So I am at our local Lowes Hardware looking at pink paint…see previous post
and grab a mag…as I wait in line and…
There is our bathroom!
In all of it’s handmade glory
The cashier didn’t seem too interested…::::yawn::::
Even my kids were like…hmm…cool. in a totally non excited voice when I showed them…
then kept on watching baseball. priorities. harumph.
Well…I was excited...
.a big thank you to Better Homes and Garden’s Kitchen + Bath makeovers
and Becky…writer/stylist extraordinaire!
Maybe if I go tell Honey the hamster…I’ll find some excitement.
Because that is how this whole thing started…the little bugger escaped… got caught in the
wall from when we were tearing out the other bathroom
travelled all the way in the wall to the other end of the house…where days later we found
him scratching away at the wall. What could we do? But tear out the wall to save the hamster...
and start creating a new bath. no dummie here
No Hamsters were harmed…Honey went on to live a long (ish) happy life.
Check out the mag…especially if you are doing some re-muddling.
I was told our other bathroom remodel where Honey escaped into... will be in the Winter issue.
Lot's of good make-overs in this issue!

How cool! And you didn't even know?
No...I knew when they came for a couple of days to photograph the place. That was two, count em, two years ago. I kinda thought it wasn't going to show up...then was told it would, and they would send me a copy before it hit the stands. Hadn't recieved the copy, so assumed it wasn't out yet.
Fun surprise.
congrats on the feature!!!
EXCITING
Too cute Linda!! I am really excited about the magazine...congrats!
I have a great giveaway from Serena & Lily, do come and enter!

Wow congrats, I bet u felt proud all day long. I had a moment sorta like u did, when I had my e=mail read by Bill O'Reilly on his show. I was ecstatic telling everyone only to get the same reaction as u did. Just think very few people have had the privilege that we did and that is something to be proud about.
VERY FUN AND EXCITING!! :)
well i'm WAY excited for you !!!
and i feel like i can smell honey the hampster, cuz once you've had one, you "know" haha!
big congrats linda, big stuff:)
That is so awesome, and well deserving!!!! It's beautiful and what a great surprise!!!

HOW EXCITING! (I'm doing virtual cheering and clapping for you!)
Fantastic! You must feel so proud and how sweet that your compassionate deed led to such a great bonus for you! Will look for the Winter issue pics when they come out!
(I hope Honey the Hamster is still fine and a member of your household but in a safer environment?) He is so darn adorable!
Congrats again!
Linda (aka Beachside Cottage!)
**clapping of many hands** Oh how wonderful, Linda!!! You ROCK! Ever so proud to be your friend. Congratulations. **kisskiss** Deb
That's awesome! You know, for some reason I thought about this the other day. I remembered that post you did way back in the day when they came to your house for the photo shoot. I know these stories often take months to complete, but I wondered if it was out and you just forgot to tell us! This is so fun, what a huge kick in the pants to see your bathroom in the pages of a glossy magazine! And that's funny about the hamster. When I was little my pet hamsters and gerbils were always getting loose and finding their way into the heating ducts in the floor. My parents would put a glass jar in there with a treat inside and a little wood ramp up to it. They'd fall in and then couldn't crawl back out because of the glass sides. But I don't think they'd ever agree to tearing out walls to save them! :)
Oh My Gosh, I love the hampster story. Congratulations on the magazine. I would imagine that to be very exciting.
whoop whoop!! that's totally exciting...and it looks perfectly perfect in that magazine. can't believe you LIVE there. WOWZA!! i'm totally coveting your subway tile. i want subway tile so bad.
OMG!! That is SO exciting, Linda - congratulations. It's a well deserved feature - you rock!
I hope you have time to come over & enter our "pick your summer pillow" giveaway. The retail value is up to $200 ~ Have a great week & congrats again!! :O)
Wow! That's super-duper cool! I'll check out the issue next month when we're Stateside. Kudos!!
Very fun and exciting my friend. I can say "I knew her when"!! xo
How fabulous was that?! Took 'em long enough!
I love, love, LOVE your bathroom :)
Congrats on the spread! Very nice.

Well this is mega-exciting: another BHG triumph for you, albeit one they really should have acted upon earlier, ha!
After all, you and Honey the Hamster did such an excellent job planning and executing the reno that it certainly deserves widespread notice.
Will the mag have tons of process pics? I remember seeing some way back when, and would love to revisit all your hard work...which resulted in perfection at every stage along the way.
[As I always say nowadays, better you than me, my dear....]
Congratulations! Your bath is just lovely! Have a beautiful day, Kellie xx
Wha? They didn't send your comp copy yet? Me either...it'll come...in time.
Yay!!!! So this is what all the 'lights, camera, action' was all about a few months ago,,, Congrats...will go get a copy!
