where i want my blog to be when it grows up

By 18 Comments

The last few weeks were all about the ‘what’ …

‘What’ I want my blog to grow up to be.  “What” I’d like to see in the future in terms of readership and sponsors …

… and then asking fellow bloggers to share their very own ‘what’s’ …

So today I invite you to dream a little dream with me …

… as I dream about ‘where’ I’d like to see my blog some day.

Like here …

… and no, I didn’t mean at Tonya of Love of Family and Home’s house.

Well, I take that back.  I would love to see Tonya’s beautiful home up close and personal …

… but I was referring to that magazine in her hand.  You know, the real subscription-based paid for magazine?  A real true-blue-well-established-big-circulation media outlet …

And do you see the story there?  That’s Tonya’s coat closet turned office. And yes. You read that right.  She turned a closet into a home office which you can read more about here …

And while I’m well beyond the nursery decorating years …

… not yet the make the national news as a ‘medical marvel’ stage …

… but if I was decorating one, I would love to see the final reveal featured here …

Where Holly of Life As a Thrifter’s adorable school-themed nursery was featured …

You can read more — and see more — of Holly’s amazing nursery reveal here …

It’s bright.  It’s fun.  It’s colorful (which I would expect nothing less of from Holly.  She truly embraces color in her home).

Now I must ask my blogging blog readers:  ‘Where’ would you like to see your blog when it grows up …?

P.S. Not that I’m not thrilled to be featured here and here this week …

  1. I’m not really sure. I don’t have really big aspirations like that…well, maybe featured on Young House Love or something 😉 OR just do a project that turns some heads. Maybe This Old House. Yeah, that’s probably where I want to end up. My house has already been on local TV (and so has my blog) And I’m already a published (multiple times over) writer thanks to working in the media.

    I wish I could give you a better answer.

    Heck, if you ask my neighbors my house belongs on a future episode of Ghost Hunters LOL

  2. Those are both lovely features Linda. It was exciting to see Tonya’s closet/office makeover in print. Pretty cool!! I did run across that nursery makeover at some point too. It’s darling. I am sure your blog will grow up to be just what it should =)

  3. How exciting and sooooo cool! Congrats to both (and to you, Linda!)… now, as for “where”? I haven’t thought that far ahead, but these gals give me something to aspire to.
    Happy weekend!

  5. they are both lovely. I think if I were to let myself dream about it I would like to see one of my refashions make it into Altered Couture. Of course, submitting something for consideration would greatly improve the chances of that happening

I’ll take whatever i can get! LOL You’re doing great Linda i know i’ll see you somewhere in the near future!!

  16. Well my blog is kind of a diary of my home renovation so I guess I’d like to see the home done and then I can look back on all the hard work and sweat and tears we went through and be proud of the outcome
