Hey Sherry,
You are in your words “super cute”. I was actually making a statement more than a question..(.”do you know how expensive US mags r in AUS?) but as usual you know are bang on…yep 15 bucks plus..
This is why I was excited beyond words when I investigated the source of your Southern Flourish mag… There is a website called ISSUU which holds thousands of publications.
http://issuu.com/

Its just insane with publications for each and every genre you could imagine. All F R E E!!!!! OMG And so eco friendly

currently reading Ohio House and Garden….Seattle Home…..Houston house and garden..etc…etc..

Oh for the mums (or MTB) mummo mag is great..just finished two issues realy great reading.

Hey Rose,

For more free online magazines, maybe you can just google around with the term “free online publication” or “free online magazine” or “webzine” and be sure to check out other blogs to see if they’re mentioning urls that you can follow for lots of free eye candy. As for how much US mags cost in Australia, foreign magazines cost about $10-15 here in the US so hopefully that gives you an idea of the markup (since they have to be shipped internationally). Hope it helps!

Hi Sherry, I love the magazine. I sent them an e-mail just to rave about it. I have been a lurker for a while and went back a while ago just to read every post. My husband and I bought a house about a year ago and have yet to finish window treatments. I want to imitate your look of the bamboo blinds and curtains but cannot find good bamboo blinds for cheap enough. I looked at both Walmart an Target with no luck. I found some at JC Penney but they are a bit pricier. I am open to wood blinds as well but was just wondering if you had any tips. Thanks so much for all you do. You make decorating a lot easier for a design fearing accountant! :)

Congratulations on the press! What a great magazine. I read your feature and then couldn’t stop and ended up reading the whole thing – it’s so fun.

Aw thanks Lesley! You’re making us blush over here. And to answer your question we had NO IDEA that our blog would ever blossom like it has. John actually wanted to start this blog to document our home makeover for family and friends and I was opposed to the idea because I just didn’t get it. Isn’t that funny? I was anti blog! But of course when we started we both loved sharing our adventures and we were totally surprised when people other than our friends and family started dropping in. We still can’t believe how lucky we have been to come this far and we feel so fortunate to get to do what we love every single day.

Major congrats! I never know where I’m going to see you next! Last week you popped up on my DIY magazine email, now here. Tell me, when you started this whole blogging and renovating thing, did you have any idea it would be this successful? Couldn’t happen to a more deserving pair, er trio – bravo!
