SOS! We lost the SOS Contest!

It’s true.  We lost the SOS Contest.  Doug wanted to demand a recount but I persuaded him to keep his emails to himself.

The winner, known as Miss Mustard Seed in the blogosphere, will be redesigning her 1940s bathroom.  You can see her submission video here and visit her blog here.  She’s an excellent blogger and I’m looking forward to watching her transformation!

Speaking of losses, I also lost my first trial today.  This means I’m no closer to achieving the 16th item on my 30 Before 30 list.  But with plenty of celebrations on the horizon, I’m sure I won’t be down too long. :)

Breaking News: SOS Contest Finalists

Breaking! This just in!

Not too long ago I entered our basement in the True Value SOS Design Contest.  True Value will award $2,500 to the person with the worst design dilemma. Our design dilemma is the finished portion of our basement where Doug works.  Frankly, it’s a well-kept secret because I won’t let anyone go downstairs!

Somehow, we made it into the top ten finalists!  We need the most votes to win.  So go view our entry and vote for our design dilemma here! You can vote every day until November 5!

Stay tuned for more information about the space and our hopes for its future!
