behind the scenes

While I’ve not posted anything new on the blog in a while, I’ve been busy behind the scenes.  If you follow me on instagram then you already got a little sneak peek of what I’ve been up to lately.  A while back……like back in January of this year I was contacted about a possible magazine photo shoot of my home.  A few emails went back and forth and then I didn’t hear anything back, so I just figured it wasn’t going to work out after all.   

But then, about a month ago I received an email asking if a September date for a photo shoot would work for me and my family.  Obviously, I couldn’t say YES fast enough!  

The stylist and two amazing photographers showed up this past Saturday to do a walk through and drop off props and lots of gorgeous flowers! 

Um, if I had known they would be storing and prepping the flowers in my laundry room, I might have cleaned it up a little.  There’s a reason you’ve never seen my laundry room on the blog. #soembarrassing  

Sunday morning bright and early they brought in some serious photography equipment and got to work photographing my entry foyer, dining room, office, living room, kitchen and master bedroom.  

I had such fun watching the team do their thing!  What goes in to creating and capturing each image is just amazing!  

I’m not sure when my house feature in Refresh Magazine, a special publication of Better Homes and Gardens, will hit stands but I’ll be sure to let you all know.  Without a doubt, this photo shoot would never have happened if it weren’t for your support and encouragement of this little blog.  I can’t thank you all enough for reading along and coming on the journey as I continue to make our fifth house a home.  If I could, I’d package up little bouquets with all the leftover flowers for each one of you!
