New Blog Reveal & a Target Giveaway!

Hello dear friends and readers!

I hope you like the new blog name and design as much as I do! I cannot say enough about Lauren at Designer Blogs. In a matter of a day and a half, we had accomplished all of the design through emails. She was so patient with me and my vision, and her design exceeded my expectations.

Modern Vintage Interiors has been a great starting point for this little blog. There was a time where I never read blogs nor considered writing one. But, I've found myself glued to all of your home and furniture projects, and your inspiration has encouraged me to expand this little blog to include the inspiration I get from you! I just love and appreciate it when someone takes the time to post a tutorial, with product details, which is what I always try to do. I look forward to swapping ideas, paint colors, and finishing techniques.

That is how Stories of a House was born.

I will be hosting Project Diaries every weekend (starting next week) so that we can share our latest and greatest before and afters of a room, a piece of furniture, or simply a project that makes your house a home.

I am also giving away a $35 Target gift card to one of my faithful followers! To enter, just leave a comment telling me that you are a follower, old or new! It will run through Tuesday, September 21st, so spread the word!

Until next time,
