It's an honor to be nominated.

As depressed as I am about our house not making it into the finals of Apartment Therapy's contest (boo-hoo), I have to admit that it's all my fault. My fault and my camera's, really. After seeing all of the great spaces in the finals, I'm aware of how little I considered lighting and staging. Rookie move, I know. I blame my blurry, less than gorgeous photos on my limited time (newborn baby) and housekeeping skills (kinda lazy) as well as my camera that photographs everything with a Moonlighting-esque haze. Next time, I'll hire a photographer and win some s*%t.
