One of the standard comments I have heard through the years of marriage from my Love is the following, "The house looks great! You have such high expectations for it, it's not like there is a magazine shoot here today. Relax. Our house is cleaner than most." Okay so I like a really REALLY clean house, my dream would be to have everything labeled and looking like Martha Stewart just walked out the door. EVERYTHING! But hey, that's not reality. Hasn't been reality since Tommy was born and certainly isn't after sweet baby #4.
Here is the funny thing ABOUT his specific comment...This Thursday there actually IS a magazine shoot taking place in our house. So yes the house really DOES need to be that clean this week, there will be a magazine here along with 6-8 other people moving stuff around to make it look picture perfect, editor, prop person, photographers etc. The Quilting Magazine, a division of Better Homes and Gardens, based in Des Moines is coming Thursday for the day to take photos for their winter magazine. So not only do I need the main floor spotless, but our bedroom and they even said possibly our basement family room need to be camera ready too.
So this week there is a lot of pressure to the cleaning of the house....it should be fun to see how they pull together magazine photos. They also asked if they could use sweet Max in a few photos of a quilt ball that is made for babies, so not sure if just his little hands and feet will be in it or all of him, but he will make his modeling debut.
I always knew your home was magazine worthy!! You have such a gift of decorating Susan! Can't wait to see the layout.
ReplyDeletethat is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting! Your home has always felt very warm and inviting to me, so whatever you're doing it works! Tell us when the magazine comes out so we can all buy it!
ReplyDeleteSounds so fun! Still need to hear the story of how this all came to be! Extra exciting that Max gets to be in some pictures!
