Interior Designer Wannabe

I almost forgot to share some really exciting news. Since my journalism days are now fewer and farther between, it is even more exciting to get an opportunity to write, let alone get published! Recently one of my really good Bham friends, Madoline, asked me to write a little piece for one of the community newspapers she edits.

Side Note: Yes, I said one of the papers she edits. There are three local papers: Village Living, The Homewood Star, and 280 Living, and she has stepped in as the managing editor. She also happens to have a fabulous blog, Maple Macaroni, that is a great source for tons of yummy recipes. Let me just say - it's great to have friends who are such great cooks and like to test out recipes on you!

Anyway, Madoline, knowing the interior designer wannabe in me, asked me to write something for a homes special feature she was working on. I had the opportunity to interview an interior designer who stages homes for open houses and parties. It was such a great experience and it reminded me how much I like to write. The article, "The art of home staging," ran in the October issue of 280 Living. Check out the full edition here and page 25 in particular!
