Fort Drum Interior Decorating Contest - 1st Place!

When a sweet friend recommended that I enter the Fort Drum Interior Decorating contest, I decided I would go for it.  It was good motivation to get a few things done that I was wanting to do anyway.  Then, another friend with super photography skills so generously agreed to help me get some snaps of the house.

I was in Syracuse running errands and got a call from our Community Center telling me I could pick up my gift card.  Hmmmm....I asked, 'Is this for the Interior Decorating Contest?  Did I place?'  She said, 'Oh, I am so sorry...I thought you already knew - you got first place ($500 to Pier 1)!'

The news totally made my day.

We were only allowed to submit five pictures.  Sarah took some amazing shots, lots of incredible detailed ones.  I am such a detail junkie, it was hard for me to not use all those shots, but given the few pics we could send in, I felt that they had to be of the whole room.

Here are the pictures that I submitted...

The Family Room...
Boys' Bedroom...

Dining Room...

Eat In Kitchen...

Living Room...


Small victories, friends.

    Found your blog through Little Green Notebook. I love the stencil you did with the firework pattern! I too have been obsessed with that wallpaper but usually end up going the stencil route because of cost. Great work and happy to have found your blog for inspiration!

    I just found you through LGN and I'm so happy I did! I'm a military spouse as well and love interior decorating. It's always fun to see what you can do with new spaces. May I ask where you got the buffalo/bison painting? Love it! You have a beautiful home. :)

    May I ask how you hung that salvaged piece of wood in your dining room? I like that look!
    Also, a small suggestion - rip that skirt off that beautiful curved chesterfield!
