Extra! Extra! Read All About It.

Guess whose mugs graced the new Home & Garden section in Richmond’s local paper this morning?

I know. We couldn’t believe it either.

Last week we were just sitting around minding our business when, totally out of the blue, The Richmond Times-Dispatch contacted us. They wanted our help relaunching their newly expanded Home & Garden section by featuring our DIY table project in their new column appropriately named “I Did It Myself.” Needless to say, we were ecstatic.

    Hey everyone,

    Thanks for sharing in our excitement. We adore you one and all. Come over for a newspaper celebration party! We just happen to have a table to accommodate at least four of you in the sunroom…

    Ashley, as for your question about how they found us, all we know is that one of the writers was searching for some Richmond DIY project to feature in their new column and they came across our blog. Oh happy day. And speaking of happy day, we can’t wait to see the after pics from your dining room makeover! Good luck with the rest of the transformation and please keep us posted.

    xo,
    Sherry
