two years ago, I met Linda @ Lime in the Coconut.
To my delight, I was asked to art-direct photography of three rooms in her home
 for Better Homes and Gardens' Kitchen + Bath Makeovers magazine.
Linda's re-design of the master bathroom was published in the Summer issue and, yesterday,
her kidlets' bathroom (pictured here) appeared in the Winter issue.
One never knows when articles finished long ago will come down the publishing pipe!



I first met Linda online...where she introduced me to her design work.
 If you aren't familiar with her wonderful blog, check it out.
 It's filled with humor, makeover treats, and relaxed fun.
Until I met Linda, I thought blogs were for daily journaling or news reports.
Once I opened Linda's blog, I could see the possibilities
and started my own.

Linda is the first blog friend I've met in person. Since then, I've met two more.
Three are on my list for meeting this winter in Florida.
Love this crazy little blog world.

Linda's blog is so inspiring...not only with her makeovers, but with her sense of fun. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading her blog and hope to have the chance to meet her when I'm in her part of the state.
