I just read another blog where the blog author asked if people loved all the current perfectly beautiful and styled pinterest photos or if they looked at those pictures and felt like punching someone in the face. Ha! I don’t need to see someone’s messes to know they live in a house (although it does crack me up when kids write or draw all over the walls–makes me feel like I’m not alone!), but I am also really tired of seeing perfectly styled photos. They tend to be over the top, and instead of inspiring, they make me feel deflated. Show me a painted wall, Mandi!!

Let me just say this miss Mandi…I just spent an hour of my life looking around at new (to me) blogs looking for some new inspiration that wasn’t from a foreign country..and I gotta tell ya’ it all looks the same. Don’t get me wrong I jumped on the paint it with Annie Sloan and sand off the edges bandwagon too…but it got old…FAST! You wanna know what I did when I got tired of looking at all the whitewashed slipcovers? I said ” Let me go see what Mandi’s doing, she’s always got it going on” Your like my design cornerstone! I still can’t decide which living room I like better! If you’re gonna do a makeover at Sherri and John pace…I’m gonna watch every little decision…You definitely stand out from the crowd girl, and I doubt I’m the only one who can’t wait to see what the process is along the way to fabulous…oh and will your Mom take my kids too? I love your guts

Haaaaaaahahaha okay you are seriously the best. I am LOLing over here and I hardly ever do that when I read blogs. I am usually not a commenter, mostly because I don’t have anything witty to say and figure the blogger will skip my comment haha, but I just wanted to say that YOU ARE MY FAVORITE! You have THE coolest style and put things together that I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS think would look cool but some how IT TOTALLY TOTALLY DOES…..so I think we can all say that, yes, we most definitely trust you! Go Girl! I’m pumped to read these new project posts and see the whole process as it comes. Thanks for sharing your genius with us!

I’ll be glad NOT to see the “money shots.” They are too finished, too staged, and NOT real. I like the way you think outside the box and do things other people don’t do. You march to the beat of a different drummer–no magazine page perfection for you. You inspire me to do the same.

I think the interwebs is sorely lacking in “realness” right now exactly due to what you said about Pinterest and Etsy and so many other blogs. I live in the real world, living my real life, and I love seeing other real life out there, not just the staged and edited and perfected final result! So, thanks.

I’m pumped and definitely shaking my pom-poms for the slow progression… mostly because sometimes when you post before/afters it almost doesn’t feel real, and I think this will add even more personality and reality to the blog! Go Mandi go!!

I’m excited for a new room but this is going to be painful to watch… I love that bedroom so much!! Can you just bring all the décor over to my house when you’re done?? 🙂
