My kitchen is in the new book, Design*Sponge at Home!!
I've been reading the blog Design*Sponge for years now, so when the author, Grace Bonney, announced that she was publishing a book, I was so excited! I pre-ordered it months ago and yesterday it finally arrived in the mail (by the way, isn't the cover so pretty??). I was flipping through last night and there it was: Libby's Kitchen.
I can't believe it! The author had asked for before & after submissions on her blog maybe a year ago or something, and I sent in every DIY project I've ever done. She asked for better pictures of my kitchen, so my friend and photographer Mike came over for a photo shoot. I sent them to Grace and she thanked me for the pictures, and that was the end of it. She certainly didn't say anything about it being chosen for the book, so I just assumed it hadn't been chosen. So that's why I was so surprised to see my little yellow kitchen on page 347 in the Before & After section of the book!
YEA! So exciting :) And regardless of the fact that my kitchen is in it, you really should get this book. Its beautifully done and has almost 400 pages of homes, DIY projects and before and afters to inspire you.
