Cottage Bungalow Fall Tour

By 1 Comment

I have a special post for you today from my dear friend, Julie from Redhead can Decorate. She has been honored to have her home featured in Cottages & Bungalows Fall Tour.

Julie received an e-mail from the editor of Cottages & Bungalows.

In the email, the editor asked if Julie would be interested in having our home photographed the following week for next years (2016) Cottages & Bungalows Fall Home Tour edition.  She was referring to the week of Thanksgiving!  You know, the week all the Fall stuff goes bye bye and you start preparing for Christmas. So, she had a big decision to make.  At first she thought, no way.  She can’t do it.  Then she slept on it.
