Brush With Fame

In early July 2007, we entered a nation-wide contest sponsored by Oprah Winfrey's O at Home magazine. The contest was called " Knock, Knock, it's Nate" and it gave entrants the opportunity to describe their decorating ideas with winners getting to meet interior designer Nate Berkus, have their home photographed professionally for the magazine and appear on the Oprah Winfrey show. 
 We sent in 10 photos of our home as well as the required 100 word essay about our style.  In late July we found out that we were in the top 25! 

The next step required that we produce a 5 minute video tour of our home with any interesting anecdotes about the furnishings in our home. Kat did a great job in the video, but despite our best efforts we were not selected as one of the three winners... nevertheless we are delighted with the recognition that we did receive!
