Yes, you read the headline correctly. The wonderful and talented duo John and Sherry Petersik from Young House Love were actually in Portland, at our humble abode. I had to snap a few pics so I could believe it myself…
Who would’ve thought? Never in a million years did I ever think the most famous blogging couple would be standing in my kitchen. Nope, never. Here are the deets…
Last Thursday, after John and Sherry spoke at the Portland Home and Garden Show, they popped in for a little house crashing visit. From the moment I opened the door, I was in awe of their professionalism, home decor smarts, and their warmth and kindness.
Sherry played Art Director and John played Photographer and the house crashing session began. Sherry and I walked from room to room and we chatted about everything from babies to our matching wedding rings to their newly finished book. Of course, home decor was in the mix too, but it was refreshing how easy it was to chat about everything under the sun. I pretty much monopolized Sherry’s time and John spent most of the visit hunched in random corners trying to get a few decent shots of our bungalow. Can you spot John in this photo:)?
It’s no secret why John and Sherry have hundreds of thousands of online followers. They have this blogging thing locked down, and to top it off, they are genuinely amazing people. It was a true treat to play hostess and I’m so honored they took time outta their whirlwind Portland trip to stop by!
As for when our home will be featured on Young House Love, it will probably be a few weeks or so. I will certainly let you all know when it’s our day in the sun and we grace the cover of YHL.
As for this week on the blog, it’s TGIDIYFriday time and I have a few other goodies to show you as well. Cheers to a happy week!
