BHG and Pillows

I got back to New York late Saturday night and playing catch up has been a little crazy. But it was so fun to come home and see this little piece in the July Better Homes and Gardens. They let me share some of my favorite tips for zhushing up a home on a budget. I also had to bribe them with lavish gifts so they would call me the reigning Queen of DIY. ;)

I'm going to be posting on the BHG Style Spotter blog a couple times this summer. Each post will focus on a room and a very specific way to mix it up a little without breaking the bank. Pillows are one of my great weaknesses and I'm sharing some of my currently available favorites that will instantly update your living room (and a fool-proof method for mixing colors - it's simpler than you think). Go check it out!

    Congratulations - that's amazing!

    Love all these great pillows.

    Question for you though, do you use photoshop to put these images together, or is there another good program I'm unaware of? :)

    Thanks!

    I'm horribly behind on reading my BHG magazines, but we're on vacation this week, so I brought them all with me. I was excited to see your feature and your title of "reigning queen of DIY." I do have to admit that your blog is one of the four I have emailed to me every day (because I never keep up with Google Reader), and I am always excited to see what you have going on.
