Well, this year has gotten off to an absolutely great start for me.
First off, I received a great invite, just before the Interior Design Show in Toronto, to join the Beige is Dead blog team from Masco on an Instagram walk through IDS led by Margot Austin. I wrote all about that here.
And the good things kept going, I received my beautiful new sofa and ordered some chairs for my sadly neglected family room. So that room is getting some love this year.
Then I found I had a won the $1000 shopping spree from Urban Barn that I entered at IDS. WOO HOO! Still trying to decide what loveliness I will purchase, but this coffee table for the cottage is a strong contender.
Extreme Makeover Kindness Edition has also started for the third year in a row. This time the recipient is the Youville Centre for Young Mothers. It is heating up with all the TBBs looking for donations of items and cash to ensure that a classroom is all fixed up into a cozy and calm lounging room. If you can help with any of the items still needed (click here for to like our FB page and to see the list) or a cash donation it would be so appreciated.
And I recently received another piece of wonderful news. It has put a great bounce in my step and I will be sharing once details are all worked out.
Not to worry, I didn’t forget and I’ll be posting my next IDS post this Wednesday all about lighting!
You are having a good start to the year. Here’s hoping that this is just the beginning, you deserve all the best.
Thanks Karen that is so nice of you to say. I’m very grateful for all my good fortune and happy to channel some of it back out into Extreme Makeover Kindness Edition.
Fabulous news Lisa! I say – go buy a lottery ticket! i can’t wait to hear the rest of the news too.
Ha Ha Barbara you’re not the first person to tell me that. I may just do that.
Can you please pass that horseshoe along to me once you’re done with it! 😉 Congrats on the Urban Barn win, that’s pretty sweet!
I’d be happy to pass it along Kelly 🙂
