Want to know a secret?

My apartment is going to be in Chicago Home and Garden Magazine!

Gasp.

You may recall the guest market editing I did for them a while back, and I styled Alex Berlin's home which made it to the cover of their April issue! Well now it's my home that will be gracing the pages of one of my favorite city publications.

As if that's not cool enough... the photographer is Andy Barnes, photographer for Jayson Home and Garden catalogues (most of which I have saved and filed for styling inspiration - each of their catalogues is like a mini magazine work of art). Talk about the cherry on top.

I'm secretly so nervous to have him see my home. I know it doesn't compare to most of the high-end homes featured in the magazine, but I hope it's not completely desperate.

Anywho, speaking of Jayson, I popped in there yesterday as it has become my one-stop-shop when it comes to shopping for my mom. And seeing as it was mother's day, I swung by on my way to the burbs.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a few gold athena feather trays lying around and immediately placed one on the counter to be gift-wrapped. That, along with this darling Rifle Paper Co. card, made Mama Kaz very happy.

How were all of your weekends?
