The Nate Show and a New Pillow

Shortly before Christmas we got an e-mail from The Nate Berkus Show asking if we might be interested in being on a segment of their show. After pinching myself and wondering if I was reading it correctly I wrote back and said of course we would be and about a month ago we filmed a "House Proud" segment and then went to New York to film a segment in their studio at CBS. We found out that it will be airing on March 19th and I am partially excited, but mostly nervous - haha! I don't like talking in front of more than two or three people, so being in front of the was camera was nerve-wracking to say the least. Anyway, although I am nervous I am looking forward to March 19th!

It has been a busy week here so far. Everything has been successfully moved up to New Hampshire and I have been working like crazy back here in Virginia on some new projects. The coffee table is pretty much finished and I moved the rug around and added a chalkboard frame to our family room. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and it will be sunny enough for me to take some photos today. It is so much fun to see a room feel fresh and new with just a few simple changes. I also got our porch put back together and have been cleaning closets and drawers and baskets and got the garage completely overhauled (it was a complete disaster - you could barely move out there!), and I am hoping to start on my next big painting project tonight once the girl's are in bed. And then I've got quite a few new things I will be starting to work on for Dear Lillie. And we've already got several new things in production right now for spring and summer. 

Today we have our newest Reagan Pillow Cover available. It is much brighter than our usual color palette but the second I saw this fabric I fell in love with it! It is just so bright and cheery and I love the mix of colors in it - it makes me so ready for summer. 



And we have also restocked our Bird's Nest Pillow Covers:



Also, I wanted to let you know we have updated the information on the Gilles Family from our post on Sunday

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

  17. Congratulations, Jenni! I can't wait to see you on Nate. How fun! What an honor that is and you are most deserving of it. I can relate about talking in front of people....I get mighty nervous myself! A few are fine. A crowd makes me uneasy. I bet you did fabulous. Love the new pillow and the pop of colors. Bright and colorful and perfect for spring and summer.
