Don’t forget to vote in the photo contest! It looks like Elizabeth is going to run away with it but you still have a little time to try to steal her lead.

Go vote in the Holiday/Winter photo contest.

Please remember that you have to link back to the contest page to be eligible to win.

Don’t forget to enter your holiday kid photo by December 31 for the chance to win a $10 gift certificate to Amazon which isn’t a lot but is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Voting will run from January 1 - 15.

Complete rules and entry form HERE.

I look forward to seeing your photos!

Old House Interiors covers American period design from 1700 to 1940, with articles on restorations, interpretive use of period decorating, sensitive kitchens and baths, furnishings, color, textiles, and more. Coverage extends to architectural styles and gardens. It’s a truly beautiful magazine with intelligent writing.
