Hi!
I just wanted to say that I just did my first DIY project based off your repainting a dresser tutorial this weekend. I love it and am so proud! Thanks for inspiring me to give it a try and for the awesome tutorial. I love your blog! Everything from DIY to photography to your awesome family (especially Will and your adorable nephew!) to your beautiful house is awesome. The only thing I’m jealous of is that your house is twice the size of my new house but I paid twice as much as you! Lol. The housing market outside Washington, D.C. is crazy! Keep up the great work!

Congrats! I can’t wait to see the finished products of your projects. We just moved into our house and spent the past week working on our deck. It’s amazing what a difference power washing the wood made! I was tempted to leave it alone after we washed it but I’m so so happy we decided to stain it instead. It looks fantastic (in my opinion) but was definitely a lot of work. Good luck with your deck!

Grace, in my unsolicited opinion, I think your original comment seemed like a personal attack, but that your apology was a classy thing to do.

I get it. Katie is beautiful, her hubby and son and home are gorgeous. But Katie’s spirit and soul also come across as beautiful to me. Good things to good people makes me happy!

(“Yay!”) “TRUE VALUE!”

Congrats, Katie. Continue to love you and your blog. Awesome photos. lol

Question for other readers who are not on the TVBS: How do you think True Value compares to Orange and Blue for product offerings, price, service, etc.?

Wow, so much Bower-verbage all at once! I knew from that first pic you would have me smiling. I can feel your excitement & detect the underlying mood you were in when writing this post! Congratulations, on the squad. I love reading all your craziness that makes you Katie Bower, that’s why I keep coming back. I really enjoy, mixing it up too, not just all DIY since I love your photography. Having a sneaky peek into someone else’s life who puts it out there is one of my favourite chill-out things to do.

I laughed out loud at your inner Ice. I feel like you’re awesome, Katie Bower, and I wish we were friends in real life. I am also incredibly jealous of your Blog Squad status. I’ve got a True Value store about a mile from my house and I loooooves the small-town feel and friendly service. Are you listening, True Value? Living Well on the Cheap for Blog Squad 2012!
