Sometimes We are The Last To Know…

Yesterday began off like any other day. John went off to work, I published the morning post and began working on a design dilemma, Burger chased a few bugs on the back patio. Then John called me to say that we were simply on CNN.

WHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAA?????

It turns out that they liked our bench makeover so much that not only was it featured on the top of CNN’s homepage, but our names and website were in fact mentioned in a live broadcast on CNN along with the before & after bench pictures. Needless to say it was no longer a normal day.

One of the kind folks over at CNN had in fact contacted us on Tuesday to ask a few follow up questions about the project, so we had an inkling that we might get a random mention on their website in the coming week, but little did we know it would be a shout out on live TV less than 24 hours later. How crazy is that??!! And John was not calling me because he’d seen it (contrary to popular belief, people in advertising do more than play pool, drink brandy, and watch TV). He in fact found out about it because one of his coworker’s husbands had called his wife to tell her he’d seen it. We heard it through the grapevine. Insane! Anyway, here is the link to our little CNN appearance (that is a sentence I never thought I’d write).

So a large wet smooch goes out to the bench-makeover-loving peeps at CNN! Thanks so much for the mention. And thanks for making simply another ordinary day… not so ordinary at all. We are still pinching ourselves.
