Book 'em Danno: Remix: Decorating with Culture, Objects, and Soul

You know 'em, you love 'em, you can't get enough of the husband-and-wife team behind the blog AphroChic, Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason. I love their take on upcycling.  The pair always manages to live "green" on the glam side of things.  In my travels through the interwebs today I came upon a cover shot of their new book, Remix: Decorating with Culture, Objects, and Soul, a lush style guide that mixes high-end pieces with travel finds and artisan objects, and then immediately went to pre-order my copy.  Authors Hays and Mason have always managed to blow my socks off with their genuine, personal style online and I'm sure I will continue to be rendered sock-less with this offering, as well!

So, if you're all about stylish, unforgettable rooms, then I have a feeling this book is for you!  The title will be released on November 5, 2013 but can be pre-odered here.

Funny How My Finest Hour Lasted a Minute and a Half

So, I'm all a twitter cuz I'm in The Austin American Statesman today - on the front of the Lifestyles section even, yet, already!!  And, what's even cooler is that my presence there has nothing whatsoever to do with my being dead, imprisoned, or part of a scandalous news story! 

Freelance lifestyle journalist and good friend, Amy Gabriel, chose to feature me and my home in her new-ish series called Inner Space.   According to the Statesman, it's a monthly look inside some of Austin's most stylish nooks and nests.  How groovy is that?  I'm stylish and I have a nook AND a nest!  At least for today anyway!  Many thanks to Amy, the Statesman, and the talented freelance photographer, Ashley Landis, who shot these photos.

And if you're interested, you can read the full story here.  And you can get a sneak peek at the newly designed Vintage Laundry website here.

Happy almost Christmas Eve!
