Here & There

Happy Thursday!

1) Just popping in to let you know that I was asked to be on The Nest’s expert panel on Organizing. They are running a “100 Days of Organization” series on their blog and are featuring tips from bloggers including myself. I was actually quite honoured to be asked when I saw the other bloggers on the panel.

They featured my daughter’s bookcase already and will show other areas of the house that I have organized as well.  Nothing like a blog feature to get things done! You can follow along here.

2) Also, if you live in the Toronto area, pick up a copy of Reno & Decor as a bedroom I designed is featured. Although the magazine is in limited supply at Indigo/Chapters, they are available free at select Rona stores.

Thanks Reno & Decor for featuring my work!

3) Apartment Therapy is having their annual Homie awards for the best blogs out there. Someone (maybe my friend Cecilia who always nominates me?) nominated me again this year in the Best Home Design and Inspiration blog category. 

I don’t have a chance of winning but it’s nice to be on the list. If you have loved reading my blog, then feel free to go here and vote for me. Scroll down until you see Decor Happy – I currently have 11 votes so I will be somewhere around there. Voting ends tomorrow (Feb 8) at midnight.  Thanks so much! (If you don’t have an Apartment Therapy account, all you have to do is provide an email address. You won’t be deluged with emails or anything – promise!)

Enjoy the rest of the week and thanks again!
