Our Home Made Canadian House & Home!

We’re super excited to share that our humble abode made Canadian House & Home’s amazing website! They approached us a while back to see if they could feature our before and after pics in an online gallery (alongside some pretty amazing designers and fellow bloggers like Grace Bonney of Design Sponge and Courtney Barnes of Style Court). Of course we jumped at the chance. Ok maybe we screamed and convulsed at the chance. And imagine our surprise when a photo of our living room actually made their home page (!) last week (by the way, thanks for all the facebook and twitter messages directing us there so we could see it for ourselves- we gaped at the screen for at least ten solid minutes).

House And Home YHL

So yeah, now we’re having a love affair with Canadian House & Home (in fact they came up more than once in the comment section of this old post about favorite mags) and we’re beyond honored to be included on their stunning site among some pretty fantastic design greats! We’re blushing. Happy Friday to all!

    Congrats!!

    I have been reading your blog about two weeks now, I don’t remember where I heard about it but I find you guys fascinating! My boyfriend and I live in an apartment and we can’t do anything to it but leave it white, so finding splashes of color to spruce up the place cheap is hard to find. So reading your blog really helps me out on how to make it look fantastic :)

    Congrats!
    I really have been loving the white walls being noticed lately like in the cozy corner…we may move soon and I’m thinking of trying a bright crisp white room. only if the floors will work I guess and natural light seems necessary to pull that off…

    Yay!

    Congratulations!

    Welcome to Canada!

    I subscribe to House & Home and Style at Home as well. I love reading both of these magazines and have stacks and stacks of them in my closet, beside my bed, in the living room. I really need to organize them using the ideas you suggested a short while back.

    Have A Happy Halloween!

    Congratulations. You’ve finally left your mark north of the 44th parallel! House and Home is one of my all time favorite design magazines. I was reading my holiday edition this morning while I ate my cereal!

    The picture of the kitchen with the baskets on top of the shelves? Where is that on the website, I’m trying to find it and I can’t and I love that design!
