Romantic Homes Magazine Feature…. At The Picket Fence

Wow! So can I say, first we (Vanessa and I) are probably the last two people on earth who should be keeping “secrets.” 

So when the sweet Beth Livesay from Romantic Homes Magazine contacted me in late December informing me that they’d like to feature At The Picket Fence, (really?! our lil ol’ blog!? in their GORGEOUS magazine) along with some photos of my kitchen remodel, it was all we could do not to share with all of you…cause ya know YOU ALL are the first one’s we love to share with!

I sent the photos off with a first of January deadline…and then we waited.  And I worried just a little that maybe I had imagined it all.  I confess to even checking the email correspondence a few times to make sure I hadn’t dreamed it all up.  
Then we got the email.  The one from Diana of Nana Diana Takes A Break, who graciously highlights bloggers featured in Romantic Homes magazine each month.  “Hey gals, I’m gonna be featuring you for being in Romantic Homes!” and the the emails and Facebook Wall posts started popping up from y’all saying you had seen us.
So, We hadn’t imagined it!!
And on Saturday, I was able to finally officially get my hands on a copy of the LOVELY April edition of Romantic Homes!!

Seriously!! To even be included in the pages with such amazing homes, décor and just plain beautiful ROMANCE, is just too much…and then to find our sweet friend Sherry from No Minimalist Here included in there as well, that was the icing on the cake!

And you know what…as fun as it was to see my kitchen in print, in such a fantastic magazine like Romantic Homes, even better what Beth shared ABOUT our blog!
“This blog has a great sense of community….”

See that part about “community” in there? Well, folks that means more to us than anything else! Because we knew that Beth got what we’re trying to do.  Create “community” with an amazing group of fellow bloggers, DIYers, decorators, cooks, moms, both women and men walking on a journey together to create beauty in their everyday lives!

So, thank you Romantic Homes for sharing “our home” here At The Picket Fence with your readers! A big thank you to Jacqueline deMontravel and Beth Livesay for helping to create and produce such a lovely publication and including us in it.
And thank YOU to our friends of At The Picket Fence for meeting us here everyday! We appreciate you so much!

  7. THAT is FANTASTIC!!!! I will have to go and get a copy. Congratulations!!! So exciting.

    Vanessa, thank you for commenting on the bedroom for my girls. No, I did not make the standing lamp/lantern in the corner of the room. It was a gift when my son was born many moons ago (12 years actually) and we have enjoyed using it in the kids’ rooms ever since.

    Can’t wait to see what you girls do with Cutting Edge Stencils. I am sure it will be amazing!

    Thank you for always being so encouraging and for visiting me! and Vanessa, I never commented back on the going for a walk thing but I wished you lived closer so we could. Wouldn’t that be fun!

  23. Oh.My.Gosh! YAY! Well deserved. Your building of community is very evident! When I think about being a “better blogger”, I think of you two. You are great at building up others, sharing your knowledge and helping others grow. I believe you are receiving “just the beginning” of all that you have given. I can’t wait to see what else is in store! Love, Rebecca

I know we all dream about a magazine feature…the fact that it came true for you and Vanessa is a tribute to all bloggers. Very, very cool.

  33. I know, I saw you guys! : ) I’ve been telling my husband and family, “I know them!” and there are a couple of others, too. I have to say this issue had the most bloggers I know mentioned in it. I think they definitely hit the nail on the head with the “community” part, ladies. Congratulations!

  54. I’m so proud to know you! I get a little childish giddiness when I have a claim to fame like this. Now, I can say something kinda braggy to my IRL friends like, “Some friends of mine were featured in Romantic Homes magazine.” I’m dorky like that.

  70. This is a bit late, congratulations! Your blog isn’t a lil “ole” blog anymore. I hear your name mentioned all over the place. Love the paragraph that they wrote about 2 different points of view from 2 different states. I think I’ll stop in here more often and join the community!
