Well, folks, it's time to find out who won a copy of Downtown Chic from Sixx Design...and the winner chosen at random is...Deb from Dumbwit Tellher!! Deb -- send your address to JLore885 AT gmail DOT com, and I'll get this shipped out to you ASAP. For those of you who didn't win, you can purchase Downtown Chic here -- it's wonderful and would make a great gift for any design lover.
P.S. I loved reading all of your awesome design tips and empathized with your toughest challenges. I think my favorite element of design is the tremendous creativity we all are capable of when confronted with a challenge. Some of the best rooms out there are a direct result of a kitchen that is too small, a ceiling that's too high, or that awkward door that ruins your furniture plan.
I'm about to batten down the hatches for DC's version of Snowpocalypse Now (which is caused by the slightest chance of over a foot of snow -- New Englanders and Midwesterners try not to laugh.)
While some fellow DC-ers are taking this news as a sign they need to stockpile canned goods like its 1999 (y2k anyone?) I can't think of anything better to get me stoked for Christmas.
Happy Weekend, y'all! (Pictures via the awesome, hunger-inspiring blog I Need A Cupcake)
