Could someone pinch me please?! :0)
You guys remember a while back when I said I had a HUGE announcement? Well this was it, and I’ve had to keep it a secret since JULY!! (I thought I would explode!!) The window seat that I built, is on the COVER of the October issue of This Old House Magazine, and there’s a featured article on page 92 AND 93!! Gah!
I have known since July that my window seat was going to be in the magazine, but I didn’t know until a while later it was up for the cover! It was between me and three other people, and I’m very humbled to say mine made it….blessed I tell ya! I only found out last week that it made the cover, so this is all crazy new and exciting! (and I think I squealed out loud when the note came in the mail that mine was going to be on the cover!)
I didn’t know until the end of the day of shooting that they were going to put a picture of me in the magazine too….I barely have on any make-up!! I was very happy when they said the picture was going to itty bitty! :0)
I have been curled up on my window seat much of the afternoon reading and re-reading the article! I’m so honored and excited all rolled up into one.
I’ll do a post soon on the behind the scenes pics I took and introduce you to some really nice people that helped make that cover happen…great folks!
OH..if you want a copy of the magazine, you can get them at Lowes! Our Lowes hadn’t gotten them on the stands yet, but it’s the October issue to it should be out there anytime now.
Blessings

I had to rush over from the magazine and tell you how amazing your project is! I just love everything about it! Your view is so gorgeous!! I am also obsessed with a good number of the pillows on the cover. Any chance you know any of the sources? Can't wait to explore more of your blog...that should keep me busy for a while! Congratulations!
Congratulations!! A well deserved honor for all the hard work you did in creating a beautiful window seat area!!
Amazing! This Old House is one of our favorite magazines! Congrats!!!

That is so amazing, Missy. You deserve to be so proud. Will there be enough TOH magazines left on newsstands around this area for the rest of us to get one, or will you have bought them all up? Ha ha. My FIL is a subscriber, and I read his when I go over to his house, so I'll be sure to let him know that I met the person whose home is featured on the cover!
Ack! That's so cool!!!
When I was reading my magazine, I gravitated the the "before" picture first. I thought 'I know that room...'.
Congratulations!!!!
Oh my dear sweet friend this was SO well deserved! You are so clever and creative. Not to mention you have perfect timing. Your beautiful card arrived on my sons birthday.:) Thank you SO much!
I subscribe to TOH and just read about this! How fabulous! Congratulations! I love the window seat. You give me hope I can do this :-)
