Do It Yourself & ReadyMade: a house log
You may recall that back in April when Sherry’s belly was still full of baby we had some visitors stop by Clara’s nursery, including one wielding a big camera.
Well the pics from that double-duty photo shoot for Do It Yourself magazine and Kitchen + Bath Makeovers have at last seen the light of day. At least the ones for Do It Yourself have (the others will be popping up later this year). In fact, a bunch of you have already mentioned seeing them in the Fall 2010 issue that is out now.
Our usual “He Said, She Said” advice column took a one-issue hiatus in order to share those photos of Clara’s Hands-on-riddled nursery. There is even a never-before-seen angle that necessitated a ladder outside of Clara’s window to capture the shot. To check it out and read all the fine print, simply click the image below for an enlarged version (and click it again to zoom):
Of course there is plenty else to see in the issue. We enjoy that they are calling it their “second chances” issue since it is all about breathing new life into old salvaged items. Feel free to check it out at Barnes & Noble or even Home Depot.
In other magazine news, I am pleased to share that my little lady – well, not my littlest lady – was featured in the latest ReadyMade magazine. See that mention of “Speed Clean Your House” at the quite bottom of the cover? That is where Sherry comes in…
Simply flip to page 30 for Sherry’s interview (or click the image below to see it larger). You can also read it over on ReadyMade’s website if that is your preferred method of mag absorption. We hope cleaning up is even easier thanks to the roundup of quickie ideas. Oh and the pointer about chlorine bleach was brought in by the writer, simply in case anyone who knows about our bleach aversion was wondering.
As usual, the issue has a bunch of other cool projects and why-did not-I-think-of-that ideas in there (like the green-roofed doggie digs on page 38). It reminded us how much we enjoy reading ReadyMade. So feel free to check the rest of the mag out whenever you get a moment!
But sufficient about us, what are your cleaning shortcuts and secrets? We are consistently looking to get ‘er done even faster/easier, so spill it.
