TRADITIONAL HOME MAGAZINE
is looking for designers for their upcoming issue.
…and…seriously I can barely contain myself with excitement.
It has been a BIG TIME dream of mine to have our home published.
Like REALLY BIG TIME.
The kind of big time that would cause me to kiss you if you nominated me.
Not the gross kinda kiss, just the kinda kiss that says…ohhh..you are my new best friend.
I would love to have the photos of our home and treehouse submitted, but I need YOUR help !!!
I can’t submit them
{ uhhhm, ’cause believe-you-me, I would !!! }
I must be nominated.
*
{I will sit here and wait, on the edge of my seat, tapping my foot & humming, waiting for you to read the submission details }
Then, if you really want to see me FREAK OUT
You will nominate me.
I might even buy you dinner.
With a nice bottle of French wine.
Is this sounding like bribery?! Because it is.
Here are the deets from their website Traditional Home which includes a hilare video on what it is really like to be an Interior Designer.
And here are the details from their site listed below…..
I was too bloody excited to figure out how to download the video from their site.
I need more coffee for that.

For the past 4 years, Traditional Home has recognized up-and-coming design talent with its annual hot list of NEW TRAD designers. This year, we want your help…
We’re inviting bloggers to help us identify the next wave of emerging design talent. We’re on the hunt for 10 up-and-coming designers who epitomize the new traditional design style to be showcased in the Spring 2012 issue of TRADhome—our interactive digital magazine.
Want to help? Send us a project by your favorite new traditional
designer. If we choose your submission, you’ll have the opportunity to be
a guest editor for TRADhome’s Spring 2012 issue.
SUBMISSIONS ACCEPTED FOR 10 DAYS:
All submissions due no later than Saturday, January 21 at 5pm estEMAIL SUBMISSIONS TO: [email protected]Here’s what we need from you:
- GREAT DESIGN A project from a designer who you believe is a true up-and-comer in the design world. Remember, a NEW TRAD designer redefines “traditional” and interprets it in his/her own familiar, yet fresh fashion. We’re looking for full projects here—houses, apartments, etc.
- INSPIRATION Tell us what you feel the designer has accomplished with this project and how it demonstrates his/her distinct point-of-view.
- ACCOLADES Tell us why you feel that this designer should be selected as one of the 2012 NEW TRAD designers.
- PRETTY PICTURES Provide images of the designer’s project, along with the location. Images should be submitted as a Zip file, no larger than 10 MB.
- DETAILS Include a bio of the designer—include name, company name, address, phone, email, Twitter username, and a URL for his/her website (if applicable).
- AND MORE DETAILS Include a bio for yourself—include your name, blog name, address, phone, email, Twitter username and a URL for your blog.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
- You cannot nominate yourself. If you are a designer (in addition to a blogger) feel free to call up a blogger pal to nominate you!
- The project must be available to be photographed for the magazine—and must not have been previously published in print or digital format.
- We want to get to know you—both you and your designer must be available to be photographed for the story.
- You can submit more than one project from a designer—or more than one designer—but each submission must be sent separately.
- And finally, the buck stops here: you’ll receive a byline and a finder’s fee if your submission is chosen.
Feel Free to Share this with Your Blogging Friends! 
NOW GO NOMINATE ME…
The clock is a tickin’
And I am so freaked out with happiness that I had to type all my words today in
BOLD. YUP . BOLD.
And I wrote all this while screaming from the rooftop too.
DON’T FORGET TO CLEAR YOUR CALENDAR
BECAUSE YOU AND I ARE GOING OUT FOR DINNER
AND A DOOOOZY OF A BOTTLE OF WINE.
{insert big smile}
