Featured: Apartment Therapy

Late last night I found out our house was featured in an Apartment Therapy post yesterday afternoon! Since AP is the mother ship of decor blogs, I was just overjoyed.
I applied on a whim - I just assumed I'd never hear from them. Kind of like playing lotto.

I have to admit I was a wee bit scared to read the comments. Sometimes it can get downright ugly but much to my shock, everyone was super sweet. Even the people who had something negative to say had some valid points.

Anywho, I just wanted to share my excitement over it. I know its not really important at all but Apartment Therapy was one of the first blogs I ever read so its almost surreal to see one of my photos staring back at me there.

If this is your first visit and want to see more about the rooms: Click on the photos at the bottom right of this page, you can see more posts about that particular room. Welcome!

Congrats! You already know I love your home and everything you guys have done so I'm not shocked that you made it on AT after applying.

I remember when we made it to the semifinals in one of the color contests on AT - I was ecstatic. :-)

Brand New and Beautiful said...

Very nice! Some people just love to be negative so I am glad that overall you received good feedback. I'd be too scared to even enter!

Suzie said...

Aww, congrats! :) Still love your kitchen!

MyLittleHappyPlace said...

A huge Congrats to you! You and your hubster have done an amazing job, and it's no wonder AT picked your home to feature - it is perfectly thought out and beautiful, yet approachable.

Kendra@My Insanity said...

Karley said...

Congrats. This is well-deserved!

Jeannine @ Small and Chic said...

Took them long enough! ;)

Jeannine @ Small and Chic said...

Okay, I'm back after reading the comments. As soon as I saw the first one about hiding the TV, I had to laugh because I think we've both written about not being afraid to let people know that we watch TV.

PaperCourt said...

Congratulations. I LOVE your kitchen!

AnNicole@Our Suburban Cottage said...

Newlywed Next Door said...

This is SO cool! Yes people on AT can be really mean but you got a TON of nice comments because you and your home are AWESOME! CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!!!!

I used to love AT, but I kind of stopped reading because of the negativity. For example
My neighbor had her beautiful condo patio deck featured on LA AT and some mean commentors started a nasty conversation about the price of the HOAs in our condo complex. So lame.

Kelly @ Dare to be Domestic said...

Congrats! Your place is nothing short of amazing!

Isabella & Max Rooms said...

Sarah said...

Hi,
This is my first brush with your renovation, thanks to AT. It's really incredible and you should be proud. You made some fantastic choices. Thanks for sharing your project and for taking all of those pictures. What are you going to do now that its finished? Did you find an untapped love for remodeling?

carrie said...

I'm surprised you haven't already been featured. Your place is gorgeous. Congrats!!! That's super cool.

Shannon said...

You are so cool! And your house is to die for! But I think I may already told you that. Congrats!!

Michelle Marsh said...

Naz said...

A well deserved congratulations..!! It was a fabulous article about your gorgeous home.

As for the people who commented about the tv. This is a person's HOME not a magazine spread, people actually live there and watch tv. Rant over.

Emily said...

Congratulations! You totally deserve it for putting together a home that has so much style & personality!

Lynett said...

What do you mean it's not important at all? It's super important! Congrats! You deserve it :)

court. said...

gigiandoliver said...

Your home is just beautiful. And all the work y'all have done to it...wow!

Hello Lover... said...

Congrats a second time! It must feel great to see your hard work on there!

Heather said...

Congratulations! This is such exciting news...I'm going to go check it out (and I'll write something nice!)

LindsB said...

Thats so awesome, you totally deserve all the press- your house is just stunning!!!

Magchunk said...

It IS a big deal, but I'm not one bit surprised that your home was chosen. It is absolutely stunning. And bravo to you for sticking up for your tv choice. Some people seem to think beautiful design is all fantasy, not for actual living. You have merged the two seamlessly.

Naz said...

Oh, btw...the office walls are Benjamin Moore's Saybrook Sage? I always thought it was turquoise in color. My kitchen is Saybrook Sage lol.

Mrs. Limestone said...

Naz - my office walls are BM Waterfall. The bedroom walls are Saybrook Sage.

Sherry @ Young House Love said...

Wahoo! Congrats chica. That's so exciting! And totally well deserved. You bet your buns everyone is being nice to you- with a house like yours what could anyone could say that's not totally lovey-dovey? In short: your house rocks. And no that was not meant to be a limestone pun...

VictoriaArt said...

carrie @ bloomacious.org said...

OMG - your house is sooo gorgeous who could ever make a negative comment!

Annie Pazoo said...

Of course it's important. It's something you're passionate about and worked really hard on/for. C'mon, it's your HOME. Nothing more important that that.
