A couple of weeks ago I was checking my email when I stumbled upon an email from a writer at Ohdeedoh. It was an email, addressed to me, wanting to feature Makena’s room on their site. What? Stop the press. Me? Little old me from Austin, Texas? I was speechless. Honored. Humbled. Appreciative. I think I even did a little shimmy shake dance around the living room. The kids joined in. The dogs ran circles around us. And we all passed out in a blogland stupor.

Princess Dresses

Her room was featured today on Ohdeedoh and I can’t begin to tell you how exciting this is for me!! Go on, have a look!

So if you are new here by way of Ohdeedoh… welcome, bonjour, hola, ciao! Good to see you. Thanks for stopping by!

Baby steps to design school. Baby steps.

    Wow, this is impressive. I look at that site and wonder, where do they find these talented people…and you are right under our noses. Congrats!

    OMGoodnes! Congrats, girl! That is the coolest news I’ve heard all month. The site was pretty cool and your article was great.

    Enjoy every one of those baby steps, you deserve it.

    Yah yah yah… What a lovely little interview, and of course the precious room. I do love the way you describe your process; actually it shows me yet another aspect of your parenting. And of course your design – I’ve seen snippets of your house throughout this blog, but keep wanting more as you have such a fantastic eye for design, yet making it real, for a family to live in rather than just look at.
    Congratulations!
    (I don’t think you need to go to design school, it’s instinct and natural talent).

    Congratulations Jade – how exciting!!! I don’t think you need to go to design school either – some people just have it ya know? Truly good design cannot be taught, it’s natural and innate!
